Infamous is getting a movie. In a reported seven-figure deal, Sony Pictures has picked up a pitch from screenwriter Sheldon Turner to develop a film based on the Sucker Punch-developed PlayStation 3 exclusive.

According to a Hollywood Reporter story, Sony Pictures -- sibling, of course, to the gaming arm of the megacorporation that publishedInfamous on its platform -- is working out a rights deal for the game.

Turner wrote the screenplay for "The Longest Yard" remake, and also has a comic book project in the works, among other projects in development. 

"What excited me most about the game was it was the first of which I've come across that had a big idea and a character arc," Turner said. 

"It is, I believe, the future of gaming. The game, while big and fun, is at its core a love ballad to the underachiever, which is what our hero, Cole McGrath, is."

Producers Ari and Avi Arad produced "Iron Man" and "The Incredible Hulk," and notably are also producing a film adaptation of Sony's Uncharted: Drake's Fortune for Sony Pictures.

Every game nowadays seems to be getting a movie based on it.

Scared that another game is becoming a movie, but I like the producers. I'll have to keep an eye on this=P

I never wrote the article so don't kill the messenger lol

That is good news, after the success of this new IP, maybe Infamous 2 will come.

Oh dear, this has disaster written all over it...so I'm looking forward to the train wreck :D

I really don't see how this could turn out bad. All the have to do is take the story from the game and make it into a movie. It would actually be very simple.

It has no more or less disaster about it than the Halo movie...

next is going to be Gears , i bet.
