Microsoft Sign Up the Bandit to Advertise ‘You’re in the Movies’

Author: Vince | Date: October 30, 2008

As part of the drive to raise awareness of their upcoming game You’re in the Movies, Microsoft have signed up Hollywood legend Burt Reynolds to give a series of ‘screen test masterclasses’ to get you in the mood for the game.  The classes will come in the form of a series of TV adverts and a new website for the game, the first of these ads will be shown on VH1 in the USA on 17th November with global showings to follow.  The bandit himself had this to say:-

“It’s great to be able to share some of my experience with everyone about what it takes to be a movie star. “You’re in the Movies” on Xbox 360 allows everyone to have a piece of the action and have a fun time with their friends and family, starring in their own features, from the comfort of their own homes.”

You’re in the Movies transports players into a magical world of cinema and hilarious improvisations. Using the Live Vision camera, players’ actions are captured and placed into short, riotous films that put the spotlight on the unique and often dubious acting talents of friends and family.

You’re in the Movies is scheduled for release 1st December and costing $69.99/£44.99 including the Live Vision camera.

I have a weird thing for Burt Reynolds, I mean I even like the picture you have posted!!! i just got him as the voice on my GPS too. I got it from http://www.navtones.com that does celebrity voices for GPS. I love it! I also got Mr. T and Kim Cattrall but for some reason I keep going back to Burt!

Normally I’m not a fan of spam, but I do admire your creativity. Especially after last time.

You should really keep a record of who you have spammed, to prevent embarrassing double spamming like this, it just makes you look amateur.
