Glu Mobile Inc. (Nasdaq:GLUU), a leading global publisher of mobile
games, today announced that it will be publishing a mobile game based on
the forthcoming Warner Bros. Pictures super hero film Watchmen. The
game will launch worldwide in conjunction with the film’s U.S. premiere
in March 2009. Watchmen, based on the most celebrated
graphic novel of all-time published by DC Comics, is a thrilling
mystery-adventure set in an alternate 1985 America where heroes roam as
members of society.
“We are excited to continue our relationship with Warner Bros. to create
the mobile game based on this highly anticipated film,” said Jill Braff,
senior vice president of global publishing, Glu Mobile. “Like the film,
the mobile game will engage long-time fans of the novel, as well as
those who are getting to know Watchmen for the first time.”
Today’s announcement marks the fifth title Glu will develop and publish
through its licensing agreement with Warner Bros. Digital Distribution.
Other titles developed with WBDD include Speed Racer, The Dark
Knight, Superman/Batman: Heroes United and Bugs Bunny: Rabbit
Rescue.
Watchmen is known for its unconventional take on the lives of
super heroes, depicting them as real people, confronting the trials and
tribulations of everyday human life. The film is being directed by Zack
Snyder who was behind the success of the box office hit 300. The
cast includes such stars as Billy Crudup as Dr. Manhattan,
Jeffrey Dean Morgan as The Comedian and Matthew Goode in the role
of Ozymandias. Other Watchmen are played by Malin
Ackerman, Carla Gugino, Jackie Earle Haley and Patrick Wilson.
Watchmen: The Mobile Game will be supported by a suite of
personalization content which will be available to consumers in early
2009. For more information, visit www.glu.com.
