Sly Cooper Movie Coming to Theatres in 2016 [With Trailer]

[BaneTheDestroyer]

Sly Cooper is set to get the movie treatment, courtesy of Blockade Entertainment and Rainmaker Entertainment. Described as a "kinetic and comedic heist film" starring the titular raccoon, the Sly Cooper movie is an animated CG affair, directed and written by Kevin Munroe.

"Sly Cooper is a kinetic and comedic heist film that tells the story of Sly Cooper, an orphaned raccoon thief, along with his childhood friends and partners in crime, Bentley Turtle and Murray Hippo," reads the press release. "In the film, Sly learns of his birth family’s secret legacy; that he comes from a long line of talented and international thieves. Endowed with this knowledge, Sly and his friends are catapulted into a global adventure as they race to reassemble pieces of an ancient book holding The Cooper Clan’s family secrets before it can fall into the hands of Clockwerk – an evil Russian metallic owl bent on ending the Cooper family line.

"From romantic Parisian backdrops to the lush mountains of China, gritty film noir meets bright, colorful graphic novels in this origin story of the world’s greatest thief-turned-hero."

The Sly Cooper movie is scheduled to launch in cinemas, theatres, multiplexes or whatever sometime in 2016.

I'm pretty excited about this. First I've heard of it too, lol.

...And this is in the comics section why?

[pinksparklepuff]

Because they're competing with Rocket Raccoon for most huggable hero.

'Course, hugging Rocket will be the last thing you ever do.

I'm confused as to why this is even a thing. It's a movie based off of a moderately successful game series that basically ended a few years ago.

I don't know why this is in the comics section....I posted it in the movies section and it appeared here, lol? :confused:

Here's where I feel like as the only fan here I have to give an opinion on it. Theives in Time (the series 4th installment was pretty good a few flaws) A little bummed Sony isn't making it but there hands are full with the Ratchet & Clank movie. Ironically the vlice actor of the main charachter has started a campaign for an animated series. I doubt  it'll happen and we don't even know if Ratchet & Clank has a big enough following for THAT to even be a moderate success. Let alone a Sly Cooper movie which I would consider less successful  as a franchise than Ratchet & Clank is. So we (and by we I mean myself since no one else on this forum gives a rats a**) Will just have to see how the waters tes.

Knight a forth installment was actually released a little over a year ago. Just thought I'd share some info. But seeing as Sony has had several cartoonish charachters in a similar veign. I think these movies could prove. To be a good idea. But might bomb considering the video game communities unwillingness to support franchises outside of video games (mostly because most film adaptions of video games have been terrible)

Ironically I look T my assessment of this as I do with most things Sony puts out in the form of gaming (If it works it could prove profitable and establish a trend that will get old in half a decade. If it bombs they'll put not an ounce of effort into fixing the problems and drop the venture all together see PS move and Playstaton All Stars and maybe Vita to an extent but they're actually trying to dig themselves out of the whole they placed Bita in upon launch)
