Heavy Rain film could land at Unique Features
The Playstation 3 game has already sold over 1 million units since first going on the shelves in February and it was said that Shaye and Lynne, both former New Line Cinema executives who left to form Unique Features, currently have to top bid for the film rights to the video game. It was said that the game was similar in tone to the David Fincher film Se7en, which was one of the films that Shaye and Lynne oversaw while at New Line. Here's a description of the video game by the publisher, Quantum Dreams.

This could really work. It could work if the studio doesn't start trying to cut corners and work this film down to a cruddy movie, as studios do when adapting video games. I'm glad that Prince of Persia was treated like anyother big budget movie, even if it sucks it wasn't scamed out of potential so much as treated like anyother Jerry Bruckhiemer flick, which could level the playing field for furture video game movies.
