Jerry Bruckheimer - Image 1Good news for fans of Jerry Bruckheimer's films: MTV Games has managed to strike a deal with the internationally renowned film and television producer to create new, original games.

So why strike a deal with someone who didn't have previous experience in making games (with the exception of Bruckheimer helming the Prince of Persia movie project)? According to Jeff Yapp, MTV's Executive Vice President of Program Enterprises, he didn't care about Bruckheimer's level of video game knowledge. Yapp explained:

What I wanted was his ability to tell a story that uniquely connects to an audience and now to give him a new set of tools, which is the interactive set of tools that he has not had the opportunity to play with yet.


While the exclusive deal is already agreed upon, there are currently no available details as to what kind of games Bruckheimer has in mind. When asked what kind of games he will produce with MTV Games, Bruckheimer's response was, "I couldn’t tell you until we get a team together. The gestation period is like movies. It takes a while."
