Following the announcement that Fast & Furious’ Justin Lin will be helming the upcoming Helldivers movie adaptation, Shams Jorjani, CEO of Arrowhead Studios, has responded to criticism from fans over the fact Lin is not a gamer and should play the game before directing the project.
Speaking on Arrowhead’s Discord, one user took it upon themselves to suggest they should helm the Helldivers movie instead. In response, Jorjani commented, “Let Justin Lin work his magic.” Another fan asked the Arrowhead CEO to ensure that Lin “plays the game at least once,” prompting the following response: “I trust Justin. He did a great job on the Star Trek movie.”

In related news, Jorjani recently discussed the progress that Arrowhead Game Studios is making with Helldivers 2 on the performance front, stating that there’s “more work to be done” in getting the game to the level it should be at. In October, the game’s director revealed that the development team were scaling back on content updates in favour of improving Helldivers 2’s performance.
