Payday-in-Fortnite isn't the day's only big news out of everybody's favorite violent clowns rob banks franchise.
Starbreeze, in partnership with Vice Studios, has also done a deal with Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson's G-Unit Film and Television to "executive produce" an adaptation of Payday.
The deal between Starbreeze and Vice, announced in March, says only that the two will "adapt Payday for audiences beyond games, across screen and other formats," and that's the case in today's announcement, too.
"Teaming up with Starbreeze and Vice Studios and bringing the world of Payday to the screen gives us the chance to build something big, a high-energy franchise that pushes the heist genre forward."
