First multi-game deal between a Hollywood director and a videogame publisher

According to Official Guinness Records,

Steven Spielberg (USA) and Electronic Arts signed a long-term deal in October 2005 to jointly create three new originalvideo-game franchises. Boom Blox is the first of these. There are currently no details on the other two planned franchises. Although EA’s Boom Blox wascreated in collaboration with Academy Award winner Steven Spielberg, it wasn’t the esteemed film-maker’s first foray into game development. That honour falls to The Dig, released by LucasArts in 1995, which was based on an original story idea by Spielberg and
credits him as writer.
