Local Boyes Makes Good

Familiar-looking Canadian teams with the Weinsteins. Can a King's Speech game be far behind?

At this point, you've almost certainly encountered Adam Boyes on or around Giant Bomb. When he's not paying the Giant Bomb community to design his Christmas cards, he's popping up in various videos or podcasts from time to time to lend his special brand of expertise. It's led to a few questions, like "what the hell does that guy do?" Today, we have at least a partial answer.

Adam's company, Beefy Media, has teamed up with The Weinstein Company to turn the production company's film and television properties into games. Specifically, Beefy will "oversee all production aspects of the games."

But which properties are actually being turned into games? That part's apparently still a secret. The studio is currently working on Spy Kids 4, Scream 4, a Fraggle Rock movie, and upcoming pictures with great names like Submarine, Dirty Girl, and Butter. So maybe some of those will end up in some kind of interactive format at some point? I would totally play a submarine game called Submarine. Heck, I would play any game called Butter.

We'll start drunk dialing Adam in the middle of the night until we get some hard answers out of him.
