300 Director Sparks Deal with EA
Video game publisher Electronic Arts Inc has signed a deal for Hollywood director Zack Snyder, who made the hit 2006 film "300," to help develop video games, some of which may someday become movies themselves.
The agreement, announced on Monday, calls for Snyder, who also directed 2004's "The Dawn of the Dead" and is working on a film adaptation of the "Watchmen" comic book series, to develop three original games for EA.
Financial details of the agreement were not disclosed.
The pact is similar to EA's deal with director and producer Steven Spielberg in 2005, which also called for the creation of three games.
