Zack Snyder To Lead Creative Direction For Three EA Titles

Zack-Snyder
It looks like Zack Snyder (director of 300 and The Watchmen) has been hired by EA to assist in the development of three video games. We get the following scoop from our friends at IESB:

Electronic Arts Inc. today announced that renowned filmmaker Zack Snyder will bring his unique vision to the development of three original EA games. Snyder will lead the creative direction of the games while working in partnership with the production team at EA Los Angeles, the same studio currently collaborating with Steven Spielberg on Boom Blox™ and other games in development with Mr. Spielberg. Snyder’s recent works include hit movies, “The Dawn of the Dead” and “300”. He is also currently working on an adaptation of “Watchmen” based on the legendary comic book series, due to release in March 2009.

Film directors crossing over to games is a phenomenon that will increase as the days go on. With the amount of coin that games have the potential to pull in, the drive for excellence and to stay ahead of the pack is as competitive as ever. Bringing on talented visual story tellers from the world of film makes sense to me.

I enjoyed the look of 300, and have been pleased from what I have seen of The Watchmen. I think Zack Snyder is a great pick; and the fact that he’s already a fan of EA is icing on the cake.

I am curious to see details about the titles he will be working on. We will be sure to hunt for updates, and will keep you posted when we are in the know!
