The Movies Expansion Confirmed

Computer and Video Games (thanks Frans) has a story confirming recent indications (story) that an expansion for the PC edition of The Movies is in the works, in spite of the cancellation of the console editions of Lionhead's cinema sim. The report says the project has the working title of the Stunts & Effects Expansion Pack, indicating the thrust of the add-on will be to allow you to get in touch with your inner Bruckheimer, perhaps at the expense of your inner Mamet. The story goes on to describe new sets, the ability to create lengthier movies, and a bit on the S&E from the working title:
Alongside new effects like lasers, water effects, smoke and electrical charges, you'll have the power to direct your jaw-dropping set-pieces - with examples like the ability to fire cars off bridges, causing them to burst into flames given. Of course, to achieve these magical movie moments, you'll need to hire top-class stuntmen to do your bidding - maybe even snagging a stunt award in the process.

If they had a level of control for their movie sets that even comes close to rivaling Garry's Mod, this game would truly be great both as a sim and as the machinima tool they advertise themselves as. Even if they just introduced the Havok engine to create their stunts, or lisenced Valve's lip-synching technology.
