Speaking earlier today with James Brightman of GameDaily BIZ, EA Los Angeles VP and General Manager Neil Young let slip some exciting details about the previously-announced deal between EALA and famed director Steven Spielberg. The full interview goes up next week, but we have a quick excerpt here. ::rough transcript follows, full interview next week on GameDaily BIZ:: Neil Young: ...there's also the Steven Spielberg projects we're working on. We have things we haven't really talked about but are, uh, they have a broad appeal in their nature. GameDaily BIZ: We met with you back at E3 to talk about Spielberg and the projects, but is there anything we can talk about, any more details that have developed since the projects were first announced? Neil Young: I can't really share any game details, but recall our original announcements was for three projects. Well, two of those are underway right now in the studio. The first one, what I can tell you is what you'd expect, sort of, from a Steven Spielberg production. Steven's stories are intimate stories that take place around huge, world-changing events... sort of, big stories shown through the eyes of a small group. Doug Church is producing it... The second project is something Lou Castle is producing, one of the great producers in this industry, and that's one of the products we're building for the Wii. Very exciting and interesting... Steven's in the studio once a week, usually from one to four hours, stops by 8:30 and leaves midday and spends a good amount of time with us. It's a very close, collaborative relationship... it's wonderful... he's a wonderful guy, incredibly creative... it's a learning experience working with Steven...
