As we still wait and see if a great videogame-to-movie adaptation can exist, 2016 will be the true test. Before Warcraft and Assassin’s Creed arrive, Ratchet & Clank — a franchise that has been going strong in the video game world since the first game’s release in 2002, selling over 27 million copies worldwide and spawning a whole host of sequels and spin-offs — is getting the animated feature film treatment.
For those of you not into the series, the overall arc of the story follows Ratchet (a last of his kind “lombax”) and Crank (his robot buddy) as they try to stop the dastardly Chairman Drek from wrecking havoc on the Sonoma Galaxy in order to create a new planet for his own kind. Directed by Jericca Cleland and Kevin Munroe, the first trailer has landed today and it seems to stray heavily towards the kiddie side, although that’s perhaps to be...

Back in 2013, it was revealed that Insomniac Games was turnings its "Ratchet and Clank" video game franchise into an animated movie that's set to hit theaters in 2015. And now, we have a poster for the film. Check it out below. The games focus on two unlikely heroes as they 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, while Clank is a pint-sized robot with more brains than brawn.

About a year and a half ago, we learned from Insomniac Games that they are turning the PlayStation video game series Ratchet & Clank into an animated feature film. The film arrives sometime next year, though we don't know when, and the first teaser poster for the movie has just arrived. Basically, it looks just like a cover for any video game that might have been released, and it doesn't even clarify that this is for a movie. I'm not sure this is going to be something cool for anyone who doesn't like the video games, mostly because this looks exactly like the video game in style and execution, but it's popular, so maybe that's all it needs. Here's the poster for Rainmaker Entertainment & Blockade Entertainment's Ratchet & Clank: Directed by Jericca Cleland from a script by Tj Fixman (who penned all of the video games), Ratchet & Clank will feature James A.

So many video game adaptations are tailored toward older audience members who want to see if Doom, Tomb Raider or Prince of Persia will translate properly to the big screen. Sure, we get the occasional Super Mario Bros. movie, but no one really wants to talk about that. Instead, audiences likely will want to get psyched up for Ratchet and Clank, which Variety says is heading to theaters in early 2015. Rainmaker Entertainment, which was behind this year.s Escape from Planet Earth, will team with Blockade Entertainment to produce the movie, which will be based on the widely popular 2002 game. Jericca Cleland will direct the film, while T.J. Fixman will pen the script. The animated film will be released in 3D. The trade says that vocal talent from the game will participate in the movie, including James A. Taylor, David Kaye and Jim Ward, who provide the voices of ...

The Ratchet & Clank video game franchise is going to get the big screen treatment! THR reports that Rainmaker Entertainment has teamed up with Blockade Entertainment to develop a 3D animated movie adventure.
The characters were introduced to the world in 2002, and they've become quite popular over the years. The most recent game is called Ratchet & Clank: Full Frontal Assault, which was released last year.
I've never played these games, but they "focus on two unlikely heroes as they 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, while Clank is a pint-sized robot with more brains than brawn."
The movie will be directed by Jericca Cleland from a script written by Tj Fixman, who is also a senior writer for Insomniac Games.

The popular video game franchise Ratchet & Clank is in line for a big screen adaptation, as Rainmaker Entertainment and Blockade Entertainment have announced that they plan to make a 3D animated film out of the Insomniac Games property. The current goal is for the movie to release in early 2015.
