“There’s not been convergence, [between video games and films] thus far. There will be. When it happens it will be dynamite” says director, Steven Spielberg in this Reuters interview. Concerned with the lack of games available for his family, Spielberg made his own; Boom Blox, for the Wii.

Given his film background, the question inevitably raised was his opinion on the progressively blurred line between cinema and gaming, but Spielberg doesn’t think we’re there just yet. It’s ironic though; the Medal of Honor franchise, famous for its cinematic look and feel, was originally created by his former games company, Dreamworks Interactive before being sold to Electronic Arts. George Lucas is another big name Hollywood director who’s studio, LucasArts is noted for creating games like Monkey Island or Day of the Tentacle that users watch like a movie as much as play like a game.

If George and Steven weren’t already buddies, I’d say someone needed to hook them up.
