Alice? Alice? Who the... EA Knows

"This new project is a dream come true for me and the fans who’ve kept the Alice flame alive," said American McGee, senior creative director at Spicy Horse about his new game. See, we thought those people were Louis Carroll fans.

Apparently, however, the Alice fans in question are those who loved the American McGee's Alice video game. So, Electronic Arts has teamed up with American to announce a new game based on the old RPG.

"American who?" the braver - and younger - among you will ask.

"American McGee, who used to work at id Software on Doom", we'd say.

According to EA's David DeMartini, senior vice president and general manager of EA Partners. "American McGee’s interpretation of Alice was an instant classic, and EA Partners is ready to help him bring his innovative vision for the franchise to even darker, more exciting places."

Now, we're also told - for some reason best known to bean counters - that American's company Spicy Horse "was represented in the deal by CAA (Creative Artists Agency) and Weissman Wolff.

The former is the most famous Hollywood 'talent' agency in Hollywood. The latter is "a full-service law firm".
