ACTIVISION GETS SPIELBERG
August 1, 2001

Activision has been awarded the worldwide interactive rights to develop, publish, and distribute interactive games based on Steven Spielberg's upcoming sci-fi film "Minority Report," which is slated for release next summer. The company has signed a five year deal for the license.

"Minority Report" is a futuristic thriller based on a short story by noted sci-fi author Philip K. Dick, who is known for writing the original stories that inspired the "Blade Runner'' and "Total Recall" movies.

"'Minority Report' lends itself well to a wide variety of gameplay elements with intense futuristic storylines and gripping action-packed sequences," states Ron Doornink, President and COO, Activision, Inc. "As a multi-platform publisher, we intend to leverage this property across all of the major gaming systems including the PlayStation2 computer entertainment system, Xbox video game system from Microsoft, Nintendo GameCube, Game Boy Advance and the PC. We are very excited to work with Steven Spielberg, Fox Interactive and DreamWorks Pictures on what is expected to be one of the most anticipated films of 2002."

The movie will star Tom Cruise, Colin Farrell, Max von Sydow, Samantha Morton, and Kathryn Morris.
