Hollywood is still chomping at the bit for hot new video game properties, this time setting their sights on the freshly-released Darksiders.  In a phone interview with VG247, Vigil Games’ creative director and comic book powerhouse Joe Madureira confirmed that Tinseltown has been sniffing around the new property.
