Seth Gordon talks making the WarGames reboot

_*Horrible Bosses*_*and _King Of Kong_ director Seth Gordon has been
chatting about his recently-announced _WarGames_ reboot.*

The original 1983 _WarGames_ followed a teenage boy who discovers that
his computer game has the ability to launch real-life missiles.

“That’s a big project,” Gordon admits, “and
I’m going to be focusing on it immediately, but not exclusively.

“It will take a long time ‘cause we have to write it and
then cast it. It’s a lot of steps. I’m hoping to get that
going, and also sneak a smaller film in between.”

The director goes on to reveal what attracted him to the remake in the
first place, saying:

“I love the original. I’m a bit of a hacker fanatic, and
know a fair bit about that industry and cyber crime and cyber warfare.
I have a real point-of-view on the material and how things have
changed.

“And also, I think the politics of the world have changed in
really fascinating ways since 1983. There’s no longer a
monolithic evil empire somewhere, spreading a different philosophy of
life. That doesn’t exist.

“It’s a much more complicated, nuanced, political world
we’re in, and I think that actually makes for a more interesting
plot to tell. Frankly, cyber attack is a lot more real.”

_Horrible Bosses_ opens 22 July.
