TPA licensing agreement with Sony Pictures

[superballs]

Never really heard of it before, just watched the promo video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2dI5yGE2pPk)

Looks interesting. Keanus all over the machine and playfield though, does that make it less likely?

I remember doing a google search on whether or not Keanu Reeves was really an idiot or not.

A lot of people in Hollywood and in the media in general actually really like being around him, he's actually quite intelligent and surprisingly down to earth (according to statements by these people). Maybe he might just be reasonable about it.

I never got the "He's an idiot because of how he talks" thing? I mean, I can name about 50 people in Hollywood that are more idiotic, just based on the crap they say.

I think "Starship Troopers" will make a surprise appearance. Just a hunch.

Would you like to know more?

(Sorry, I couldn't resist!)

If you listen to the latest Blahcade podcast - (and you should! ) one of the things Bobby King from Farsight Studios talks about is a bulk licensing deal with Sony Pictures. He doesn't give out table details, but here is a list of Sony Pictures & related properties to get you thinking:

• Krull
• Starship Troopers
• Last Action Hero
• Godzilla
• Goldeneye
• Mary Shelley ' s Frankenstein
• Johnny Mnemonic
• Spiderman

Think about those & smile ...

This probably explains the reason Farsight was able to do Bram Stoker's Dracula without a Kickstarter.

So, he indicated in the podcast a new TPA original table based on a Sony property. Let' s guess and maybe a poll could be created.

I have one dream .... Ghostbusters 30th Anniversary table (Columbia pictures and now owned by Sony) please!!!!

Just to add some gasoline to the GHOSTBUSTERS speculation flames...

A Ghostbusters 30th Anniversary table ?
A great great great idea.

 

[Dutch Pinball ball]

Hmmm..... ACDC.....

 

[Lord Boron]

Hmmm..... ACDC.....

AC/DC's songs are spread out among about 8 different labels, so I don't see that happening anytime soon.

 

[mystman12]

Doesn't Sony own Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs? That's the only thing I can think of, but it seems like it would make for a great pinball theme anyways.

However... as the current owner of RCA, Sony *does* own all of Elvis Presley's songs.

So... assuming the agreement extends to the music division (maybe, maybe not)... add the Stern Elvis table as well as a possibility. Hmm.

Cue Ray Parker Jr. and Raydio!!!

Seriously, once the SAM emulation comes along, another popular Sony property could come to TPA - Wheel of Fortune!

I'm not holding my breath.

Hey, that Ghostbusters table has skill levels. Why don't we have that for TPA?

 

[EldarOfSuburbia]

It also has English. Possibly Real English, depending on how you read it.

It would be cool to get a music themed pin up in here. I know a bowling alley with a Stern Elvis. It's a fun player.

That's a good feature. Unless everyone speaks with an English accent which would just be confusing. Seriously the orginal table has a lot of possibility and Ghostbusters would be the ideal license to run with if they can. Would have been great for Pinball2k but some of the things Jersey Jack is doing on Wizard of Oz gives me hope for a ghostbusters table to have some really awesome features (The crystal ball would be great for projecting ghosts).

So so far we got these Sony IP tables that already exist

Independance day
Last Action hero
Mary Shelley Frankenstein
Johnny Mnemonic
Close Encounters
Godzilla
Robocop
Starship Troopers
Goldeneye
Hook


Which is a pretty great list, anyone know of any more?



Here's a bunch that could work for the Orginal table

Bad boys
Leon The proffesional
Men in Black
Underworld
Ghostbusters
Desperado
Fifth element
Resident Evil
Cloudy With a chance of meatballs


These last 2 are just movies I like that would probably never become a pinball machine.

Groundhog day
Bicentenial man

I think we can scratch Goldeneye. James Bond is going to be on a level with Disney as far as getting anything going goes. Nonetheless, a Bond pin would be awesome.

Ghostbusters, now that, is something I'd gladly pay for.
