Mark Rein has dismissed the rumor that Legendary Pictures is looking to acquire Epic Games as "just another rumor."

Whew. I thought I was looking at a whole new generation of bad video game movie adaptations.

There’s no official word on this yet but several sources close to the companies involved did confirm that talks between the two giants are well under way. Legendary Pictures and its chairman, Thomas Tull, are reportedly very interested in Epic, who is admittedly open to the idea.
