Also, I'd like to add that the several news sites you mentioned say that Michael is playing the lead role, they said he might be playing Desmond, but there no official word on that yet. Journalism doesn't just rely facts, they are meant to be entertaining and give way to discussion as well. And where does it say the film might be based on the games?
