Wes Craven, the Hollywood director responsible for the Scream and Nightmare on Elm Street films, could be getting involved with games development.
Craven told reporter Dean Takahashi - the author of The Xbox 360 Uncloaked - that he was "in talks to create an original game". Unfortunately, the movie man didn't offer any more details than that.
If these talks lead to production, Craven will join a growing list of Hollywood heavyweights getting involved in games development. Peter Jackson had a lot of input with Ubisoft's King Kong, John Woo is contributing to Midway shooter Stranglehold, and Steven Spielberg is working on a project with EA.
While details regarding this possible project remain safely under wraps for now, considering Craven's cinematic efforts have featured such delightful characters as razor-fingered child killers and psychotic high school students, don't expect a mini-kart racing game.
