President of Activision Blizzard Film Studio appointed producer, who worked with Tarantino

Activision Blizzard , which founded its own film and television studio last year , made one of the presidents of the company a famous Hollywood producer Stacey Sher. Cher worked with such directors as Stephen Soderberg, Oliver Stone and Quentin Tarantino (with the last one - on his hits Pulp Fiction and Django Unchained).

Adaptation of computer games in Hollywood very often happened unsuccessfully, and the company, which owns dozens of gaming hit projects, decided to take things in hand. Instead of selling film rights to film studios and watching how they spoil a good product, AB film and television studios will be engaged in shooting films on their own.

True, the film adaptation of World of Warcraft, a franchise owned by AB, which is filmed at the studio Legendary Pictures, still looks pretty good.



The company's second president is Nick van Dyk, the former CEO of Disney. He was optimistic about the opening prospects for the company, which, he said, “has a unique advantage in having a world-class library of intellectual assets, including the largest franchises that have not yet reached the cinema and television screens.”

The studio is already planning to shoot the series on the children's game Skylanders, and several films based on the super popular Call of Duty franchise.

Activision merged with the Vivendi Games group of companies, which included such famous studios as Sierra Entertainment and Blizzard Entertainment in 2008. The president of the united company was the former president of Activision, Robert Kotik.
