  EXCLUSIVE: An auction of screen rights for the PlayStation3 game Heavy Rain is coming to a close. I'm told a deal is near with Unique Features, the film shingle started by Bob Shaye and Michael Lynne after they exited New Line.
  
  Using their own money, Shaye and Lynne posted top bid in an auction held by CAA on behalf of game developers Quantic Dream.
  
  Heavy Rain has sold 1 million units since its release in February. The game's combination of murder, rain and an inherent atmospheric gloom evokes memories of the David Fincher-directed Seven, one of the formative blockbusters at New Line when Shaye and Lynne grew that company into a rival to the majors.
  
  Players hunt the “Origami Killer,” a serial murderer who drowns his victims four days after they are abducted, leaving only a small origami figure and an orchid on the corpse. The game becomes a procedural in which four characters try to solve the crime after another potential victim is kidnapped.
  
  Unique has a first look deal with Warner Bros, but Shaye liked it enough to use his own money and not wait for approval to buy it. A deal should be sealed shortly.

  Oh god, there goes the game. Maybe it would be like one of those other movies based on games and it would hopefully get canceled ;D.

  What the hell is the point? D:
  Just have some guy screencap a perfect play-through of the game and you have your movie. This is literally what I did, my cousin played the game and I ate popcorn while watching.

  isn't it awesome to be too lazy to actually play games to enjoy them :P?

  Yeah I really don't see the movie being any good.
  Sine the game was based on the players decisions or else I heard wrong I wonder how the movie will translate this.

  The only game I could see working as a movie would be Spore. The only way that would work is if it was done as a parody of nature documentaries.

  Unlike everyone else, I think this is a great idea. Too bad its gonna be rated R ;<

  Of course a 12 year old wouldn't agree with us older kids.
  
  Seeing as we've seen more movies than you have in our lifetime, I'll chalk it up to inexperience.
  
  Anyone remember Blood Rayne?
  
  Terrible.

  You too? I watched some guy trying to be a douche, and make all the wrong choices xD. He's commentary was very funny though.

  I heard about this. Let's hope they get actual American kids for the movie. Or better yet, let's hope it doesn't happen.
