Sly Joins the Cast of the Ratchet & Clank Movie

Sony's continuing to, ahem, ratchet up the budget of the Ratchet & Clank Movie. What originally seemed like a direct-to-video affair seems to get bigger in ambition all of the time, with household names such as Sylvester Stallone, Paul Giamatti, Paul Goodman, and Rosario Dawson now reported to be part of the cast. They'll be joined by the usual array of voices from the games.

The news comes courtesy of Hollywood Reporter, and suggests that the Japanese giant is betting big on this flick. The silver screen adaptation's been written by ex-Insomniac Games veteran TJ Fixman, who's also penned many of the games. A PlayStation 4 reboot of the original release is also set to coincide with the launch of the movie, and is apparently looking gorgeous.
