Wesley Snipes game Dubbed Julius Styles: The International coming to iPhone and iPad
Insolvency Blade
Wesley Snipes is in prison for tax evasion. This means he's not able to appear in any films. The Blade and New Jack City star isn't just twiddling his thumbs and hoping to avoid being shanked, though – he's filling his jailtime with a bit of iPhone and iPad game development.
Dubbed Julius Styles: The International ('Dubbed' is part of the title) will contain puzzle and action elements, and will come out first on iPhone and iPad before hitting Xbox, PSN, and Android.
In the words of the press release, best imagined in a deep, gravelly voice, "In a world of money, power, sex and murder, Julius Styles (Wesley Snipes) is an international "Facilitator" a man whose unique talents make him a valuable commodity."
In the words of Snipes himself, "This project was inspired by my desire to bring my Art of War, Murder at 1600 and Passenger 57 characters into the game world. Julius Styles will offer something for both the mind game strategist and the kick -ass special ops warrior lover."
He goes on, "I love games that challenge my mind and reflexes. Julius Styles pits your street knowledge survival skills with your academic intellect and spiritual intuition."
If there's one thing I've been waiting for in a game, it's the opportunity to combine my street knowledge survival skills with my academic intellect and my spiritual intuition.
"The feature film is going to be a blast!" Snipes concludes, indicating that once he gets out of jail he'll be bringing his idea to the big screen.
Dubbed Julius Styles: The International is being developed by Lapland Studios, and is due to hit the App Store in June.
