Hit videogame franchise 'Deus Ex' is set to get the big screen treatment.

CBS Films has secured the rights to the series, Variety has reported, with Roy Lee and Adrian Askarieh as producers.

The film is set to revolve around the third game in the franchise, Deus Ex: Human Revolution, released late last year on the Xbox, PS3 and PC.

"As is clear from the wild success of the game, Square Enix and Eidos-Montreal know how to exceed their audience's expectations by engineering incredible worlds," CBS Films co-president Terry Press said.

"No one knows 'Human Revolution' like the team that created it, and we look forward to working with them from day one to make a film adaptation worthy of the 'Deus Ex' name."
