Unique Features, a film studio formed by ex-New Line staff Bob Shaye and Michael Lynne, has picked up the rights to produce a film based on Sony's Heavy Rain.

Why make a movie of this game, when the game was like a movie anyway?
Could be good I guess.

Stupidest. Idea. Ever.

Either Quantic need money, or are running out of it, because if you've played the game, you've seen the movie as Nims said.

Damn Hollywood running out of ideas...

Wouldnt know whether a real-life version, or animated movie(similar to ingame) would be better for this?
