EXCLUSIVE: PlayStation Productions and Scott Free Productions have launched development on Gravity Rush—a film based on the 2012 action-adventure video game of the same name, which Anna Mastro (Secret Society of Second Born Royals) is attached to direct from a script by Emily Jerome (Panopticon).

The open-world PlayStation Vita game developed by Japan Studio’s Project Siren and published worldwide by Sony Computer Entertainment has players controlling Kat, an amnesiac with the ability to manipulate gravity, who uses her powers to defend the floating community of Hekseville from gravity storms, and the mysterious race of monsters known as the Nevi.

It’s not yet clear who will produce the Gravity Rush film. And while PlayStation Productions falls under the Sony umbrella, it’s similarly unclear whether the pic will be distributed by the studio.

Live action or anime?

Live action or anime?

My guess it's live action

I loved the Gravity Rush games and particularly the cute Kat, probably my favorite character of the generation.

Let's hope it ends being a good movie respectful with the original and don't turn it into a Disney+/Netflix-like woke propaganda turd as we recently saw in Resident Evil, Sandman, Ms Marvel or She Hulk.

Live action or anime?

The article mentions a western production company of live action, a western director of live action and a western screenplay writer of live action.

So I assume it's a western live action.

one of the most underrated PlayStation IPs.

One of my favorite games ever. It's games like these that make Playstation strong as a brand, hope they never stop making them.

Such a unique feeling.

I hope it's an anime and not a live-action film. (And this is coming from someone who doesn't even like or watch anime).

Well, that's a surprise.

As for the style, it could be live-action but I genuinely think (and hope) it'll be a Western/anime-styled CG thing like Blade Runner: Black Lotus or the Castlevania series. It could also be along the lines of something like DC animated meets anime, like the recent Legend of Vox Machina (which was enjoyable).

Any of those approaches would be more fitting for an adaptation of the IP than live-action, IMHO. However looking at the works the two people are attached to, both are live-action and one of them (Panopticon) isn't even out yet. That one has Anthony Mackie in it; I'm generally okay with his performances. The script itself seems more like a gritty crime-prison thing tho, I don't know how that style translates to something like Gravity Rush (Ridley Scott is also attached to that movie as Executive Producer, fwiw).

The other work, Secret Society of Second Born Royals, is a Disney production and looks like any one of their generic Disney Channel Original Movies (remember when these used to be good?). Seen some screenshots and it just looks like so many other high-fantasy teen dramaties these days.

Needless to say until there's some more info, I'm very cautious on this one.

I hope it's an anime and not a live-action film. (And this is coming from someone who doesn't even like or watch anime).

It's 2022 and you don't like anime!? What in the world!?

Maybe you just haven't found the right one. If you want down-to-Earth, start with Monster

More movies than games since the Jim and Hermen Leaderchip, and even the games not all are exciting.

It's really weird, you would think devs the more they sell, the more money they get, the better games they will make, but it's actually quite opposite, EA, Acti, Rockstar and now Sony.

 

[DewPoint]

The movie will make more money than all of the games combined.

 

[Kokoloko]

Ummm. Please bring back Toyama and TeamGravity if you are gonna do this

 

[Deleted member 140]

Yes!

 

[RE4-City]

This is fantastic news

 

[Oogabooga]

Listen guys... I have a strong candidate for the role
