"The Princess Bride" Game in Development: electro lemon fills his helmet with his African Love Sauce™.
water lymon | 9:59 PM on 10.04.2007 31 comments




Incon-fucking-cievable.
I'm not going to like. I enjoyed the fuck outta this movie. Although it was made before my time, and I'm too young to know of shit like this, (my teacher freaked out today when I made a Soylent Green reference.) but any movie with Fred Savage and his grandfather telling the story of a Zorro look-a-like with a band of pirates will get 7 thumbs up from me. So imagine my excitement when I learn that The 1987 classic was being made into a video game. YEEE!

The Princess Bride, the Rob Reiner-directed 1987 cinematic classic, will undergo a transformation of fairy tale proportions when it appears in video game form next spring. Written by William Goldman, the film starred Cary Elwes (top), Robin Wright Penn (bottom), Andre the Giant, and Mandy Patinkin.

Known as True Love and High Adventure--The Official Princess Bride Game, the title will be an online download according to The Hollywood Reporter. No platforms were listed, though given developer Worldwide Biggies' pedigree, it will most likely be for PC and browser-based. A demo of the game will be packaged with The Princess Bride 20th Anniversary DVD, which is slated to release on November 13.

Past projects by Worldwide Biggies include Star vs. Star, a fantasy league in which players pick which celebrities they think will be in the most headlines per week, and Worldwide Fido, a canine-themed combination of Cute Overload and YouTube.

The Princess Bride marks the latest 1987 cult classic film to get the video game treatment. Earlier this year, Codemasters and SayDesign announced they were working on Dirty Dancing--The Video Game, inspired by Emile Ardolino and Eleanor Bergstein's Oscar-winning 1987 film.


They CANNOT screw this game up. I swear I've seen this movie at least 100 times, and my feelings for the characters alone are extremely emphatic. [You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.] All I know is that they CANNOT fuck this game up. If they're going to do it, they've got to do it perfectly. Adventure themed, too. I will go fucking Inigo Montoya on their asses if they screw this game up.

And yes, I realize its based on a book. I loved the book, but the movie.... WOW. Great fucking film. <3 Rob Reiner.

Wow, this is fucking sweet. This was my favorite movie when I was a kid. It took them long enough though. I always wanted to be able to fight a RUS in a vidya game.

I want to be excited, but I have been burnt on movie games before. Nice find though.

I actually just read the book a few months ago and it's just as funny as the movie, if not more.

In the 30th anniversary of the book, the writer includes the first chapter of the sequel to Princess Bride, It's called Buttercup's Baby and the first chapter is called Fezzik Dies. Goldman (the author) also promises that the sequel will be done by the 35th anniversary (2009) but in Jan of 2007 he said it isn't written and he's having trouble writing it (he's 75 so I'm cutting him some slack.)

Prepare for some browser-based suck.

Although I have absolutely fucking loved this film ever since I was a tyke, I really can't get excited about a browser-based Princess Bride game. I will have to try the demo to make my final judgment, but I'm not very hopeful about it, to be honest.

No, it won't be good.
Wonderful movie, though. Heritage thing, mostly.

Wait, another DVD re-release of the Princess Bride? Isn't this like the fourth time they've done that?

don't rent. Buy everything that comes out no matter how many you already own. The next one might have 30 seconds of never before seen footage added to the end credits or a commentary by the assistant to the assistant directors hair dresser. And if you get really lucky they might just give you a collectors case that won't fit on any shelving unit designed for DVD cases.
So my friends buy buy buy baaa baaaa baaaaa baaa raaaam yeeeww .
