Deadline: An auction of screen rights for the PlayStation3 game Heavy Rain is coming to a close. I'm told a deal is near with Unique Features, the film shingle started by Bob Shaye and Michael Lynne after they exited New Line.
Danielle Deadwyler continues to carve her own path and create one of the most interesting filmographies with 40 Acres.
Genevieve at Skewed and Reviewed has posted a review for the new film. While the premise was interesting enough the movie failed to take advantage of the talent.
Christopher Nolan's Batman Begins was almost very different, according to the writer.
I just don't see the need for this. The damn game was practically a movie itself, with very little real gameplay invovled. Really for the most part I felt like I was just watching a movie instead of playing something. So what's the point of a big screen movie when people can watch the same story, already told in the best way possbile, at home.
