TPA licensing agreement with Sony Pictures

[shutyertrap]

I have that Esposito song in a workout mix of songs. I put it with a whole bunch of other 80's montage type tunes. It's rad.

IJ is Lucasfilm. Lucasfilm is owned entirely by Disney. The Mouse plays serious hardball.

Rats.

Isn't Zen already providing original content? I would prefer to see FS stick to recreations. There are still a lot of great tables that could be made. In addition, FS seems to be stretched way to thin as it is when it comes to projects. I would like to see some progress on the already mentioned projects before going this route...YMMV

 

[Pete]

Thats a pretty awesome work out mix!

 

[Kratos3]

Why is IJ 'unlicenseable'?

Expensive.

 

[Bowflex]

Thats a pretty awesome work out mix!

Yeah, no kidding! Nothing from Over the Top but that wasn't the best soundtrack, at least not to pull workout songs. I think "Far From Over" by Sly's bro Frank needs to be on Workout Mix 3. Especially if you ever get into Synchronized swimming.

This. Is. The. Best. Workout. Mix. Ever.

Almost. I guess I should say, best idea for a workout mix ever. I can't believe I didn't think of this. The one song I have to add is "Thunder in Your Heart" from Rad(underrated movie BTW). Also, there's no way I could have any Team America songs in there. Way, way too funny.

 

[The Night Flier]

Enough said.

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 ...

You forgot Data East's Hook, which looks kinda good.

 

[Espy]

What about the actor likeness fees, though? I don't think Sony will pay those for Farsight. Could be wrong, though.

When FarSight secured the Sony brand rights to tables, this was a package with royalties paid for the most part. Which is how licensing works. There are some exceptions but you receive the permission to go ahead with the 'licensed media" , and the parent company has assumedly secured permissions from actors/musicians as part of their contracts before hand.

re: pete's awesome list:

1981- Heavy Metal (all the art would be sick on this table, such a great animated film) - ohhh this would be freakin' AWESOME! done right, would blow any old machine like "centaur" or whatever out of the water!

...
1982- Monty Python Live at the Hollywood Bowl (becouse it's the only monty python they own) - would be fa-reakin' hilarious! though about any terry gilliam movie post-python would be cool ("time bandits pb" anyone? or how about, god forbid, "fear and loathing: the pinball machine"?...)

...
1993-Robin Hood: Men in Tights (this would be pretty funny)
1995-Dracula: Dead and Loving It (also pretty funny)
- rmmm well, if it were possible to do a "blazing saddles" or "young frankenstein" table, -those- would be hilarious! but, i have to admit, i'd never seen RH or DDALI... realizing that DDALI isn't mr. brooks, was it? (a super-long shot - "the producers"?? lol! a broadway pb could be pretty freakin' outrageous; the stage musical was even funnier than the original! the movie version of it strangely seemed toned down and played it safer...)

...
1997-Men in Black (seems like a give in but I'd rather prefer any of the other things on this list) - a rather obviously awesome idea!

also, i've never seen johnny mneumonic pb (i'll hafta go find some youtube vids if i can now to see) - but sounds like it would be a great addition to TPA! i hope that machine had lots of samples from the soundtrack; that's a "drinking game" flick hehe! "I WANT A TEN-THOUSAND-DOLLAR-A-NIGHT HOOKER!"

p.s. - ooooohh just checked out some vids - JM is a must-buy off the bat! crazy cyber-robot hands at the top; that'd be an interesting feature for FS to program! seems like the video modes are lengthy; not much for that, but rrrreeeallly looks cool and fun overall! could be a good attention-grabber for tpa!

• Last Action Hero

I will literally sh*t my pants if LAH hits TPA.

Yeah, I was thinking that would be the case when I remembered Ghostbusters was plastered with actor likenesses and voice clips!

 

[Dedpop]

Don't.

 

[weirdproq]

I forgot this means farsight could also do Gottlieb's Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

Oh man. Good call. I'd love to see an original table using the end encounter sequence light show. No mod like Ghostbusters. I'd love to see either TPA or Zen tackle it. I wonder if Speilberg would let them?
