Continuing on the thread of the Game and Movie industry moving closer together, I was caught by the information in IMDB today when I was researching James DeMonaco for the story on the Trailer for Assault on Precinct 13. I saw the title Driver under his writing credits and I read the blurb:
An undercover cop named Tanner posing as a getaway driver risks his life in order to infiltrate a crime ring based in four of America’s biggest cities.
Okay, so it’s definitely the Driver series of games. Which, by the way, number three sucked big time. I should know, I got the game free and gave it away!
Any chance this could be a good one? Well with DeMonaco as one of the writers on the credits role, and with him having worked on the new Assault screenplay as well as The Negotiator, I think it might have a good chance. One good thing is that the plot is a real plot, if you get my meaning. It’s all based in modern day, on modern reality, and not some other world, future events, or big bug eyed alien monsters. Let’s just hope the film doesn’t suck as much as the third game did.
More ammo to say that the Game industry is the Movie industry’s new puppy.
I agree. The Driv3r videogame sucked big time and that’s unfortunate ’cause I like this genere.
It seems like lately the only interesting movie news has been about movies based on comic books, video games and old TV shows. Is Hollywood truly that bankrupt of original ideas? My take on this is that the Hollywood system now simply cannot afford to invest in movies that don’t already have a built-in audience.
Ok no, don’t mind :) i’m tired and don’t have read all
“Driver videogame in development”… Uh… i guess you mean “Driver movie in development” ? cause a driver videogame in development is not a surprise.
