     The new face of licensed video games.
     The new face of licensed video games.
    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.

    Now would be the perfect time to pitch the Lincoln Force movie to the Weinsteins. Though with The Lincoln Lawyer, the Lincoln assassination movie and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, Hollywood may be all Lincolned out!

    @Tuggah: Hey Tuggah - The whole reason I'm involved is to make sure it's NOT bad. If I thought the stuff would be bad, I wouldn't have partnered up with them! Our goal is to break the mold of crappy Hollywood games. 
     
    @Nemuel: With it comes the incredible back catalog as well. The Dimension Films label has an incredible repertoire of IPs in it, and we're excited to dig in.

    Do the Weinsteins still have "The Talented Mr Ripley" rights? If not, could you still just make an unaffiliated game where you hit Jude Law in the face with an oar?

    Yeah, this is great news. If anyone can help make decent movie tie-ins, it's Adam Boyes. 
     
    One thing made me laugh when I first saw the story here, was a quote from Adam:  

    "The Weinstein Company is an incredible entertainment company, and I share their vision for creating very high quality content for the marketplace,” said Boyes. “We plan to combine our extensive video game developer relationships with the impressive catalogue of properties to create and produce content made by gamers for gamers.”   

    I can totally imagine Adam just saying something along the lines of "The Weinstein Company is the shit!!" and then some PR guy extrapolating it into that long ass quote.

    @oysteinBrenne: There has been a VERY high bar set lately with X-Men Origin Wolverine and the Batman Arkham games for sure. Our focus is on all of the digital platforms more than the retail ones - my strengths definitely lie in the digital space. 
     
    @Alphazero: That was unrelated as that was in regards to app development. We're in pretty tight with a lot of mobile game companies, but nothing to talk about yet ;) 
     
    @heatDrive88: No fucking joke - I pitched that in my first meeting with them. They weren't gamers. It almost made me lose the deal ;) but I'll still push for it.

    @TheBooya: That's unfortunate. You may have lost that battle, but the real loser from that rejection of concept is the gamers getting more FMV in their video games. Considering your focus on digital platforms, I guess we'll have to settle for an Equilibrium dual-joystick shooter, and a From Dusk till Dawn side-scrolling 3D on a 2D-plane Metroidvania game.  
     
    Goddamn, why am I not in the games making business? 
     
    [edit] On second thought, fuck yeah From Dusk till Dawn. Co-op Clooney and Tarantino busting up vampires? More Danny Trejo? Sign me up.

    I saw Submarine last week and loved it but I'm sorry to say Jeff that it's a quirky coming of age comedy-drama set in Wales containing absolutely no underwater combat. Its not really video game material but who knows what Boyes can do with a virtual Paddy Considine.
