First of all John Woo did NOT direct Stranglehold…he merely assisted in it’s making, seeing as it was meant to be a ’sequel’ to the film. He helped develop the story and reviewed the look of the game.

Any film directors working on games I find bizzare – making a film is incredibly different than making a game. When you make a game…it’s like creating a giant machine, with many little pieces working together as one. I work in this industry (as well as film/advertising) so I have some experience with this stuff’s…
Now, I can’t say that Zack Snyder is a bad game designer because I simply won’t know until we see more details on one of his titles. Either way I’m pretty certain he won’t be developing the game and his role will be a lot like Mr. Woo with Stranglehold.

Spielberg had nothing to do with Bloom Blox aside from having his name on the box. Snyder won’t be a “creative director”… the suits and focus testers will be. This is just another EA publicity stunt.

John Woo directed Stranglehold (Sequel to HardBoiled) and that was awesome, so cant wait to see what Zack can do.

Maybe one of these games can be turned into a movie. A game adaptation that can actually work !!

You know what would be better, if they pushed back Watchmen! That would be so great for me
