This.... this could work. Coppola knows how to make a good movie or two, but how well will that translate to making a compelling game? Considering how much the original movie went on to inspire the likes of Metal Gear and Spec Ops: The Line (an unfortunately generically named game that's way better than it should be, and is a better Silent Hill 5 than Silent Hill 5), it'll be interesting to see if this can do a better job than both. If this goes well, can we expect a The Godfather game, or "EA's Coppola's Bram Stoker's Dracula"? I'd be more interested if he went a different direction and made some wholly original stories in the medium. Again though, it remains to be seen how well he can do with the medium in the first place.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
