Electronic Arts Begins Its Hollywood Assault
from the moving-in dept
Two months ago we had an article asking if EA was trying to be the next Disney where we mentioned that they don't look at themselves as a video game company, but as an "entertainment company", and they already have a design studio twice as large as Disney's animation studio. So, it shouldn't be much of a surprise to hear that EA is making a big push into Hollywood. They're setting up shop, hiring new people, and trying to get as many movie tie-in deals as possible. The more established they get in Hollywood, the more I would expect them to go beyond the realm of "just videogames", into actual movie production.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
