Variety sources claim that Legendary Pictures is in negotiations to acquire Epic Games, creator of the Unreal Engine 3 and hit video game franchisee Gears of War.
The entertainment website cites multiple sources close to the companies which have confirmed that talks are under way. Legendary has already built a relationship with the software company having earlier this year come on-board to co-finance New Line’s Gears of War movie.
Both Legendary and Epic Games have declined to comment.
