"Video Games: The Movie has achieved Kickstarter funding, Mediajuice Studios has announced. Aiming to tell the story of the video game industry through a series of interviews with developers, publishers and consumers, filmmaker Jeremy Snead&amp;#039;s Mediajuice Studios were seeking $60,000 in Kickstarter funding.  Having passed its original target, Mediajuice has introduced a number of stretch goals to appeal to new backers. Raising $80,000 will see the studio hire a celebrity narrator, with $100,000 the filmmakers will purchase the rights to popular songs for the soundtrack, while $120,000 will see MediaJuice employ a famous band or composer to create an original score. Aiming for a late summer release, the film features interviews with the likes of Atari founder Nolan Bushnell, celebrity gamer Will Wheaton, Capcom&amp;#039;s Yoshinoro Ono and Deus Ex creator Warren Spector.   Other contributors include Gearbox co-founder Randy Pitchford, Gears of War designer Cliff Bleszinski, industry veteran David Perry and Oculus Rift creator Palmer Luckey. The studio also plans to interview Nintendo&amp;#039;s Shigeru Miyamoto, Metal Gear creator Hideo Kojima and Valve&amp;#039;s Gabe Newell, as well as famous faces such as George Lucas and Steven Spielberg. The film will feature footage from last year&amp;#039;s E3 gaming expo, the 2012 San Diego Comic-Con and the Spike Video Game Awards. MediaJuice plans to release the movie in theatres, home video and video on demand, although it&amp;#039;s yet to secure a backer.   Previous crowd-sourced films about the industry include Indie Game: The Movie, which is reportedly being made into a HBO comedy. Indie Game: The Movie is a documentary about game designers creating their own projects outside of major studios and the hardships they face. Games featured include one-million selling platformer Super Meat Boy and Xbox Live Arcade title Fez. Watch a trailer for Indie Game: The Movie below:      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
