First of all, apparently EA has run out of modern movies to turn into sub-par video games, as now they're reaching back into the vault to ruin films that existed before modern video games themselves.  This makes sense from a corporate point of view, as there probably won't be a Catwoman 2 in EA's future.  Nevertheless, if this project works out, I expect to see films such as Close Encounters of the Third Kind dumbed down and "improved" for the next-generation consoles.  Next up, take a look at this quote from the article:

EA is describing the game as a sort of "director's cut," in the sense that it will offer an expanded take on the original story.

So apparently EA can't harvest enough material from the movie to make a complete video game, so they're adding material semi-related to the original story to fill the extra space.  Throw in a synergistically-timed re-release of the film on DVD to coincide with the game's release and I think we'll have covered all the bases on this one, unfortunately.

We have to stop encouraging Electronic Arts.  Otherwise they'll never learn.
