James Cameron's Project 880 MMORPG to precede the movie

by James Ransom-Wiley { Feb 3rd 2006 at 3:00PM }

James Cameron's Project 880 is not a movie based on a game, but rather, a movie with a game tie-in that will launch before the movie. You dig? The idea is to get consumers hooked on Project 880's "completely crazy, balls-out sci-fi" universe using an MMORPG title, and then, before the excitement dies down, release a film that will give fans a story to relate to. But with Cameron still busy writing the screenplay, Project 880 is still years from fruition.

Yeah, cool. And we all know how these schedules always work out! Tron 2.0 for instance. Could be interesting, but a movie has a story arc, and a MMORPG needs to be interesting on a day-to-day basis - I wonder if Cameron and his team can pull it off. If the Matrix game had come out before the film, a lot of people might have let it pass without seeing it until it hit cable.

I'm thinking we might have a better chance of seeing Vinnie Chase in "Aquaman."
