Australia-based PlaySide Studios has announced an agreement with Metro Goldwyn Mayer Studios to develop mobile games based on the classic Reese Witherspoon comedy Legal blonde.
The game will be played for free on iOS and Android mobile devices worldwide.
This brand new game will combine puzzles and choice-based narrative mechanisms as well as the “giving themes and positive messages” of the Legally Blonde movie, and enable players to live out their own Legally Blonde stories.
The news of the mobile game coincides with the news of Mindy Kaling (The Offcie) and Dan Goor (The Daily Show), who jointly wrote the script for Legally Blonde 3, which will enable Reese Witherspoon to replay the role of Elle Woods in 2022.
Gerry Sakkas, CEO of PlaySide, said: “This is a historic moment for PlaySide. Since the establishment of the company, I have always wanted to obtain licenses from major Hollywood brands to develop mobile games. I can’t think of a better partner for MGM, MGM. It is an iconic Hollywood film studio with 90 years of top film history. This is indeed an exciting time for PlaySide.”
Robert Marick, Executive Vice President of Global Consumer Products and Experience at MGM, said: “Legal Blonde is one of those iconic and inspiring brands that continue to attract a new generation of fans around the world. We are very happy to work with PlaySide. Studios collaborated to bring these groundbreaking films to mobile devices and provide consumers with a new way to interact with one of our most cherished characters, Elle Woods.”
