Knocking up Ellen Page to become a game

JUST when you thought that the game industry was running out of ideas and there were only so many orphans that could be rescued from destroyed villages, it seems that a new game is being released based on the dire flick Juno.

Yep, it seems there will finally be a video game based around getting Ellen Page up the duff.

According to Gamespot there are indications that the independent film about a preggers teen, played by Ellen Page, will be getting the game treatment.

Quite how this film would translate into a game is unknown. The movie, although popular, ended up re-enforcing the status quo without tackling any of the main issues related to teen pregnacy. So maybe a fun game might be the way forward.

Fox Searchlight Pictures, the studio behind Juno has been chatting to executives in the games industry. Former Eidos Interactive president and current intellectual-property migration specialist Keith Boesky made comments which GameSpot interpreted as indicating that a casual game based on the film is in development.

He added that he had not seen the film which might explain his enthusiasm.

Others in the dark satanic rumour mill that is the world wide wibble are fairly sure that something is happening.

The rumour is that Crave Entertainment and 7 Studios have been hired and 7 Studios is advertising for developers of a "portable puzzle based game," a " next generation third person action/adventure original IP," and a "third person action fighting game based on a movie/comic licence."

We can safely assume that it is not the third person fighting game. More shoot it up, rather than shoot 'em up we imagine. µ
