I'm not sure this is the case. In fact, I wouldn't be shocked if the plan for the game arose out of interest in doing a film. They'd need a project that can be filmed in 6 months or so, not the usual 2+ years of a full game, and they'd need one that won't be encumbered by publisher involvement if they hope to keep the film honest.
Think about it: $300,000 is obscenely small. They could have found some small German publisher to front that if that was REALLY the issue.
But of course, this has grown into something much bigger, and that's a very good thing.
