Heavenly Sword to get direct-to-DVD CG movie
Ratchet and Clank isn't the only Sony game to get a film adaptation. PS3 launch game Heavenly Sword will also be getting a CG movie adaptation--albeit a straight-to-DVD effort.

According to Variety, Blockade Entertainment, who are also working on Ratchet & Clank, will be working on the film adaptation of Ninja Theory's 2007 action game. The original game followed Nariko, a red-haired warrior that must protect the cursed Heavenly Sword.
A movie based on Heavenly Sword was mulled for quite some time, with Ninja Theory co-founder Nina Kristensen "considering opportunities in creating a CGI movie," back in 2008. However, after Sony canceled development of a sequel, it appears those plans fell through. The original game, although not a runaway critical success, was praised for its performances--particularly for Andy Serkis' motion-captured role.
Resurrecting the IP for a movie may give fans hope for a sequel. Heavenly Sword was last seen in PlayStation All-Stars: Battle Royale.

I had fun with Heavenly Sword, sure it might not have been able to sell the $600 console when it was put up against a better $400 console, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't do anything with this series. In fact I would like to see a sequel one of these days.
