Filmen skal kunne spilles is an interesting article in Danish newspaper Berlingske Tidende about the symbiotic relationship between film and games. The journalist has done quite a bit of research in the field and the piece includes an interesting interview with a producer from Electronic Arts.

Actually, the journalist's research also included a lengthyish phone interview with me, and I'm quite sure that at least one of the examples mentioned in the article comes from me as well as an indirect pointer to a featured colleague. But I'm not mentioned, and I'm pretty convinced it is because I refused to come up with a juicy tidbit in favour of the "bad" influence of games on film. The journalist also outright refused to let me see a draft of the article, (even if he had quoted me). And gave me a date of publication which was 3 weeks ahead of the real publication date. Oh, well. Yet another lesson learned regarding how to handle the press.
