THQ Executive VP of Core Games Danny Bilson stopped by our red carpet post at the VGAs this weekend with director Guillermo del Toro in tow, and Bilson talked with us about all of THQ’s upcoming properties, including the quickly ensuing Red Faction movie on SyFy. “They’re prepping right now,” he promised, “And there’s another one coming that we’re going to announce soon.” Would that be the elusive Saint’s Row 3? “I can’t talk about it or they’ll cut my head off,” he said. “But we’re going to be talking about it at some point in the future in a big way.”
For his part, Guillermo del Toro decided to work with THQ on the newly revealed inSane because he believes that gaming “is one of the most immersive mediums for storytelling right now.” We asked him to tick off a few specifics, and he dutifully did. “Left 4 Dead has passages that are incredibly scary. Silent Hill is great, and Shadow of the Colossus was incredibly moving. There are Call of Duty moments that are better than any war movie.”
Bilson interrupted at that one. “Wait until they ride the bus in the first level of Homefront!” As for del Toro’s inSane, Bilson says, “we’re only focusing on the game right now, and whatever happens later happens later. But we’re building an incredible world together that we will be talking about more later on.” We’ll look forward to it.
