Heavy Rain... the movie

Warner Bros is serious about bringing the adaptation of the Playstation 3 video game, 'Heavy Rain,' to the big screen. According to Variety, scriptwriter David Milch will begin work on the script as soon as he's finished up writing the first season of the HBO series, 'Luck.'

Bob Shaye and Michael Lynne are attached to the film as producers. Speaking on Milch, Shaye said: "David Milch's incredible ability to transform intense and complex storylines into gripping, popular drama makes him the perfect partner for us to have on 'Heavy Rain.'"

I mean, yeah its got the whole game-to-movie thing going for (or against) it. But even though it was quite novel because it was a choose your own destiny type game that played out like a movie, will it be anything more than a regular detective story (which we've already seen plenty of) when it is made as a movie?

I guess the real question is, is the story enough to make a compelling movie that isn't just another basic detective movie with a couple of plot twists along the way?
