Briefly: I sure hope that following this release Ratchet & Clank become again relevant enough to actually be featured in a good video game again (I don’t think that the remaster/re-imagining really counts, but we’ll see).
After a long, long silence, the full trailer for next year’s Ratchet & Clank film has just debuted online.
In the film, “Two unlikely heroes struggle to stop a vile alien named Chairman Drek from destroying every planet in the Solana Galaxy. Ratchet is the last of his kind, a foolhardy “lombax” who has grown up alone on a backwater planet with no family of his own. Clank is a pint-sized robot with more brains than brawn. When the two stumble upon a dangerous weapon capable of destroying entire planets, they must join forces with a team of colorful heroes called The Galactic Rangers in order to save the galaxy. Along the way, they will learn about heroism, friendship, and the importance of discovering one’s own identity.”
With a script from Kevin Munroe, Gerry Swallow, and Insomniac Senior Writer TJ Fixman, I’d wager that the film will retain the excellent feel and humour of the Playstation series. It’s pretty clearly represented in this trailer, which really brings me back to some of my early teenage years. Wow.
And I haven’t even mentioned the cast yet. Ratchet & Clank stars Paul Giamatti, John Goodman, Bella Thorne, Rosario Dawson, Jim Ward, James Arnold Taylor, David Kaye, Armin Shimerman, and Sylvester Stallone. Yep.
Take a look at the trailer below, and let us know what you think! Ratchet & Clank hits theatres on April 29th, 2016!
