The media of games and movies have long crossed over into each other's worlds, producing unlikely synergies like the recently announced The Sims movie, the Street Fighter movie, and Wayne's World: The Game.
The latest film set to be coming to the world of video games will perhaps come as a surprise--Dirty Dancing: The Video Game has been announced by Codemasters Online Gaming. The title is in development for the PC only, and it's due for release in time for the holiday season and the movie's 20th anniversary.
The game, being developed by Say Design, is described as a "premium action puzzler casual game," and gamers will take on the role of the film's main character, Baby, and learn dancing steps from dance instructors Johnny and Penny.
Dirty Dancing was originally released in 1987, starring then little-known actors Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey. It tells the tale of 17-year-old Frances Houseman--nicknamed Baby--who, while on a summer vacation with her family, falls in love with dance instructor Johnny Castle. The film became a massive hit, along with the soundtrack, and catapulted Swayze and Grey into stardom.
