Mel Gibson... clearing Scotland for the Pope!
Paramount Digital Entertainment has got Artificial Life, a Hong Kong-based developer, to bring Braveheart and more its more recent film, Shooter, to the mobile... phone that is.
Both, as you'd expect, will be shooters. Both will also feature 3D graphics and be available early next year.
"Artificial Life's ability to bring alive the compelling characters and storylines from these two hit titles will help our fans and gamers experience a thrilling interactive play", uttered the VP for Paramount Digital in Asia-Pacific, Pradeep Mittur. "The games will feature unique gaming engines, swift character movements and advanced gaming physics that challenge the players."
Artificial Life, if you've never come across it ('it' being the developer), has worked on titles based on the likes of Big Brother and America's Next Top Model.
Sure, sure... lots of PR and marketing blah from Mr Mittur. What we're interested in, however, is the usually berated and mocked notion of mobile gaming in itself. The distinctions between what is a mobile phone, a portable gaming device, a SatNav brick (you can keep naming them) are blurring like an image of certainty taken at high-speed.
Do you admit to what - in the 'real gamer' religion - is the filthy, dirty, sinful habit of mobile game playing? Bring your confession to the Forum. Are you are fundamentalist gamer who would prefer to burn in a new circle of hell rather than mobile gaming? Bring your good news to the Forum as well.
