PR Newswire (US)
SAUSALITO, Calif., Oct. 18 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Red Mile
Entertainment, Inc. (OTC:RDML) (BULLETIN BOARD: RDML) , a worldwide
developer and publisher of interactive entertainment software,
today announced it has engaged acclaimed video-game industry
writing and production talent to participate in the development of
Red Mile's upcoming game based on multi-award-winning
creator/writer/artist Frank Miller's Sin City graphic novels and
comic books. Accomplished game and animation veteran, Flint Dille,
will spearhead the design, scriptwriting, story generation, and
overall production of "Sin City: The Game" (working title). Dille
has twenty years of game experience to his name, and has twice won
"Story of the Year" for his work on The Chronicles of Riddick:
Escape from Butcher Bay and on Dead to Rights. In addition to his
solid game and animation credentials, Dille is also a close friend
of Sin City creator, Frank Miller -- enough so that Miller named
the storyteller in his epic 300 "Dilios." "Frank and I met during
what I call our 'professional adolescence' when he was doing the
Dark Knight and I was doing the Transformers cartoon series," says
Dille, "and we've been great friends ever since." About the Sin
City game, Dille adds, "Frank and I have been having a party coming
up with nasty stuff for the game. In true Sin City fashion, some
old characters will return, new characters will appear and --
without giving anything away -- probably die horribly. It's great
to be working with the Red Mile team on this project: They clearly
share Frank's and my commitment to bringing a new and true Sin City
to interactive life." Also participating in the game's development
is Union Entertainment. Union's video-game producer credits include
The Red Star and this year's breakout hit, The Darkness. Union
generated the original Sin City concept document that first got
Miller interested in adapting Sin City as a video game, and was
central to setting up the Sin City project with Red Mile. "Sin City
is one of a select few properties that everyone agrees is ideal for
video games," said Union President, Richard Leibowitz, "and we're
very proud to help make that happen." "Flint and Union bring a deep
and broad array of video game experience to Sin City and they'll be
integral to Red Mile's creating a video game experience that
delivers on gamers' and fans' expectations," said Chester Aldridge,
CEO of Red Mile Entertainment. About Red Mile Entertainment, Inc.

success. To date, Miller has written and illustrated seven Sin City
