The Movies is a PC simulation game created by Lionhead Studios for Microsoft Windows and Apple Mac OS X. It was released on November 8, 2005 in the United States of America, and November 11, 2005 in Europe after reaching gold status on October 8, 2005. The Mac version will be released on September 22, 2006 in the UK. In The Movies, players take the role of a Hollywood film mogul, running a studio and creating films. Much has been made about the film-making aspect of the game, as it allows players to easily create viewable works or machinima. Many consider it similar to the early 1990s film production game 'Stunt Island'; the game is also similar to the 1988 game Charlie Chaplin and the 1996 game Steven Spielberg's Director's Chair.
The game plays through from the birth of cinema to the present day and into the near future, with all the technology and historical advances that occur along that timeline. After the movies have been made, they can be played back for the viewer to watch. It is possible once the movie is made to add voice, text and music in post-production. The movies can then be exported and shared or uploaded to a website (The Movies Online) for anyone who wishes to watch them.
