Gravity Rush is the latest game from the PlayStation catalogue to be getting the adaptation treatment.
It’s a brand new day, which must mean we’re due another PlayStation Productions announcement. After yesterday’s reveal that a Days Gone movie is in the works, PlayStation Productions have announced another title to add to its jam-packed slate in the form of Gravity Rush.
The studio is joining forces with Scott-Free Productions to collaborate on the project which will be directed by Anna Mastro, director of 2020’s Secret Society Of Second Born Royals. Gravity Rush is a 2012 action game which has you playing as ‘the amnesiac Kat who has the ability to manipulate gravity and uses her powers to defend the floating community of Hekseville from gravity storms, and the mysterious race of monsters known as the Nevi.’
PlayStation has allied with Ridley Scott’s production team for this one and despite making more project announcements recently than even Disney, the company seems to keep establishing links to top-tier talent. Perhaps PlayStation Productions is hellbent on finally erasing the curse of the video game-to-movie adaptation, but it certainly seems to be very persuasive, with District 9′s Sharlto Copley also announcing today that the sequel to that film won’t happen until director Neill Blomkamp has made Gran Turismo for PlayStation.
Whatever the company is doing, it’s an interesting path to follow with Gravity Rush now added to a slate that includes a TV version of The Last Of Us, along with an Uncharted sequel too. There are also adaptations of Gran Turismo, Days Gone, Jak And Daxter, Ghost Of Tsushima and perhaps even God Of War and Horizon Zero Dawn on the way too. We’ll just head off now and start writing up the announcement of the PaRappa the Rapper movie that is sure to be announced tomorrow…
