Wesley Snipes is working on a video game during his time in prison, it has been revealed.

The actor has teamed up with Lapland Studio to develop a puzzle-espionage title for iPhone and iPad, according to IGN.

The project, titled Julius Styles: The International, was inspired by a number of films Snipes starred in, including Art Of War and Passenger 57.

"Julius Styles will offer something for both the mind game strategist and the kick-ass special ops warrior lover," he said.

"I love games that challenge my mind and reflexes. Julius Styles pits your street knowledge survival skills with your academic intellect and spiritual intuition."

Lapland Studio CEO Ilkka Immonen told Eurogamer that it will not need the actor's involvement for the next six to eight months.

"At this stage we don't need his involvement so much. I don't know how long his sentence will be, but I'm hopeful he will get out by the time we need him again," said Immonen.

"But what we're doing at the moment, we can get on with it without him for, let's say, at least six to eight months. What happens after that, I don't know. We'll have to think about it then."

Snipes was jailed last year after being convicted of tax evasion, and is set to be released sometime in 2013.

At least he is not idle.

He should stop ducking Ving Rhames and give him a rematch while he's in there.

Perhaps if his mind and reflexes were sharper in the first place, he wouldn't be where he is now.

I read that header wrong, and thought it said "Wesley Snipes is developing into a video game"... you know... like Tron.
