Report: Jerry Bruckheimer Games closed
American film and television producer Jerry Bruckheimer's eponymous software development studio Jerry Bruckheimer Games has been shut down, according to Gamespot. After having released a grand total of zero games since its inception in 2007, Jerry Bruckheimer Games is "no longer a functioning entity," a Bruckheimer Films representative is quoted as saying.Prior to this, the last we'd heard of Jerry's incubation chamber was way back in 2011, when rumors spread that the studio was working on three different titles. No games or projects, however, were ever officially announced.
Rumor: Jerry Bruckheimer Games working on three titles
We haven't heard much about Jerry Bruckheimer Games -- the company set up to make interactive software under the direction of the legendary film producer -- since it was formed, but it apparently has been hard at work on something ... or things. A resume from a former employee of the company, Justin Leader, says that Bruckheimer's label is (or at least was) developing "3 major unannounced video games, including Xbox and PS3 products." That's quite a slate for a company that hasn't officially announced or released anything. Jerry Bruckheimer Games has previously said that it would be working on original IPs. The one thing we can definitely assume: They all have (or had) protagonists who slowly walk away from explosions.
Q&A: Jordan Mechner and Jerry Bruckheimer on 'Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time'
Download the HD trailer The Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time movie won't be in theaters until May 2010, but the marketing winds are already picking up with the release of the first full-length trailer (above) -- and it looks ... kinda good. What's more, the original game's creator, Jordan Mechner, has filed an application for the trademark, "Prince of Persia The Forgotten Sands," suggesting that a new game could be in the works. More recent remarks, like those found in this Q&A, seem to indicate that an announcement from Ubisoft is coming shortly.We attended a group Q&A session with Mechner and movie producer Jerry Bruckheimer last week during the unveiling of the trailer and heard about the legacy of the franchise, casting of Jake Gyllenhaal, plans for a movie sequel, Easter eggs hidden on-screen, and hints of a new game.

Jerry Bruckheimer Games explodes onto scene, Halo 3 exec on board
MTV and Hollywood movie baron Jerry Bruckheimer made their union official this morning, lifting the 17-month shroud of secrecy off their joint venture, oh-so-creatively dubbed Jerry Bruckheimer Games. The new studio will be steered by former Microsoft exec and Halo 3 executive producer, Jim Veevaert, as the company's president of production. Veevaert will share the wheel with Jay Cohen, who joined the studio in March, his role now revealed as the company's president of development.What Cohen and company will be developing exactly, however, remains a mystery, with the studio saying only that it will create original IPs that "convey and reflect the high standards of entertainment value set by Jerry Bruckheimer." For fans of shaky cams and explosions, one thing's for certain -- finally there's a studio out there with your best interests at heart.
