WirelessDevNet.com Press Release
Mobile Scope Licenses I, Robot™ for Mobile Entertainment
Meerbusch, Germany - April 27 2004 - Wireless entertainment publisher Mobile
Scope and Twentieth Century Fox today announced a global agreement granting
Mobile Scope rights to develop and distribute entertainment products for
mobile devices based on the I, Robot™ feature film starring Will Smith and
scheduled for release this Summer. The company plans to unveil a suite of
products in time for the film’s release. Financial terms were not disclosed.
The content would include images, tones and at least one game.
Based on a series of short stories by Isaac Asimov and directed by Alex
Proyas (The Crow), I, Robot is a detective thriller set in a futuristic
world in which robots are governed by three laws: 1) A robot may not injure
a human being, or through inaction allow a human being to come to harm, 2) A
robot must obey the orders of a human being, unless those orders conflict
with the First Law, and 3) A robot must protect its own existence, but only
if that protection does not conflict with the First or Second Laws.
“With action-packed scenes, stunning effects and suspenseful storyline, I,
ROBOT is a great property for wireless content.” said Jim Beddows, vice
president of wireless entertainment for Twentieth Century Fox Licensing &
Merchandising Division. “Mobile Scope has already done a great job
translating previous Fox theatrical releases, such as Ice Age, to mobile
phones, and we anticipate that Mobile Scope will create top-selling content
for I, Robot.”
"We’re thrilled to be working on a highly anticipated property like I,
Robot," said Juergen Goeldner, CEO of Mobile Scope AG. "The futuristic theme
of the film goes hand-in-hand with the cutting-edge technology of mobile
entertainment and it opens up a lot of exciting possibilities for games."
