Speaking at their Hollywood & Game Summit keynote ‘Driving Mythology Forward’ Legendary Pictures chairman Thomas Tull and Brash Entertainment CEO Mitch Davis talked film and game crossovers, and why using a movie brand without a compelling reason is a “very dangerous thing. Tull, long-time film industry veteran and most recently executive producer on 300, began by saying of the two industries, “I think in general that we’re at an amazing crossroads, from a storytelling standpoint, from a gameplay standpoint, and I think it’s time for these media to start moving together. We looked at the growth in the category, and the platforms and what we think we can do, and one of the low-hanging fruit is movie games. On movie games’ checkered history, Tull said, “When you talk about why video games based on movie have had a deservedly bad rap, there are a number of issues. On the process of tying the two media together, Tull said, “I think if you wait until a movie it greenlit, you only have 14 months until it can come out, and you miss out on gameplay opportunities. Detailing Brash’s future plans, Davis said a game based on the Saw movie franchise will be coming out in the next 8-10 months. read more
