"Video games will save Hollywood"

According to Fredrik Malmberg, producer of the new Conan film, video games are an art form that has the potential to save the film industry in Hollywood. "I see a lot of passion in the world of video games, both by those who realize that those who benefit," said Malmberg. "Hollywood is keeping an eye on this world that is increasingly emerging, but hard to understand it entirely," he added.

"I do not think that video games are a threat to the movie business since most of the players is also a big consumer of films." "I worked in both fields, which, though totally different from each other can be perfectly integrated. Why pick one if he can have two?". The new Conan the Barbarian will arrive in theaters this summer and some of the people who worked there have since worked with Funcom to bring their experience in Age of Conan.

The executive producer of the game, Craig Morrison, said he had worked with the team that made the film for the advice and it also introduced to the mechanics of MMO. "I talked about the game with Richard Taylor of Weta Workshop, who told me that the work done by us for Age of Conan has nothing to envy to that of the film ...

and it made me very proud."
