Los Angeles - Electronic Arts (NASD: ERTS) is courting four Hollywood movie studios all bidding on the big screen rights to an as-yet-unannounced new title from the video game publisher, Variety reports.

Universal, Paramount, New Regency and MGM are the reported remaining suitors, after Warner Bros. backed out of the bidding yesterday.

The game in question is said to be called "Dante's Inferno," and based on the epic poem centered on hell.

Electronic Arts also recently sold the movie rights to its "Army of Two" and "Mass Effect" franchises.
