Rumor has it SCi-Eidos, which made the widely popular Tomb Raider game franchise that eventually became a movie franchise, is doing it the other way around. The netvine was buzzing about a not-so secret meeting between the game developer and Time Warner. The agenda: produce a series of games based on New Line Cinema properties. According to Financial Times, the deal could see Time Warner acquiring a 10 per cent stake in SCi-Eidos.


If the rumor is true, Sci-Eidos will have a great variety of material  to turn into video games. There's "Austin Power", "Snakes on a Plane", and the classic "Nightmare on Elm Street". We would love to see the sexy British beast team up with Lady Lara!


A spokesperson for SCi-Eidos issued a statement saying "Eidos does not comment on speculation or rumour."

Anybody remember The NoES where Freddy has the PowerGlove?



Anyways, an interactive NoES game would be pretty sweet. Kind of Silent Hill-ish.
