Six years, three arrests and three rehab stints after Lindsay Lohan starred in Mean Girls, its video game adaptation is being released. Without LiLo on the box. This, folks, is what the suits call “leveraging a hot property”. More »
The announcement that Legacy Interactive and Paramount would be collaborating on games based on female-led films Mean Girls, Clueless and Pretty In Pink left us… dismayed? Don’t get me wrong, I loved both Clueless and Pretty In Pink (shut up) — they’re fine films. But after the thing that was The Princess Bride video game, it’s hard to dislodge this chip forming a groove in our shoulders.
Seriously. If you remember, back in March Paramount movie studios announced they were getting into the gaming business. Today, they’ve announced their first three titles. To be developed in conjunction with Legacy Interactive, the first three games (all adaptations of films, obviously) will be…yes, Mean Girls, Clueless and Pretty in Pink. No word on target platforms or anything of the sort, but Legacy are in the business of cheap, disposable/casual titles, so anyone hoping for a sprawling, 100+ hour adventure based on the busy social life of Cher Horowitz will most likely be sorely disappointed.
