[QUOTE="The Feedster, post: 535633, member: 259515"] [IMG]http://mos.techradar.com//classifications/home-entertainment/gaming/consoles/images/xbox-elite-218-85-200-200.jpg[/IMG] A number of horror directors have been given the chance to make a series of short films for Xbox Live. The movies are being produced by the Safran Digital Group, and the directors include Zack Snyder (of [I]300[/I] and soon-to-be [I]Watchmen[/I] fame), Darren Lynn Bousman (director of three of the [I]Saw[/I] movies), and Andrew Douglas ([I]Amityville Horror[/I]). Once made, the short films will be streamed through Xbox Live and shown in the 26 countries that support the service. [B]Complete creative control[/B] Speaking to the [I]Financial Times[/I] about the upcoming movies, CEO of Safran Digital Group Peter Safran said: "This is an opportunity that filmmakers don't usually get." He also added that the filmmakers will get "complete creative control." The line-up of movies seem to be more comedy-based than horror, though, with titles like 'Meat Dog' and 'Humanzee', a short film about a human/chimp hybrid. They will be shown free of charge on Xbox Live under the banner 'Masters of Horror Take on Comedy'.
