New Line acquires 'Heavy Rain' rights

[Rappy Veteran]

New Line Cinema has optioned the rights for a film adaptation of the PS3 title Heavy Rain.

According to Joystiq, the studio acquired the license in May 2006, shortly after a casting trailer for the game was shown at E3.

Developed by Quantic Dream, Heavy Rain has been heralded as "interactive fiction". Its storyline follows four characters as the track a serial murderer known as the Origami Killer.

The game features a unique control scheme, using a trigger button for movement and the analogue stick to control the position of the character's head. Set pieces are carried out through "context sensitive" actions or quick time events. Players can also access their characters' thoughts at the push of a button.

Published by Sony, Heavy Rain is available for PS3 now.

(Minor GAME Complaint - Once again Sony puts out another game a lot of people thought Ingame graphics gonna look REALLY REALLY good, but actually not really that good)

But it's a strong story/gameplay oriented game, so complaint about graphics is like I said - MINOR :)

I DON'T have this game yet (WILL when it's lower in price) but for those who are curious

[SuperJediMedia]

The graphics is OK, maybe not the BEST graphics, but still good!!!

LOVE this one!!! :D

*Spoilers!!!*

I hope they also make an Indigo Prophecy movie!!! :D

I made the thread because it was about a movie but yeah I didn't ask for the clips :p

[SuperJediMedia]

Jesus all you people do is complain about what I post!

Yes it's about movie but I post clips to ONLY show what this game is about so people who DON'T PLAY this game can understand what kind of movie to EXPECT!

You think I post the clips to DISCUSS the game? :rolleyes:

You must be the exception to the rule about natural selection.

Who should play the roles?

Casting call?

I think Evangelline Lilly and Josh Holloway should! :p

OK, here's a post that's on-topic and doesn't bash JediXAngel. :p

A "Heavy Rain" movie isn't going to work too well, as the game is based on being able to carve your own story depending on the decisions you make, leading up to just one of many different endings. A movie version would be just one linear path with just one ending.

wouldnt be cool if there was like 4 different films given to cinemas and they decide which one to show, each has a different ending :laugh:

Well, thanks for not bashing, as it is totally Unproductive!

But you know our Blu-ray technology can have a choose your own story/path feature now? They may show ONE version in the movie theaters, but on Blu-ray hopefully you can carve up your own!

Technically, we already have that Blu-Ray in the form of the actual game itself.

I am just Happy anytime there is a video game-Movie adaptation now days. Frigging Uwe Boll and his minions have ruined the reputation, I am just hoping for a good one to be made to REPAIR the damaged Rep!!!

I just want to see ALL kinds of VG movies made (Fallout 3, Oblivion, Bioshock, Mass Effect, etc AND Dreamfall, Indigo Prophecy because these stories are BETTER!

People always Fear... what if they make another BAD one... well to me we should just have FAITH!!! :)

Maybe the movie will be better than Avatar!!!1

[bjoswald]

Another game-to-movie adaptation? Fail. :(

Seriously not that many has been made. Many have been in development for years but not made!

Well everyone here does have a valid point for not having high hopes for this. Hollywood doesn't have a good track record with video game movies, even is Uwe Boll isn't involved. Even the Hollywood movies based on gaming but not based on a game are usually terrible. "Gamer" instantly springs to mind.

There is always a START to success.... cuz MOST of things/experiments FAIL at first!

When you have a Success it goes EASIER from there, a lot of people are dumb (Uwe Boll) they don't know what they are doing, and unfortunately they are the ONLY ones doing them... Lord knows why BUT if we have RIGHT people involved, I am NOT worried!

Scientists doesn't just frustrate out and say "Hell with it, we tried 10 times it's time to Give up!" we won't have a future with attitude like that! :)

I believe ANYTHING can happen, it's just WHO does it is the issue. James Cameron takes on a Video game-movie adaptation or Stephen Spielberg I know it will be great!
