Electronic Arts has been putting more and more efforts into making new original games like Army of Two and the upcoming Mirror's Edge, Spore and Dead Space. So it makes sense that EA would like to see some of these properties on movie and TV screens. Today the publisher announced that they have signed a deal with the Hollywood talent agency UTV to help them do just that.

EA hopes to ramp up film and TV shows based on their game titles with the help of UTV. Even thought EA has a ton of games that could be turned into other media properties they only have a few of these kind of deals in development. These include a movie based on The Sims at Fox and a MySims animated TV series at Film Roman. There's also a Dead Space animated movie from Starz/Film Roman that will be released alongside the game this October.
