Last October, Microsoft disclosed it had struck a deal with Boll KG, the production company behind a number of high-profile movie adaptations of games (including House of the Dead and the upcoming Bloodrayne) to produce a feature film based on the popular RPG Dungeon Siege. Today, producer/director Uwe Boll, founder and head of Boll KG, told GameSpot that screenwriter David Freeman has been picked to write the screenplay for the project. The deal was finalized yesterday.

Freeman's game credits include script credit for upcoming titles Van Helsing, Mission Impossible: Operation Surma, and Command and Conquer 3. In the area of film and TV, Freeman has written and developed scripts and other properties which have been bought or optioned by Columbia Pictures, MGM, Paramount, Castle Rock, and Buena Vista Television.
