I hope you’re ready to explore a different kind of upside-down because Playstation Productions and Scott Free Productions are developing a film based on the 2012 action-adventure video game Gravity Rush. Shameless and Runaways director Anna Mastro is directing from a script by Emily Jerome (Panopticon).
In Sony’s topsy-turvy adventure, “players assume the role of Kat, a strong-willed girl trying to protect her future in a world crumbling to pieces,” reads the game’s official description. “With incredible gravity-altering abilities, Kat is the only one who can salvage the floating city of Hekseville – if only she could remember who she is…”
Sony released Gravity Rush on the Playstation Vita in 2012. After finding a dedicated audience on the handheld platform, Gravity Rush Remastered was released on the Playstation 4 in 2015 in Japan. The remastered version of the original adventure came to North America and Europe in 2016. Keiichiro Toyama, the creator of the Silent Hill,...

Exclusive: PlayStation Productions and Scott Free Productions have launched development on Gravity Rush—a film based on the 2012 action-adventure video game of the same name, which Anna Mastro (Secret Society of Second Born Royals) is attached to direct from a script by Emily Jerome (Panopticon).
The open-world PlayStation Vita game developed by Japan Studio’s Project Siren and published worldwide by Sony Computer Entertainment has players controlling Kat, an amnesiac with the ability to manipulate gravity, who uses her powers to defend the floating community of Hekseville from gravity storms, and the mysterious race of monsters known as the Nevi.
It’s not yet clear who will produce the Gravity Rush film. And while PlayStation Productions falls under the Sony umbrella, it’s similarly unclear whether the pic will be distributed by the studio.
On the feature side, Mastro most recently helmed and co-exec produced Disney+’s Secret Society of Second Born Royals,...

Ridley Scott will executive produce a thriller called “Panopticon” that is based on a script that landed on the Black List in 2017, and Agc Studios will finance and co-produce the film, the studio’s chairman and CEO Stuart Ford announced Thursday.
Andrés Baiz (“Narcos”) will direct “Panopticon” from the Black List script by Emily Jerome, and production is slated to begin this fall, with casting already underway.
The word “panopticon” refers to a prison designed in a round such that all the prisoners can be watched at once by a single guard, and because they can’t see when they’re being watched, they’re motivated to use good behavior.

Exclusive: Beau Flynn’s New Line/Warner Bros-based FlynnPictureCo. has optioned the Bryan Burrough Vanity Fair article “Fyre Festival: Anatomy of a Millennial Marketing Disaster Waiting to Happen.” It will be used as the basis for a narrative feature film that Emily Jerome (penned the Black List script Panopticon) will write, and which Tim Wardle is attached to direct. He’s coming off the breakout documentary Three Identical Strangers.
The package is being shopped, starting today. The film focuses on the disaster that was the Fyre Festival, billed as a luxury music Coachella-type gathering in the Bahamas. The event was cooked up by 25-year-old wannabe entrepreneur Billy MacFarland, who used his flair for social media messaging and his pal Ja Rule to lure moneyed young people into paying exorbitant prices for accommodations and entertainment.
Revelers found there were no luxury accommodations, nor any bands. There were tents that...
