Gore Verbinski has more going on than films about pirates and talking lizards that were also pirates. His transmedia company, Blind Wink Productions, just inked a deal with Microsoft to produce content for all of Microsoft's platforms. The Hollywood Reporter says the first collaboration will be a Xbox Live Arcade game that uses Kinect, slated for late 2012.

"Xbox 360 gamers can look forward to innovative and creative games from the mind of Gore Verbinski that explore new and exciting gaming territory and take full advantage of our platforms," said Microsoft's Matt Booty. Last, he was president of Midway, but following the collapse moved over to Microsoft and is currently general manager of mobile, digital and casual games.
