Yes folks, that is correct, what you are reading is no joke. New Line Productions along with QuanticDream, Inc. and David DeGruttola a.k.a. David Cage, has filed a short form copyright assignment for none other than a big screen adaptation of Heavy Rain.
The copyright document was created way back on April 23rd, 2007 which is quite a ways back, but still follows Heavy Rain’s 2006 E3 debut.
For the more “spec oriented” among us, here is the full filing:
Type of Work: Recorded Document Document Number: V3551D622 Date of Recordation: 2007-04-23 Entire Copyright Document: V3551 D622 P1-3 Date of Execution: 15May06; 12Jan07 Title: Heavy rain / by David “Cage” de Gruttola. Notes: Short form option. Exhibit A recorded at request of sender. Party 1: QuanticDream, Inc. & David DeGruttola a.k.a. David Cage. Party 2: New Line Productions, Inc. Names: DeGruttola, David Cage, David Gruttola, David De QuanticDream, Inc. New Line Productions, Inc.
Is it possible that we might bear witness to a Heavy Rain movie? Further still, would a big screen adaptation of Heavy Rain manage to have the same psychological an emotional affect that the game has had on so many of us gamers? The talent is definitely there, and with the Heavy Rain voice actors looking spot on identical to their video game counterparts, we could be in for one heck of a treat. Only time will tell.
