Screenwriter Sheldon Turner is becoming even more “inFAMOUS.”
Sony Pictures has pre-emptively picked up a pitch from Turner to adapt the Sucker Punch Prods. video game into a feature film. The deal is for seven figures.
The studio is working out a deal for rights to the game, which was published by sister company Sony Computer Entertainment.
Avi Arad and Ari Arad will produce. Sony executives Matt Tolmach and Jonathan Kadin are handling for the studio.
Infamous already has a comic book line and soundtrack collection, with games like Assassin’s Creed II and the Halo series following suit with similar multimedia initiatives later this year.
Is this the future of gaming? Buy the game, but don’t forget the comic, DVD series, anime, soundtrack, toothbrush and cereal?
