Hunch-backed scientist
The right to publish a videogame based on the 2008 computer animated movie 'Igor' has been won by the Interactive Game Group And Legacy Interactive, who will be developing the title and releasing it in North America exclusively for Nintendo DS, Wii and PC.Despite movie tie-ins being a big business for the videogames industry, the title is still waiting for a European publisher to jump on board.
The film version of "Igor" is a playfully irreverent comedy that plans brings a new twist to the classic monster genre. In a world filled with mad scientists and evil inventions, one talented evil scientist's hunch-backed lab assistant has big dreams of becoming a Mad Scientist himself and winning the annual Evil Science Fair. The voice cast includes Steve Buscemi, John Cleese, Jennifer Coolidge, John Cusack, Arsenio Hall, Sean Hayes, Eddie Izzard, Jay Leno, Molly Shannon, and Christian Slater.
Igor is set to hit US cinemas in October 2008, so expect the game to hit stores around the same time.
