Gravity Rush Game Enters Development For Film Adaptation
A movie based on the 2012 open-world video game Gravity Rush has gone into development, according to Deadline. It's not yet known what company or companies will produce and distribute the film.
Anna Mastro (Secret Society of Second Born Royals) is reportedly attached to direct a script from Emily Jerome (Panopticon). The original game centers on Kat, a woman with amnesia who learns she has the ability to manipulate gravity, and must protect a floating city while uncovering her past. The film will be coming from PlayStation Productions and Ridley Scott's Scott Free, though there's still no confirmed distributor or production start date.
Gravity Rush had a sequel come out in 2017, simply titled Gravity Rush 2. In the lead-up to its release, an anime adaptation titled Gravity Rush the Animation ~Overture~ was released bridging the two games' stories--and may offer an insight into at least the tone that could be considered for the coming film.
An adaptation of Days Gone, another PlayStation game, also officially moved forward last week. As a movie, the game--an action-adventure title about riding a motorcycle around in a zombie apocalypse and trying to against all odds be reunited with the main character's wife--will reportedly be, according to Deadline, «a love ballad to motorcycle movies; the bike being Deacon's sole form of transportation, his horse in this would-be, modern-day western.»
PlayStation Productions is also behind the Uncharted movie with Tom Holland and the Last of Us TV show with HBO.
