The Movies Expansion Announced

by Maarten Goldstein Mar 15, 2006 11:45am CST tags: Activision, The Movies
Though development was already revealed a few weeks ago (story), Activision today officially announced Stunts & Effects, an expansion pack for Lionhead's The Movies. Due out this spring, the expansion pack will add stuntmen, new movie making features, new visual effects and more.
The Movies: Stunts & Effects allows players to hone their movie making skills with features that can turn an ordinary script into an extraordinary blockbuster. In addition to stunts and effects, the game introduces new backdrops, costumes and props, as well as upgrades to the Advanced Movie Making mode that lets players take control of even more movie features. Players are further immersed into the Hollywood lifestyle as they train and manage stuntmen, as well as compete for industry awards and achievements by uploading their movies to www.themoviesgame.com for the entire world to see.

Several screenshots can be found here.
