Thomas Tull, the guy behind Legendary Pictures, which is the studio behind Batman Begins and 300, and Mitch Davis, the guy behind up-and-coming movie-centric dev Brash , gave a little talk today at the Hollywood & Games gathering touching on several interesting things, not least of which was their work on the upcoming World of Warcraft movie. Alice Taylor, our very bestest friend at the BBC and occasional Kotaku contributor, has a not write up on their introductory speech. I think my very favorite part of the whole speech was when Tull decided to drop the ET game into his speech as some sort of proof he was a gamer as a child. He does redeem himself later in the speech by saying he’s a big fan of Gears of War and even mentions CliffyB, not even using the dev’s given name. I have very strong feelings from the movie side, making games into movies just because they sold well, pretty bad idea. What we look for, it doesn’t matter whether it’s a graphic novel, or a television show, if there’s a great mythology and story and a jumping off point that we can use in that world, well that’s really interesting. read more
