JCal with the keen eye noticed this bit over at Hollywood Reporter which says Nocturne from Terminal Reality is the latest game to be picked up by Hollywood slated to be turned in to a movie.

With a Hollywood film in the works, Terminal Reality plans to take its horror franchise to such next-generation console systems as Xbox, PlayStation 2 and Gamecube. "The new console games based on 'Nocturne' won't necessarily focus on the movie directly but will incorporate elements and characters from the film," Haworth said. "Since PC and console game players are a different audience, we plan on reinventing the franchise with the console games

People still watch horror movies?

Downloading this right now but word is it's really damn good looking. AVault has managed to score the first ever video footage of the new Terminal Reality engine in action. Here's what they are saying:

Terminal Reality has allowed the Adrenaline Vault to premiere this first exclusive glimpse at the new engine in motion. There are no screenshots on this page because it is very hard to see the new dynamic lighting and shadowing algorithms in a still image -- especially considering the scenes in this trailer contain up to 60-thousand polygons per frame. In addition the AVI must be downloaded and unzipped first rather than streamed because technology such as this deserves to be seen in its full capacity.

In addition to the footage AVault also has a Q&A with Terminal Reality programmer Mark Randel about this new engine.

GameSpy has an interesting interview with Mark Randel, one of the programmers behind the Nocturne engine that was used most recently in the Blair Witch games.

Where Did They Go Wrong With Nocturne? is an article on 3D Action Planet where Kazi Wren takes a look back at Terminal Reality's adventure game Nocturne and why it didn't turn out to be a success despite it's spooky setting and state of the art engine, and why certain people called it Adventure game of the year while it was turd of the year for others.

If you're a Nocturne fan then you should enjoy the alternate endings and new version of the Nocturne editor that Spookhouse has scored from TRI. Also, the guys at Spookhouse are offering up an interview with Mike Porter of TRI .

An interview on Machinima.com with Jeff Mills of TRI asks about Nocturne and their future project based on the Blair Witch movie utilizing the same (modified) technology. Thanks JayZee

Spookhouse has the Nocturne mission editor up for download so you can create your own.

The WallStreetReporter interviews Mike Wilson of Gathering of Developers. It's an audio interview so you need that Real player thingie.

The spooky guys and gals at Spookhouse have an interview with Kyle Richards and Mary Beth Brooks who both worked on Nocturne.

The CGO guys have finally returned from that partying in New Orleans to write-up their impressions of a few Gathering titles including of course Nocturne.

The AVault folks also have an interview with Mark Randell of Terminal Reality talking about Nocturne, including the recently announced Blair Witch stuff.

I dug up the official press release for the Blair Witch game that Gathering of Developers will be publishing. TRI will indeed be developing the title.

Spookhouse has some clarification on TRI's involvement with the Blair Witch Project games from G.O.D. They will only be making a Nocturne mission pack which includes a BWP related mission. This will not be Nocturne II. Oh yeah, and the mission is based on the mythology, not 3 kids running through a forest :)

Voodoo Extreme has an interview with Terminal Reality's Jeff Mills and Jeff Smith, talking about their horror game Nocturne that was just released.

GameSpy talks with Mark Randel about Nocturne

There's an interview with Terminal Reality's Jeff Mills on Gamespy, talking about their just gone-gold title Nocturne, which should be hitting shelves around Halloween.

Also on AVault is the chat log of the Nocturne chat they held last night with TRI.

The Spookhouse guys have scored yet another Nocturne demo. The new demo is a revised version of the original 1st demo but even a larger download! Cuz we know you modem guys were all quite pissed off that the last demo wasnt over 100 megs. Well here's a treat kids, 127megs! Yeah!

The second Nocturne demo has been released over at the Nocturne home page. Supposedly this new demo should give you guys less problems on 3dfx hardware. The first step would of course be to actually work. Thanks Spookhouse

According to the guys over at GoneGold it seems that Nocturne from Gathering has in fact done just that, gone gold. Of course the followup today is that there is confirmation over at the TRI page.
