Scene It? James Bond Edition Due in October

Thursday June 24, 2004
Screenlife, creator of the DVD board game Scene It?, plans to publish a James Bond Edition of the game in October 2004. The James Bond edition combines interactive DVD entertainment, including scenes, images and questions from 20 Bond movies, with a traditional board game.

According to a press release, Scene It? James Bond Edition features some of James Bond's most memorable moments on film spanning from Dr. No to Die Another Day. The game is the result of a licensing relationship with Eon Productions/Danjaq, LLC, the affiliated companies that control all worldwide merchandising of the James Bond franchise, in cooperation with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer.

"We polled our Scene It? fan base and we received an overwhelming response to make our next edition of the game the James Bond edition," said Dave Long, co-founder and CEO of Screenlife, in the release. "James Bond is a timeless character who spans many generations. Everyone enjoys the intrigue, suspense and sex appeal of the Bond films."

Scene It? James Bond Edition will be available in October 2004 at national department and specialty stores and online at www.sceneit.com. Retailing for $49.99, Scene It? James Bond Edition contains a DVD with more than 700 on-screen challenges, 600 trivia card questions, 30 Q Cards, a Flextime game board (which allows games to be shorter or longer, depending on players' preferences) and 007-themed collectible game pieces.

The success of the original Scene It? game was unprecedented, selling more units in its launch season than Trivial Pursuit, Pictionary and Cranium combined in their launch seasons. In June of 2003, Screenlife signed a mass-market distribution marketing deal with Mattel, Inc. Scene It? was also one of only five nominees for the Toy Industry Association's prestigious 2003 Game of the Year award; Scene It? Jr. recently received a 2004 Parents' Choice Award in the Fun Stuff category from the Parents' Choice Foundation.

All clips featured in this product are rated PG-13.
