Class 3 Entertainment, known for optioning novels and life rights stories, saw the market potential for a future film audience. Derek Hart Entertainment has commitments for first round funding of $15 million with development of the video game beginning in early February. <br/> <br/>Bob Lenthart, CEO of Derek Hart Entertainment, an independent game design studio, has already tapped some of the talented individuals leading the rapidly growing multi-billion dollar worldwide entertainment software industry. Lenthart says, &quot;Our development team includes several innovative designers from Warcraft and Warhammer, a leading art director from Gears of War, and one of the fantastic background/character artists from the Halo series.&quot; <br/><br/>Just as with previous films of popular game franchises like Alone in the Dark (2005) and House of the Dead (2003), Hal Croasmun of Class 3 Entertainment envisions a 'Secret Dragon world.' &quot;We foresee a community of fire-breathing fans emerging from the video series based on Derek Hart's six book series.&quot;  Class 3 Entertainment has film and TV rights to the video game, book series, graphic novel, comic book, and the screenplay adaptation written by J.J.
