Zack Snyder, the Hollywood director behind 300 and upcoming Watchmen, has signed a deal with EA to develop three original games.

According to Variety, Snyder will work with EA’s Los Angeles studio in Playa Vista to produce the titles.

“Zack Snyder has a fresh and bold creative style that resonates with our core audience,” EA Games label president Frank Gibeau said in a statement.

Under the terms of the agreement EA will own the new intellectual properties, but if the publisher decides to turn them into movies they will be produced by Snyder's Cruel & Unusual Films banner.
