“It’s an idea that dates back to the 1940s and 1950s in America,” Mr Gomez said.
In Australia recently to talk about the future of films, he said movies and television shows began to create a world beyond the screen with comic books and toys based on props from the shows that allowed viewers to “be part of the action”.
“History tells us that if you tell a story well, people will be willing to pay to be a part of your audience. The trick with transmedia is that we as creators will have to work harder to tell the story well.”
Secondary characters are often reduced to basic stereotypes, which tend to be less interesting and more limiting in portrayals. Transmedia Storytelling requires that these characters get a deeper look and a fuller life so they can be the stars of their own stories.

Penciled by ANDIE TONG
Cover by SALVADOR LARROCA
Get a first look at the world of the upcoming Tron: Legacy! Following the events of the original Tron, the year is 1983 and Kevin Flynn is now in charge of Encom. He’s built it into the largest videogame company in the world. But that’s not all Kevin has accomplished – he’s also secretly built the Grid, a digital world filled with living programs! More than a place where he can race light cycles, it’s a place where he can build and test environments only limited by his imagination. But the Grid is far more complex than even its creator realizes, and even Flynn can’t be in two places at once. As this new world develops a life of its own, Flynn is going to first need the help of an old friend, a security program named Tron. Showcasing a key time of the mythology of the Tron world, part one of THE BETRAYAL will show the early days of the Grid, and the first appearances of the heroes and villains that will be seen in Tron: Legacy.

Transmedia and Writing: Starlight Runner Goes The Distance
Jeff Gomez in Script Magazine
“It was mind-blowing, how these different media — animated television series, feature films — were dealing with the same persistent universe in intricate ways,” Gomez says, with the enthusiasm of someone who is still clearly in touch with his inner child. “I loved the idea that a storyteller could be given that kind of platform and I endeavored to be able to do that myself.”
Thanks so much to UTA, EA and Everyone else who made our San Diego Comic Con 10 year anniversary bash so wonderful.
