In a major shift, MGM and Electronic Arts have ended their deal for [James Bond games], one of the most popular and profitable licenses in the vidgame bizbiz, four years before it was skedded to end.
Lion has signed a new deal with game publisher Activision that extends through 2014 and is worth around $50 million, according to insiders.
In other big videogame news prior to next week's E3 industry confabconfab, THQ has confirmed that it is developing a "Sopranos" game that will include the show's creative team and cast, while Warner Bros. and EA have delayed the "Superman Returns" game from the theatrical release date in June to the DVD release this fall -- a potentially costly move.
From Cynopsis -
VH1 has ordered up a new series for the fall called My Big Fat Fabulous Wedding, a reality series showcasing weddings with a bottom line expenses north of a half million bucks. This is like taking MTV's Tiara Girls and looking ahead a few years. The new show will be produced by Pink Sneaker Prods., who also is the crew behind Tiara Girls.
You know, I really don't get the appeal of watching rich assholes happily behave like rich assholes. There is no lesson learned at the end of the episode. My Super Sweet 16 or whatever it's called features spoiled brats behaving like spoiled brats, and instead of getting punched in the face by their parents, getting Lexuses (Lexii?). Is the American public not getting their recommended daily dose of "fucking asshole"? If so, I recommend you join me on my morning and evening commutes, or perhaps join a TV network as receptionist.
In short, the only way I'd find My Big Fat Fabulous Wedding entertaining is if it were paired with My Big Fat Wretched Debt-Filled Divorce.
Speaking of horrific weddings:
Casting Call: A new TV show, Battle of the Wedding Singers on GSN produced by New Line Television, is looking for couples getting married who would be willing to have two professional wedding singers battle it out at their real-life reception. The wedding guests at each reception will judge which singer is the best. Each participating couple will receive an appearance fee, have their wedding music arranged and paid for by the show and receive a wedding video. If you want to immortalize your wedding on national TV send the following information: your name and your fiance's; the location of your wedding (note: they are shooting in Southern California only); the date of your wedding (May to July dates preferred); photos and bio info on you and your finance.
