Seattle – Microsoft Corp. said Wednesday it is teaming with “Lord of the Rings” director Peter Jackson to create content for Xbox 360, partly to get more mainstream users interested.
The interactive entertainment could include deeper plot lines and more interactive drama, or delivering additional content over time, said Shane Kim, a corporate vice president in charge of Microsoft Game Studios.
Jackson plans to work with Bungie Studios to create one product based on Microsoft’s “Halo” game, Kim said. Screenwriter Fran Walsh, Jackson’s wife, also is on board.
