Few weeks ago, a rumor circulated the net that Gary Whitta would be working with Legendary Pictures to develop a Diablo film. The participation of Gary Whitta hasn't been confirmed, but surprise-surprise.

Legendary Pictures website is listing DIABLO under the 'In Development' section. No press release has been made available. The news section has been replaced by a 'Legendary 2.0 is coming soon' notice.

Blizzard Entertainment, manufacturer of the popular Diablo and Diablo II games, is suing New Line over that company’s choice to title an in-production film “Diablo.” Blizzard accuses New Line of trying to capitalize on the title of its game series that has sold over 5.6 million copies and brought in revenues of $103 million. Blizzard plans to eventually create a series of Diablo films. The first, entitled simply “Diablo,” was filed for trademark in April 1996, and the second, “Diablo II: Salvation,” was filed in February 1997.

Both trademarks were approved in July 2000. New Line filed to oppose Blizzard’s Diablo movie trademark. I don’t think it would be too hard for New Line to pick a new snazzy name for its film that doesn’t mess up Blizzard’s long-held plans for a Diablo movie series. That’s assuming that Vin Diesel isn’t playing a character called “Diablo” in the action film. I did a search on DiabloMovie.com and someone in Australia has been parking the domain since September 30, 2000. I don’t think that will last too long.
