News: Tell me more... tell me more... Grease will soon be a video game.

505 Games has announced they have reached a deal with Paramount Digital Entertainment to create games based on the 1978 John Travolta-Olivia Newton John movie Grease. Not surprisingly, the game will be a singing and dancing affair that will be coming to the DS and Wii sometime soon:

The Grease video game will allow players to sing and dance alongside Danny, Sandy, The Pink Ladies and the T-Birds. The game will take full advantage of the Nintendo Wii's motion-sensing controls and microphone, and the DS's touch screen to create exciting gameplay for casual and family gamers eager to experience Grease in a new medium.

УWe are really excited about working with Paramount Digital Entertainment to turn this world famous film into a video game for the very first time. Working with such a well known and much loved brand is a great opportunity and we believe the collaboration further strengthens 505 Games' entertainment portfolio,Ф commented Ian Howe, Managing Director 505 Games.

УParamount Digital Entertainment is pleased to be working with 505 Games to develop Grease,Ф said John Kavanagh, Senior Vice President of Video Games for Paramount Digital Entertainment. УGrease is the ideal opportunity to reach a broad gaming audience who love to sing, dance and have fun with a party-style game.Ф

We'll have more soon.
