May 15th and 16th

RATCHET AND CLANK, two unlikely heroes, must 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 theyll learn about heroism, friendship, and the importance of discovering ones own identity.

Two new images

It looks amazing and can't wait to see more.

The fish-looking guy is looking like he means business.

The shots look awesome, I really hope this is good.

Derp · Apr 10, 2015

Can't wait for this.

John Bender · Apr 10, 2015

Hm, looks nice

Jeels · Apr 10, 2015

Do we know whose doing the writing for this?

TJ Fixman I believe.

Looks great so far, can't wait to see more on it.

I don't really care about the movie but I am interested in seeing the game.

Aye, I badly want to see the game. I'm sure it'll have a substantial showing at E3 this year.

Yeah, I'm betting it's one of Sony's big fall games for the PS4. Will be nice to have a proper Ratchet game on store shelves again!

Percy · Apr 10, 2015

Visually, the movie is shaping up a lot better than I was expecting given the studio making it. Might take the kids to see it when it comes out.

Yeah, should at least be interesting to see which of the two has the better framerate hyuk hyuk

FriedConsole · Apr 10, 2015

To make it popular in France they should just make Ratchet and Clank black and white, have a lot of people smoking and talking pretentiously, make the plot unintelligible, and add Gérard Depardieu. Boom. Hit of Cannes!

Deft Beck · Apr 10, 2015

So, it is starting at the beginning of the game canon? Or, is it doing its own thing?

JediLink · Apr 10, 2015

I'm eager to find out if the movie is worth the attention of anyone over five. The trailer gave me... mixed feelings.

Icyflamez96 · Apr 10, 2015

Those are age old images lol

Don't think I've ever seen them posted here though.

Afrodium · Apr 10, 2015

I heard it's an early contender for Palme d'Or.

WeWereGiants · Apr 10, 2015

I really hope this is successful, I've always loved the franchise and really want it to continue.

cavemancolton · Apr 10, 2015

I'm sure Cannes will love it.

Sami+ · Apr 10, 2015

I really, really hope it's good and successful. Lift some of the stigma of video game movies having to be trash and actually do something good with the IP for the first time in years.

Carl · Apr 10, 2015

Wonderful. Big fan of the series, rather looking forward to this. Hope it turns out well.

Didn't know the Galactic Rangers were in this. I loved them in Ratchet 3. Hope they're as good in the film. Fingers crossed

SerTapTap · Apr 10, 2015

Visually it looks great (other than Drek's changes). Hoping the writing is up to par. If the writing is as good as the games it could be more or less the first game movie not to suck (Silent Hill was...alright)

TheCarrotKiller · Apr 10, 2015

Yes! This means that he movie will be out 'til summer, right? Ah, can't wait!

NastyBook · Apr 10, 2015

A janitor cameo will make this movie. Hope he's in there.

paragonpro · Apr 10, 2015

Does anyone know if the movie is getting a theatrical release? Or straight to blu Ray type deal?

it's being written by TJ Fixman so i see no reason why it wouldn't be as good as the writing in the games

It may, given that Sony may want to put it out in some markets. However Rainmaker has only made one Theatrical release, Escape to Planet Earth, and that didn't do very well. Previously al their work has been straight to video I think.
edit: 11 barbie movies! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rainmaker_Entertainment

Black Pewter · Apr 10, 2015

Someone tell Circinus

petethepanda · Apr 10, 2015

I'd love for this to be good but every instinct says it'll most likely be cringeworthy.

SerTapTap · Apr 10, 2015

Carl said:

Yeah I just try to keep myself skeptical because game movies just...never go right. I don't see any obvious reason this one wouldn't but damn it's a lot of bad precedent.

Circinus · Apr 10, 2015

Ah nice to hear something about the film again. Can't wait for the film. I'm going to guess it's going to release in August.

paragonpro said:

Yes, worldwide theatrical release with Cinema Management Group as distributor.

Sony Pictures Home Entertainment will be distributing the Blu-ray/DVD release after theatrical run.

RipperGrim · Apr 10, 2015

Man I am hoping so much that this is good.

jett · Apr 10, 2015

Is this getting a theatrical release? Thought it was a direct-to-video movie.

Icyflamez96 · Apr 10, 2015

He does well with the character interactions and, for the most part, the dialogue. The only R&C plot he's written that was exceptional was CiT imo. If anything, the movie should at least "feel" like a Ratchet and Clank game.

It's being directed by Kevin Munroe, who did TMNT 2007.

jett said:

It was announced to have a theatrical release from the start.

Jigorath · Apr 10, 2015

Alright, hope it's good.

jonno394 · Apr 10, 2015

I'll likely take my nieces to see this if it gets a theatrical release in the UK. Usually if I just say to them "do you want to go watch X" they say yes, even if they don't know anything about it.

DieH@rd · Apr 10, 2015

Hopefully at E3 we will see the that long time ago announced videogame reboot made by Insomniac.

Undoubtedly since it's scheduled for this fall and according to Insomniac Games the game is looking really good right now. Wih Uncharted 4 being delayed, Ratchet & Clank will be SCE's PS4 game to be in the spotlight this fall.

Vashetti · Apr 10, 2015

Will the cinema release include a 3D option?

BadWolf · Apr 10, 2015

Seems it had a decent budget going by those shots, good stuff.

Guessing it will be released along with, or close to, the game remake?

twisted h3art · Apr 10, 2015

Can't wait to see the movie and play the game!

Tigersprite · Apr 10, 2015

If the writing is as good as the first few games were, this should be really good. Reminds me I need to buy a vita or PS3 to replay the collection.

JohnnyFootball · Apr 10, 2015

I'm more interested in hearing some info about the new "old" game.

Mesoian · Apr 10, 2015

I'll watch this movie.

I wish there was another game, running at 60fps...

But I will watch this movie.

It was only announced 10 months ago at E3 2014. But they did say it would be a '2015' release, but suspiciously didn't show anything of it. And they still haven't shown it at all.

Hopefully what began as only a 're-imagining' has become something much bigger - I'm in desperate need for the return to AAA Ratchet, instead of the lame B-tier games they've release since CiT.

The movie will be shit as Ratchet will only be running at 23.976fps

Elandyll · Apr 10, 2015

Won't lie, it looks a lot better than what I was expecting.

Tbh I was fully expecting a half assed effort with average animation and fast tracked graphics ala Hoodwinked. Glad to see that it doesn't appear to be the case.

True enough! Quietly hoping it will be great but s you say, there isn't a great track record for video game films

AgentOtaku · Apr 10, 2015

OMFG!!!

CAN'T WAIT!!!!!! (^____^)

LiquidMetal14 · Apr 10, 2015

I'm excited for this.
