News We're Bored of Writing About the Uncharted Movie
It's never coming out
We understand that the movie business is basically a mess, but the revolving door surrounding the Uncharted film is getting on our nerves. Following the project's most recent exodus, Deadline reports that Sony Pictures has tapped Shawn Levy to take the reins. He most recently worked on Netflix's Stranger Things, and he also...
News Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV Is Being Dismantled by Film Critics
Noct good
Final Fantasy XV just can't catch a break, can it? Despite flaunting some stellar CG, Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV - the game's movie tie-in - is being torn to bits by film critics. The newly released flick is currently sitting at a worrying 8% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 12 different reviews. The movie's plot seems to be the biggest...
News Wait a Minute! They're Still Making Resident Evil Movies?
This is the final chapter, apparently
We knew that Milla Jovovich's live-action Resident Evil movies were relatively popular, but we didn't realise there was a sixth one coming out. Due in January 2017 – the same month as Resident Evil 7, of course – Alice will return for the final chapter in director Paul W.S. Anderson's series, which has been...
News Uncharted's Movie Secures New Script Writer, But Will Never Come Out
Better left buried
Here's one thing we've learned from several years running Push Square: the Uncharted movie will never come out. The flick has been mooted since the beginning of time, and has had dozens of high-profile names attached to it, but it never really seems to get anywhere. Bad Boys III director Joe Carnahan is the latest to be signed up...

No Joker
Those of you eagerly anticipating the release of Suicide Squad next week may want to download the free theme that's available on the European PlayStation Store right now – and will presumably roll out imminently worldwide.

News Ratchet & Clank Movie Kicks Some Asteroid on DVD, Digital Download Next Month
Qwark speed
Ratchet & Clank's big screen debut will deploy on DVD and digital download next month in the UK. The animated film – which we didn't love, but still felt was worth watching – will be available on storefronts such as the PlayStation Store from 22nd August, with its disc-based release following a week later on 29th August.
News Stunning CG Movie Kingslaive: Final Fantasy XV Hits Theatres 19th August
And it actually looks good
As the anti-weeb on the Push Square team, you may well be expecting this article to be laced with snark – but no, Kingslaive: Final Fantasy XV actually looks alright. The spin-off movie based upon the long-overdue role-playing game will hit select US theatres on 19th August, and then will be followed by a digital release...
News Oh No! The Division's Being Made into a Movie
Jarhead
A big screen adaptation of forgotten Ubisoft loot shooter The Division is in the works, with the Prince of Persia himself Jake Gyllenhaal signed up to both play the lead character and produce the film. The good news is that it's still early days for the movie – it doesn't even have a writer yet. If there's any God, this will get s**tcanned...
News More than Half of the Assassin's Creed Movie Takes Place in the Modern Day
Asking for trouble?
The modern day portions of the Assassin's Creed series are divisive to say the least. Surely, a lot of the franchise's appeal comes from the fact that you can explore interesting periods from the past, and more often than not, we'd argue that the present day segments do little more than pull you out of the fun. While it's true...
News Assassin's Creed Movie Looks Exactly As You'd Expect
Fix your eagle eyes on this
This looks... Alright, doesn't it? The Assassin's Creed movie seems to have been in production since the Stone Age, but it's finally got a trailer ahead of its 2016 release. And y'know what? It looks a lot like Assassin's Creed really. There are some small changes – like the Animus being transformed into a giant robotic...
Movie Review Is the Ratchet & Clank Film Worth Watching?
"Yeah, it's pretty good. If you like all CG"
If we're being honest, the original Ratchet & Clank's story wasn't that stellar. Insomniac Games deserves recognition for establishing memorable characters, exhibiting its unique brand of dry, mischievous humour, and building an outlandish universe that makes its story seem all the more interesting...
News Move Over, Angelina! Here's Your New Lara Croft
Oscar-winner Alicia Vikander to play the iconic character
Swedish actress Alicia Vikander, perhaps best known for her roles in Ex Machina and The Danish Girl, will play Lara Croft in Warner Bros and MGM's forthcoming Tomb Raider movie reboot. The Oscar-winning actress has secured the role despite it being heavily linked with Star Wars' Daisy Ridley...
News Film Critics Aren't Being Kind to the Ratchet & Clank Movie
"It gives video game cutscenes a bad name"
The new Ratchet & Clank game is a smash hit; the movie potentially less so. Reviews are starting to roll in for Rainmaker's big screen take on Sony's iconic platforming double-act, and they're pretty brutal. UK newspaper The Telegraph, for example, scored it a 1/5 in an absolutely scathing write-up,...
News Final Fantasy XV Assembles All-Star Cast for Full-Length Film
No, seriously
Square Enix is sparing no expense on Final Fantasy XV it seems, announcing that Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children co-director Takeshi Nozue has been quietly working on a brand new full-length film: Kingslaive: Final Fantasy XV. The movie will launch this summer via digital distribution platforms and on Blu-ray as part of some of Final...
News Star Wars' Daisy Ridley in the Frame to Play Lara Croft?
Rey to go
Don't worry: we have no intention of writing nerd culture stories on this site any time soon, so you can sleep easy knowing you're safe from Marvel movie trailers here. (Speaking of which, it's been a few days since the last one – they should really rectify that.) This is an interesting little tidbit, though: according to Deadline, Star...
News The Ratchet & Clank Movie's TV Commercial Is Baaah-d
Feeling sheepish
If there was ever any doubt of the target market for the Ratchet & Clank Movie, then this TV commercial just about sums it up. It centres on the Sheepinator, and actually caught us a little off guard – it may just be so bad that it's good. It got an unexpected giggle out of us anyway – but we're not sure it's going to make...
News Ratchet & Clank Could Be the Best Video Game Movie Ever
Kick some asteroid
Ratchet & Clank looks so good in film form that it's hard to believe that it's taken this long for Sony to bring the platforming icons to the silver screen. This brand new trailer for the franchise's forthcoming flick has all of the ingredients that it needs to succeed: skittish jump cuts, on-the-nose gags, and a Galantis...

News Oh Great, Now There's a Bloody Borderlands Movie
We're going to be sick
Few things are less funny than Borderlands, but we'd probably put having our eyeballs accidentally sucked out by a vacuum cleaner in the spot above. Still, that's not stopped Telltale Games from taking the title's non-existent fiction and turning it into the decent Tales from the Borderlands, so we suppose that the brand's...
News Knife to See You! Here's a First Look at the Assassin's Creed Movie

Prometheus thesp Michael Fassbender was signed up what feels like an eternity ago to front the flick, and here's a first glimpse of him kitted out with hoods and hidden knives. The film will begin shooting next week, but...
News Uncharted Will Scale the Silver Screen in 2017
You'll have to Nate for it
There are some things in life that never change. We've been reporting on Final Fantasy XV and The Last Guardian for eons now, but at least they've both proven to be proper products that can – no matter how fleetingly – be consumed. The long-in-production Uncharted movie, however, has been a frequent proponent of a...
News Ratchet & Clank's PS4 Debut Stumbles into Spring 2016
Insomniac Games applying spit-shine polish
You'll have to wait a little longer for Insomniac Games' lovable Lombax and snide sidekick to appear on the PlayStation 4, as Ratchet & Clank's hotly anticipated new-gen reboot has been pushed into Spring 2016. The news follows confirmation of the movie's release date, which is set to premiere in US...
News Sly Joins the Cast of the Ratchet & Clank Movie
And not the Cooper kind
Sony's continuing to, ahem, ratchet up the budget of the Ratchet & Clank Movie.

They'll...

Smashin' stuff
We already know that Sony's been trying to make a Super Mario movie, but what we didn't previously know is that it wants to make a Super Smash Bros flick, too.

News The Ratchet & Clank Movie's In a Galaxy Not Far Away
Release date soon
It's going to be really interesting to see how Sony handles the Ratchet & Clank Movie, as we reckon that the platform holder could have a hit on its hands. No, the organisation's furry hero isn't a household name – but he certainly has the potential to be one if handled with the appropriate care and attention. Fortunately,...
News Sony's Cancelled Movie The Interview Is Out Now, But Not on PSN Yet
Called back
We know that companies change their minds all of the time, but this is insane. Sony previously said that it had no intention of ever releasing The Interview, but it's swiftly reversed that decision, and deployed the controversial flick – a day before its originally intended launch date. Clearly sensing dollar signs from all of the free...
Weirdness Sony Yanks The Interview Amid Intensifying Threats
Firm has no plans for future release

News This Killzone Movie Is Probably an Early April Fools' Day Prank
Hig budget
Out of all of Sony’s first-party franchises, Killzone is probably the least deserving of a big screen adaptation. There’s some immense fiction powering the property, but this is often substituted for one dimensional leads like Rico, who’d rather scream expletives than say anything of worth. As such, we’re pretty sure that...
