Joke’s on me, because it’s happening. It’s happening in 2015 and based on the trailer above, it doesn’t look terrible. The world’s all topsy-turvy!
The Ratchet & Clank movie is being made by Rainmaker Entertainment in conjunction with independent production company Blockade Entertainment, and a chunk of Insomniac staff. This will make the first CGI video game movie to get a full-on theatrical release (Wreck-It Ralph does not count.), thanks to the series having sold 26 million units since its inception.
GameSkinny’s own John Gaudiosi spoke with Insomniac’s Ryan Schneider to give us a sneak peak into the movie’s production and how it came to be. Well-worth a read for any Ratchet & Clank fan getting hyped for 2015.
We are all (I assume) aware of Hollywood and the game industry loving a good movie and game tie-in, so one can’t help but wonder if we’ll be getting a new and robust Ratchet & Clank game to go with this shiny new movie. We have a long time to wait, but here’s to hoping we get a good movie and a good game out of this production effort.
