Jerry Bruckheimer is getting into video games. The 62-year-old producer of Kangaroo Jack, Pearl Harbor and King Arthur will be forming a ‘game incubation studio’ as part of a collaborative joint venture with MTV Games. The studio will be developing all-new IP, with a view to creating properties that can be adapted to TV and film.
“Video games represent a new and innovative medium for what we’ve always tried to do, which is to tell great stories,” says Bruckheimer. “But this medium is unique in that it gives the player control over how those stories unfold.
“I look forward to working with MTV Games to create new original game stories, always looking for ways to innovate the medium.”
Executives from both Bruckheimer’s gaming studio and MTV will be working hand-in-hand. Gaming is apparently a “focal point of MTV Networks’ overall vertical entertainment strategy of super-serving its core audiences with engaging experiences across multiple platforms.” Sounds ace! We can’t wait to see what they come up with.
