Variety reports that Insomniac's Ratchet & Clank franchise (which has sold over 26 million copies worldwide since the first instalment was released in 2002) is being brought to the big screen by Escape from Planet Earth's Rainmaker Entertainment and Blockade Entertainment. With a planned release date of "Early 2015", the movie will be directed by Jericca Cleland based on a script by TJ Fixman. That should come as very good news to fans, especially as Fixman is a senior writer on the games. As if that wasn't exciting enough, key talent from the series will reprise the roles of Ratchet (James A. Taylor), Clank (David Kaye) and Qwark (Jim Ward). "We’ve always thought Ratchet and Clank would be a fantastic all-ages movie and are thrilled our intergalactic heroes will finally get their chance to shine on the big screen,”" Ted Price, founder and CEO of Insomniac Games, told the site. "Insomniac is especially honored to play a hands-on role with the film’s production, including the screenplay, consulting on character development and animation, and adding support to the film’s marketing." Are you guys looking forward to this?

I always said Ratchet & Clank were perfect for a animated movie or series. The games are just getting tiring and going to movies to continue the story is the perfect place. The stories they have are pretty awesome and the voice acting are top notch. They made the best move to bring all the originals back and the writer too. Great move Insomniac.

I think Jax and Daxter would make a better animated film, but give us a new jax and daxter or a new crash bandicoot for ps4

You just know there'll be a video game released at the same time... would you call that a tie-in game if it's based on a movie based on a game? Or would you call the movie a tie in?

Love the Ratchet and Clank series! Been a fan since the PS2 days! I always thought R&C would make for a great CGI movie, so this has me excited!

And yeah, I agree that there should be a Jak and Daxter movie as well. That was my favorite series on the PS2. Hell, an animated Sly Cooper movie would be sweet too!

I could see a a live action Jak & Daxter franchise Peter Jackson's Lord of the Ring style and or in tone but little bit more comedic.

Nowhere near as good as Jak and Daxter!!
Jak 3 was freaking epic!! the bits out in the desert and the twists involving Light Eco and the Forebearers was awesome and Halo-like :D
