Cate Sevilla at Dolly Mix was a little taken aback by news that one of her favourite films is making it to a Wii near you...
Now, it's no secret that I l-o-v-e the movie Juno, its screenwriter and its stars, but this is just too much.
Apparently during a panel at the D.I.C.E. Summit in Las Vegas, an "intellectual-property migration specialist" (whatever the hell that is) Keith Boesky said that: "People are making a game based on Juno just to cater to the [casual] market." I don't know if you've seen Juno or not, but just looking at the movie poster, what could you possibly make a video game out of? While there is absolutely no information out there on what the game could be about, I'm just going to make something up.
-A Wii game in which you help Juno chug as many bottles of Sunny Delight as she can whilst dodging trying not to get run over by Michael Cera and his track team.
-A Dance Dance Revolution game where you help a pregnant Juno create a dance routine to an array of Mouldy Peaches songs.
-An "Animal Crossing" type game for your pink DS LIte where you can choose which dialoge would be best for Juno to tell her parents she's pregnant. For example, you chose something like: "Dudes, like, I totally just got sperminated by my homie Bleeker. For realizies." Or you choose something more eloquent like, "I've gotten myself impregnated by the likes of my best friend Polly Bleaker. But not to worry, I'm giving it up for adoption to a lovely couple I found in the Penny Saver."
We wonder what WiiWii will think of this...
I hope it's the more obvious aim of 'GET JUNO PREGGERS!'
Maybe the game will be like Pacman, but instead it'll be Bleeker having to eat Orange tic-tacs... and then the next level will be the pregnant Juno trying to navigate tight corners.
Everybody, chill out!
Actually, it isn't as bad as I first thought, now that I (a guy) think about it:
Juno would make a great high-school orientated RPG, with the plot being the choices you (the player) would make in how far Juno carries her relationship with her boyfriend Paulie, and if that turns into a pregnancy. If it does, . The only difference is how you, the player, carry out the rest of the story (this is a RPG, after all!)
As much as I hate to admit it, the video game industry needs new blood in the form of real world plots, and Juno might just be the way to get more people to play video games, including the women and men who saw Juno.
LOL, draconisaqueous. That would be the best game of all time.
