Sony can’t stop, won’t stop with the adaptations
PlayStation Productions seems to be on a roll with new projects, as another movie adaptation of a Sony IP is apparently moving forward.Deadlinereports that a film based onGravity Rushis in development.
According to Deadline, PlayStation Productions and Scott Free Productions have launched development. Anna Mastro (Secret Society of Second Born Royals) looks to be attached as director, with Emily Jerome on the script.
Gravity Rushis the pushing-and-pulling action-adventure series from Sony Japan Studio, where protagonist Kat can bend gravity to her will. She fights monsters, defends her hometown, and also does the occasional odd job for others.
Deadline says it’s not clear who will produce theGravity Rushfilm as of yet. Distribution is also apparently unclear.
Rushing to the silver screen
Gravity Rushjust adds to the rapidly growing list of PlayStation IP productions in development. Alongside theGravity Rushfilm, we also heard fromDeadline’s report last weekthat Sony is planning on aDays Gonefilm.
It’s not just film adaptations, either.Twisted Metalhas a series in development, and reports ofHorizonandGod of Warseries have also popped up. Plus,The Last of Usjust got a first-look clip in anHBO sizzle reel.
TheGravity Rushmovie news is actually pretty exciting, as I personally think this series would make the jump to film pretty well. It’s got a good basis for some cozy, feel-good, slice-of-life moments. And Kat’s gravity powers could make for pretty exciting action setpieces.
There’s the stinger ofSony Japan’s down-scaling, though, as that deflates any of my hopes for some newGravity Rusharound this. Regardless, it looks like Sony is carrying on with adapting a ton of its properties into film and TV. It’s anyone’s guess as to what could or could not be next.
