There are quite a few video game movies coming our way over the next few months, but the difference between this new batch and what has come before is that these upcoming movies promise to be something to get excited about. Warcraft and Assassin’s Creed and both shaping up to buck the trend of bad video game adaptions, but what may get there first is Ratchet & Clank, the big screen debut of Sony’s own incredibly delightful platformer that will no doubt go down a storm with the kiddies, and features an impressive voice cast including the game’s original VO cast of James Arnold Taylor, David Kaye, and Jim Ward, swell as Paul Giamatti, John Goodman, Rosario Dawson, and Sylvester Stallone. Check out the new poster and images below.
Released: April 29th (U.S.)/ May 8th (IRL/U.K.)
Synopsis: Two unlikely heroes struggle to stop a vile alien named Chairman Drek from destroying every planet in the Solana Galaxy. Ratchet is the last of his kind, a foolhardy "lombax" who has grown up alone on a backwater planet with no family of his own. Clank is a pint-sized robot with more brains than brawn. When the two stumble upon a dangerous weapon capable of destroying entire planets, they must join forces with a team of colorful heroes called The Galactic Rangers in order to save the galaxy. Along the way, they will learn about heroism, friendship, and the importance of discovering one’s own identity.
