A recent documentary about indie games might become an HBO TV Series and we take a look at the upcoming Doctor Who game.

SHOW NOTES:

Story 1:   

So there is a documentary about indie gaming that just premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, and now a major Hollywood producer is looking to turn it into a TV series.

Indie Game: The Movie from Lisanne Pajot and James Swirsky, has been optioned by producer Scott Rudin to be developed into a half hour fictional series. The documentary follows the developers of the games Fez, Braid, and Super Meat Boy as they struggle to make their games, which could translate well to a dramatic series.

Rudin, who is the high profile producer behind the recent David Fincher films The Social Network and The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, plans to bring the series to HBO.

Story 2:  

Back in December, we reported of an upcoming game based on the Doctor Who television series, and now we have our first look at the game.

Doctor Who: The Eternity Clock will feature the 11th Doctor along with fan favorite River Song as they once again try to save the universe. The game looks to have third person side scrolling gameplay, and according to the new trailer we now know what enemies The Doctor and River will be facing.

The game will feature classic villains such as the Cybermen, Silurians and the Daleks, as well as more recent enemies The Silence.

The game drops in March for the PS3 and the Vita. If you’re a Doctor Who fan, grab your Sonic Screwdriver and head for the TARDIS.
