Turning videogames into movies doesn’t exactly have a great history, but when it’s an animated movie, there’s a chance it’ll be okay – although that fact it’s an independent production should give us a little pause.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘A CG-animated movie based on the iconic PlayStation video game. Two unlikely heroes struggle to stop a vile alien named Chairman Drek from destroying every planet in the Solana Galaxy. Ratchet is the last of his kind, a foolhardy “lombax” who has grown up alone on a backwater planet with no family of his own. Clank is a pint-sized robot with more brains than brawn. When the two stumble upon a dangerous weapon capable of destroying entire planets, they must join forces with a team of colorful heroes called The Galactic Rangers in order to save the galaxy. Along the way, they will learn about heroism, friendship, and the importance of discovering one’s own identity.’
The film will be in cinemas early next year. [Read more…]
