Inspired by Peter Molyneux’s “The Movies”, take a seat in the Director’s chair and work some movie magic where you control everything from the final cut to the marketing posters.

In Moviehouse players will take the “leading role” behind the scenes of a budding Hollywood-inspired production house that gets its start in the 1980s golden era. Hire talents, write scripts and shoot award-winning films, all the while balancing the whims of the fans and critics through the decades!

Set in the 80s and spanning through the decades to the current day, players start with a small yet passionate film crew with rudimentary equipment who have one goal: grow the studio into one of the best in the industry and keep it that way for years to come. With an eye for entertainment, pick from a dozen different and popular film genres and plot the perfect, award-winning storyline. Inspired by the cult classic The Movies by Peter Molyneux, strike the perfect balance between arthouse and Hollywood pop culture to create a true blockbuster cult classic that will leave the critics begging for more.

Lights, cameras, action!
