John Woo and Warren Spector team up on Ninja GoldAccording to a report on Reuters, Action filmmaker John Woo and famed game designer Warren Spector are teaming up on a new project called "Ninja Gold". With both film and game editions planned, the storyline is inspired by real events and deals with a ninja warrior facing modern-day covert warfare. The film will be produced by Fox Atomic, with Mr Woo taking on the role of Director and Producer, while Mr Spector will be heading-up the game's development as Executive Producer. There's no word on who will be publishing the game or which studio is actually developing it, since both Woo and Spector run their own game development companies (Tiger Hill Games and Junction Point Studios respectively). Anyways, here's a nice little snippet from the article:
"The game concept is actually based on facts that the Yakuza and the Russian mob are involved in tons of gold being stolen in South Africa," said Terrence Chang, Woo's production partner. Added Spector: "The idea actually started with John Woo. He wanted to do something involving traditional ninjas in a modern-day setting, and the idea just resonated with me. I was intrigued with the idea of what happens when the traditional and the contemporary come into conflict." Spector said Woo was intimately involved in the creation of the "Ninja" cast of characters, especially the hero. He said Woo's input on the basic situations and thematic underpinnings of the story puts him in a great position to develop the film property without a lot of assistance from the game creators. Sounds very promising! And who doesn't like Ninjas? :D Please head over to our discussion board to talk about this news (registration not required).
