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.
