Looks like David Cage’s wet dream of working in movies may finally have come true. New Line Cinema has optionedHeavy Rainfor film, meaning that we may very well get a movie version of a glorified movie in the very near future. Cage might no longer have to use the videogame industry as a stand-in for his movie fantasies anymore, at any rate.

Considering the gameplay is what madeHeavy Raingood, and not its rather dire story, I really fail to see how this could be any good, apart from the potential for actors who actually know how to act this time. That might be a treat.

Anyway, it’s just a filing right now, so we don’t know if it will actually lead to a movie. Can’t they just putHeavy Rainin their PS3s and let it play itself like it enjoys doing? You’d get the same result for a fraction of the cost.
