G-Force: Let the Game Begin

Matt has been contracted to write the videogame based on 2009’s CG/live action film, G-Force -- coming from Walt Disney Pictures and Jerry Bruckheimer. Starring Will Ferrell, Nicolas Cage, Tracy Morgan, Penelope Cruz and Paul Giamatti, G-Force will star some amazing animated guinea pigs who take on missions that seem, well, impossible. Being developed with Eurocom, G-Force will feature unique gameplay and visuals that, for now, must be kept well under wraps.
