Peter Jackson ponders original game projects
Apparently, Peter Jackson happily contributed to Modern Warfare 2's gigantic pile of cash, as a recent interview with Ain't It Cool News shows. He goes on at great length discussing his time with the game, most notably his campaign and Spec-Ops progress. More interesting, however, are his thoughts on gaming in general and his eagerness to undertake an original gaming project of his own at Wingnut Interactive. Sure, he's no stranger to gaming (he had a hand in the game adaptation of King Kong, after all), has a TinTin thing in the works and also something based on the upcoming The Hobbit movie, but he's got a few, more original ideas banging around the old noggin. Not only is he considering doing a video game -- a medium he describes is "getting more and more interesting" -- but he's also considering a movie and spin-off game approach. Really, he's at the concept stage right now. With his film The Lovely Bones finally out in theaters, he's now free to initiate his next move. That is when he's not playing Spec-Ops, of course.

Ubisoft making games based on Spielberg/Jackson Tintin films
Ubisoft's Yves Guillermot just announced that the company is working with both Steven Spielberg and (King Kong director and game collaborator) Peter Jackson on games based on the upcoming Spielberg-directed, Jackson-produced movie adaptation of the Tintin comic. The movie is currently slated for late 2011, so we'd expect to see the game around the same time.Spielberg's pretty busy being peripherally involved with the video game business today!
