Californias governor-elect Arnold Schwarzenegger makes his first-ever videogame appearance in Ataris TERMINATOR 3: RISE OF THE MACHINES for the next-generation game consoles released on Nov. 11, 2003 in collaboration with Intermedia, IMF, C2 Pictures and Columbia TriStar International. The videogame includes an exclusive Making Of The Video Game documentary containing footage of, and interviews with, Schwarzenegger and the entire cast, as well as a behind-the-scenes look at the making of a Hollywood videogame.
TERMINATOR 3: RISE OF THE MACHINES DVD, released by Warner Bros. Home Video in North America and by Columbia TriStar Home Entertainment internationally, also features this behind-the-scenes material. As an added bonus, the DVD will also feature trailers for the movie and Ataris PC game, TERMINATOR 3: RISE OF THE MACHINES, to be released in December 2003.
TERMINATOR 3: RISE OF THE MACHINES is another example of how Atari is changing the way people look at Hollywood entertainment properties and specifically how they translate to the interactive medium, said Steve Allison, vp of marketing, Ataris Los Angeles studio. Our increasingly collaborative relationships with studios, talent and producers, such as C2 and Intermedia, are delivering richer, deeper and more enjoyable gaming experiences than anyone has ever seen before.
It also features never-before-scene film footage created exclusively for the videogame. The five-minute segment featuring Schwarzenegger sheds new light on the mythology behind the origins of the Terminator. In addition, footage from the feature film is also used throughout the game to set up key situations and story-related game elements.
