Reliance Big Entertainment and Tom Hanks' Company Join To Form Electric City

Reliance Big Entertainment announced a joint-venture with Tom Hanks and Gary Goetzman’s Playtone. RBE together with Playtone will create ‘Electric City’ – a multi-platform digital experience covering a multi-episode animated internet series, online social game and mobile application.

Conceived and written by Tom Hanks, Electric City will offer a view of the future of civilization, presented through the lens of provocative themes such as energy consumption, freedom of information, crime and punishment.

Electric City is being specifically designed as a multi-platform, multi-screen unified digital experience.
A Social Game, a Mobile Game, Webisodes and Mobisodes will be interlinked creating a unique digital
experience.  The storyline lends itself perfectly to a multi-player browser game application for social
networking sites and mobile devices.

Zapak, the gaming arm of RBE, will spearhead and manage the whole project. Electric City will look
forward to strategic partnerships with leading global companies in video distribution, social gaming &
mobile applications.
