"We believe
The Wheelman is a groundbreaking new model for our industry," said David F. Zucker, president and CEO, Midway. "We intend to create a broad–arcing experience, simultaneously developing entertainment properties across a number of mediums, with Vin Diesel right at the center of it all."
"We've been big Vin Diesel fans since he first wrote, directed and starred in his first feature 'Strays,' so partnering to bring this kick–ass character to life across multiple screens is not only exciting, but reflective of how we want to work with talent," said Van Toffler, President, MTV Networks Music/Films/Logo Group. "With some of the biggest names in the feature film and gaming worlds joining forces on The Wheelman, we've got all the makings of a very cool franchise."
"With the close cooperation of Midway, Paramount and MTV Films, we are putting together a new way to tell a story," said Cos Lazouras, production executive, Tigon Studios. "Working in tandem with the movie, we envision the video game will introduce The Wheelman in a way that creates a unique connection with the audience that will blend the interactive world with the experience of the motion picture."
