'300' director to make games for EA

October 01, 2008 in News comments 10

A game based on the movie '300' has already been made, but now its director Zack Snyder will be taking the opposite approach and making some games of his own, thanks to a deal signed with EA.

Snyder is set to make three original properties for the company, which in turn could be made into movies by Snyder's production house.

He will work with EA’s Los Angeles studio, which will develop the games. It is known for games such as Command & Conquer 3, The Battle for Middle-earth and more.

As expected, EA will retain the rights to these IPs and will have the option to turn them into movies, which will be produced by Snyder’s “Cruel & Unusual Films” production company.

Snyder joins the ranks of Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson who are working with game companies on various projects.

    Why EA though... Why not a respectable gaming company? Snyder got caught up in politics - especially the video games turned movies (and unfortunately vice versa) speculation.

      well i know EA hasn't had the best reputation for games, but it really seems like they are stepping it up and maybe this is a move further in that direction.

    This sounds pretty kickass. My hope is that there will be a "This is Sparta!" scene in each game. Well, maybe not.

    Seriously, though, 300 had so much cinematic sophistication, he could come out with some pretty awesome games!

    Great. He at least could've chosen a better company to partner with. -_-

    Who let that person live? 300 was without a doubt the worst movie I have ever seen in my entire life and I've seen movies by Lindsey Lohan.

    EA has lost respect.

      That statement is without a doubt the doucheiest thing I have ever read in my entire life and I've read Jack Thompson's statements.

      You have lost respect.
