Console SKUs of The Movies Not Dead After All
Posted on February 8th, 2006 by Chris Collette 
In a post on the official Lionhead Studios message forum, Lionhead Community Pet Sam Vantilburgh has revealed that the console SKUs of The Movies, the Hollywood studio management sim designed by Peter Molyneaux and released for the PC last year, have not been cancelled, despite previous reports.
“Activision will not be publishing the console version of The Movies but that does not mean the project is dead,” said Vantilburgh. “I’d like to add that PC sales for 2005 have been dissapointing (especially during Christmas) for everyone in this industry.”
Furthermore, Vantilburgh hinted at a previously-unannounced expansion pack.
“Rest assured that the team at Lionhead Studios are as dedicated to The Movies as they’ve ever been; an expansion pack is currently in development (which will be announced very shortly) and we are continuing to support The Movies Online!”
Despite disappointing sales, The Movies has been a critical success, with an 86% average rating on game review source Game Tab. Neither a release date nor a new publisher for the console ports have been announced.
