Video game publisher Activision has landed the exclusive rights to create games based on the upcoming sci-fi action thriller Minority Report, starring Cruise as a cop of the future.

The film, directed by Steven Spielberg, debuts June 21, with planned video games adapted from the movie expected to hit store shelves later in the year.

Minority Report is about a cop in the future working in a division of the police department that arrests killers before they commit the crimes courtesy of some future viewing technology. Cruise's character has the tables turned on him when he is accused of a future crime and must find out what brought it about and stop it before it can happen.

The deal gives Activision the rights to develop, publish and distribute games based on the Fox-DreamWorks co-production for the next five years, with titles for all gaming systems, including Sony PlayStation 2, Nintendo GameCube and Microsoft Xbox.

"'Minority Report' lends itself well to a wide variety of game-play elements with intense futuristic storylines and gripping action-packed sequences," said Ron Doornink, president and chief operating officer of Activision.
