Bruckheimer to Produce Videogames for MTV – Part of $500 Million Viacom Push

Beverly Hills Cop may be a bit too old for some of our readers to remember; maybe a more recent film like Pirates of the Caribbean would be better suited for our introduction. Well, the individual responsible for producing both of those films, Jerry Bruckheimer, is set to venture out into the world of video gaming.

MTV and Bruckheimer have joined forces setting up a gaming lab at MTV headquarters, as a part of a larger $500 million interactive initiative set into motion by parent company Viacom.

“It’s pretty exciting what’s going on in that arena,” Bruckheimer told the Associated Press.

Bruckheimer has yet to name names in terms of what exactly he will be working on, but he does drop a few hints by stating that the games will be in line with the work he has already produced for TV and Film.

Ironically enough, the loop comes full circle as Bruckheimer is also hard at work producing a Prince of Persia movie based on the popular video game.
