For those of you who were (and still are) fans of the Sly Cooper video game franchise like myself, many of you have probably heard rumours about a Sly Cooper movie in the making. An official trailer was released yesterday for the the Sly Cooper movie, which is set to be released in 2016. Both Sony and Sucker Punch Productions (the game developers of the popular game series) have been working closely with Rainmaker Entertainment and Blockade Entertainment on the movie adaptation of Sly Cooper, according to the film's producer and CEO of Blockade Entertainment, Brad Foxhoven. The movie is to be made entirely in CG, which includes remodeling of the characters.
Although the CG work shown in the trailer looks phenomenal compared to the graphics of any Sly Cooper game ever released, I feel it has veered too off course as far as character models go. It is understandable that in order to create a CG film adaptation of a video game, changes must be made to characters and objects. However, the characters have been altered so drastically in this case that they bare minimal resemblance to the original characters. I am also curious as to whether this movie will have any relation to the story line of the video game franchise or if it will have a story line of its own, perhaps a side story of their adventures outside of the game.
