[Audio] LEVEL UP: Game On
Have you got game? Are you ready for Cartoon Network’s new half-hour action piece, “Level Up”?
We got a chance to talk with Derek Guiley and David Schneiderman, who wrote the two-hour movie that served as a back-door pilot to the new series. “Level Up” follows three video game jockeys and the tag-along girl as they deal with video game monsters popping up in the real world. Yeah, it’s been done before, but this version looks promising. And the youngling likes it.
“Level Up” premieres on Cartoon Network Tuesday at 8pET. Liza Minnelli!
