inFamous Getting The Movie Script Treatment

Hollywood is looking at picking up yet another video game for a film treatment. inFamous, released only just this past May for PlayStation 3, is the latest. The Hollywood Reporter reports Sony Pictures has picked up a pitch from screenwriter Sheldon Turner, who also wrote the The Longest Yard remake.

Hollywood producers Avi Arad and Ari Arad, also working on potential Uncharted: Drake's Fortune and Mass Effect films, have been tapped to produce.

"What excited me most about the game was it was the first of which I've come across that had a big idea and a character arc," said Turner to The Hollywood Reporter about his approach. "It is, I believe, the future of gaming. The game, while big and fun, is at its core a love ballad to the underachiever, which is what our hero, Cole McGrath, is."

inFamous is a long, long ways away from becoming a movie, but like so many others, someone is trying to make it happen. Do you think it's a good idea?
