Heavy Rain – the Movie?
I’m sure this doesn’t come as much of a surprise to anyone but it looks like we may be seeing a Heavy Rain movie not so far in the distant future.
“A filing with the United States Copyright Office reveals that Quantic Dreams have been exploring a Heavy Rain movie. It is hardly a shock that a story as strong as Heavy Rain’s isn’t thought of as being a likely candidate for the Hollywood treatment, but as you can see from the filing below, David Cage and Quantic Dreams entered into a Short Form Option with Warner Bros subsidiary New Line Productions.

It must be pointed out that a Short Form Option isn’t the movie rights, its merely a filing which legally protects both parties as they enter in to negotiations with each other. As you can see the filing was made in 2007 and we haven’t heard too much (or anything at all) about a Heavy Rain movie since then, so this could dead in the water. Personally I’m hoping a Heavy Rain movie does get made, because it could make one hell of a game.”

I’d rather not see a Heavy Rain movie. I think the general consensus is that it already DOES seem like a movie, albeit you’re playing it, which is a greater appeal than seeing a movie you already know.
