The multi-million dollar production 'Reign of Fire' has had movie audiences abuzz since the release of the movie's trailer in late April. Due in theatres July 12th, the film stars Matthew McConaughey, Christian Bale and Izabella Scorupco as humans struggling for survival against highly evolved dragons which are the dominant species left in a post-apocalyptic England. 'Reign of Fire' is directed by Rob Bowman, director of 'X-Files', the movie.
In the game, players find themselves in the year 2024 where highly evolved dragons are the dominant species left on the planet. Only a few human beings remain including a brave Englishman named Quinn (BALE). Quinn and his followers battle for survival against the creatures and unexpectedly encounter American dragon-slayer Van Zan (MCCONAUGHEY) and his rag-tag squad, who are planning a dangerous crusade to post-apocalyptic London to fight the dragons. As a human, the player takes the role of a resistance fighter defending the last remaining humans from attack and eventually making their way to the site of the ultimate dragon.
London-based studio, Kuju Entertainment is developing Reign of Fire for the PlayStation 2, and the Xbox video game console, while the Game Boy Advance version is being developed by Crawfish Interactive. In addition, BAM Studios Europe is developing the action title for release on the Nintendo GameCube. Games for all four platforms are due for release this fall.
