WBIE - Image 1After giving you updates about F.E.A.R (Xbox 360, PS3, PC), we now focus our attention on the shake-up in the Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment (which owns Monolith, the game's developer). Samantha Ryan, former CEO of Monolith and producer of the No One Lives Forever series, has taken on the role of senior vice president, development and production at Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment.

She is replacing Jason Hall, who joined the company after WB acquired Monolith in 2003. Hall was the co-founder of Monolith and even served as its CEO until he took over the responsibility for overseeing and managing WB's games development team. He will now be focusing on his own production company, HDFilms. Aside from that, he would take on the role of executive producer for high profile WB games.

On the other hand, Ms. Ryan will be in charge of managing development and production staff and will take overall responsibility for all of WB's videogame titles. WB president Kevin Tsuhijara has this to say about this development:

We’re extremely fortunate to have Samantha take the helm at WBIE...She has worked with us since Monolith was one of our important production studios and has continued to do so since we acquired the company. We have always been impressed with Samantha as an executive, a game developer and as a person and we anticipate this being about as seamless of a transition as one could hope for.
