You know that game on Facebook, where you guys and girls keep asking me to join your mafia, because you’re at war, and you need some drugs to sell, and some extra money and guns for hire. Mafia Wars, the most seemingly annoying Facebook game (along with Farmville) people keep playing…is set to become a movie…

It would appear Hollywood executives are spent way too much time on Facebook, and gave us more of a reason to realize they’re really running low on ideas and creativity. A film adaptation of the interactive Facebook game Mafia Wars is now in development, beating a possible Farmville movie weirdly enough.
There is a built in fan base of 25.9 million Mafia Wars subscribers. An optimistic executive likely pitched the idea along with a “guaranteed” $259 million box office. Ambitious, and dumb, he/she does realize that he/she just took out the decimal of 25.9 right?

But this is how the film industry thinks in 2010. It’s all about the money in this new age of cinema. The news of this is being reported on numerous sites with a disappointment in their words, and frankly, I am pretty much the same as well. It will be provided by Radar Studios, the people that brought us Swing Vote, The Invention of Lying, All About Steve, Everybody’s Fine, and The Box.

All I wanna know is, what makes it so easy to develop something so annoying like Mafia Wars, yet insanely impossible to develop Halo? Not really fond of any to happen, but one is, and its not the cool one!

Leave us your thoughts – Like? Or sad face?
