Gambling marketing rights outfit Skyrocket Entertainment has burnished its portfolio of Hollywood films via a new deal with Millennium Media.
On Wednesday, the Hollywood Reporter broke the story that Skyrocket had reached a deal with Millennium to market film-branded content to international online gambling operators (in regulated markets) for use in slots, bingo and instant win lottery products.
Millennium’s film vault includes such blockbusters as The Expendables and the Fallen franchise, Rambo 4, several Jason Statham vehicles (including The Mechanic), as well as the Hellboy reboot currently in cinemas around the world. The company has also produced more arty fare, including The Paperboy, Loving Pablo and the porn biopic Lovelace. Frankly, we’re really keen to see what types of game fare might emerge from that last one.
Skyrocket will oversee game-building, certification and distribution of products based on these titles. Production is expected to begin next month and the finished products will begin appearing on your friendly neighborhood gambling site sometime next year.
