LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - "Charlie's Angels," the 1970s TV show that spurred a blockbuster movie and now a sequel is coming back yet again -- as a video game.
Sony Corp (news - web sites).'s (6758.T) movie division on Monday said would release an online video game based on "Charlie's Angels" to coincide with the new "Angels" movie which it is also releasing.
The double-barreled release comes as Hollywood and the games industry increasingly look to cross-promote their offerings on the view that the hype over a game can help boost the fortunes of a new movie, and vice versa.
Sony Pictures Digital Networks said "Charlie's Angels: Angel X" would be released in June to tie in with the June 27 theatrical debut of "Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle."
The game is being developed by 7 Studios, best known for console games like "Defender," and will feature five levels set in places like a scrap yard and a martial arts dojo.
