| Mr Khan said: Do we want to attract people from the film industry? |
The film industry has one resource the games industry generally lacks, and that's good writers. The games industry has great designers, programmers, there are tonnes of skilled visual artists and access to good actors usually(who often seem like poor actors due to poor writing). But excellent writers are few and far between.
It may simply be that writing for a film is a different skill than writing for a game, due to the writer not having the same control over context etc., but I'm more inclined to believe that games designers more often feel that they are good writers themselves when really they should be hiring proffesionals.
A game I'm developing with some friends:

It is largely a technical exercise but feedback is appreciated.
