Cellphones to Join the Men In Black

The Earth is under attack; aliens are among us. Tentacled creatures are threatening our very existence. Luckily, there is now new equipment in the fight against this alien scum - the mobile phone. Thanks to Columbia Pictures and Digital Bridges, Earth's best, last and only line of defence -- the Men In Black -- will shortly be keeping aliens in check via mobile phones across Europe and Asia.

Digital Bridges is developing a range of Men In Black II branded mobile entertainment services including games for all existing mobile technologies (SMS, WAP & Java) as well as downloadable personalization services such as ringtones, icons, logos and voicemail services.

There are currently four games in production, one for Java enabled handsets and three that will work over SMS or WAP. A version for colour WAP handsets will also be made available.

"Digital Bridges remains committed to bringing the biggest and best entertainment properties to mobile users worldwide," said Brian Greasley, the CEO of Digital Bridges. "Men In Black II promises to be one of the biggest movies of the year and this will be the richest mobile entertainment offering around a movie to date, encompassing multiple game titles, technologies and downloadable personalization services."'"
