You think games take a long time to make? Try movies. We've been hearing rumors of a live-action Just Cause film since waaaaay back in 2011, when The Hollywood Reporter revealed the movie, then called Just Cause: Scorpion Rising. It was already on its second writer.
Here we are almost 15 years later, learning today via The Wrap that the film (it's just called Just Cause again) is now on its ninth writer, Aaron Rabin, writer of Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan series. A director has also been attached since last year: Ángel Manuel Soto, who has some experience blowing things up from 2023's Blue Beetle.
