"We are working very closely with both Sony and Sucker Punch to make sure we are staying true to the franchise," says Brad Foxhoven, the film's producer and CEO of Blockade Entertainment. "Since we were altering the look of the characters and world into pure CG, it was important to keep them in the process. This included the script, the characters, models, and the cast. Of course we were nervous about the results, and breathed a massive sigh of relief when they gave their approval. Now we just have to wait for the fans"

Hit me with a cane and rob me blind if old...

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. In the film, Sly learns of his birth familys 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 Clans 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 worlds greatest thief-turned-hero.

Sly PS4 graphics

sn00zer · Jan 28, 2014

Oh god Murray....

Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew · Jan 28, 2014

I hope this means a Sly Cooper game for PS4 in 2015/2016 with similar visuals.

SolVanderlyn · Jan 28, 2014

Looks beautiful.

pcostabel · Jan 28, 2014

Looks awful.

sn00zer · Jan 28, 2014

Sly actually looks pretty damn cool...that Murray model though......why

NMFried · Jan 28, 2014

Gross. What kind of track record does this animation studio have?

Poltergust · Jan 28, 2014

Interesting... I've always thought it was more appropriate to make it a television show, though.

(Also, I'm not really digging Sly's design here.)

Razlo · Jan 28, 2014

I love Sly, but those redesigns make me sad (especially Murray).

BlackBuzzard · Jan 28, 2014

what happend to murray

KBMYAC · Jan 28, 2014

Can't wait to watch it. Looks beautiful

xxracerxx · Jan 28, 2014

Murray looks terrible...from the little we see Bentley looks better and Sly is passable.

cuyahoga · Jan 28, 2014

Is this the same company making the garbage Ratchet movie?

Ezalc · Jan 28, 2014

Oh god what the fuck have they done to Murray? Sly looks really baby faced too, but not as bad as Murray.

EDIT: Going from that little info, they're trying to mess with his origin story too? Sly always knew that he came from a family of thieves. I guess they're kind of trying to follow the first game but making a few changes to make it so there's a bit more drama. The first game is about Sly's revenge for what Clockwerk did to his parents and stealing his family's heirloom The Thievius Raccoonus.

Slixshot · Jan 28, 2014

this Kevin Munroe guy is heading 3 video game animated films at once... busy guy.

Yuripaw · Jan 28, 2014

Sly looks pretty cool I think. Never played the games before sadly. Not yet anyway.

Razlo · Jan 28, 2014

cuyahoga said:

Yes, and the Heavenly Sword movie.

wapplew · Jan 28, 2014

So we have Ratchet and Clank, Heavenly Swords and now Sly cooper movie coming soon.
What's next? Shadow of colossus movie or Uncharted?

Doctor Decimate · Jan 28, 2014

don't like the redesigns much and the director's track record is not very good.

Vylash · Jan 28, 2014

Wow Murray looks terrible

boredandlazy · Jan 28, 2014

The Murray looks horrible...

xxracerxx · Jan 28, 2014

Blockade seems new but here is a link to what Rainmaker has done.

Lots of Barbie movies recently, but they also worked on ReBoot and Transformers Beast Wars.

Byronic Hero · Jan 28, 2014

Sly looks decent, but Murray looks horrifying. So, I guess I'm cautiously optimistic.

Musolf815 · Jan 28, 2014

Not like this...I went from elated to...I don't know what...MURRAY?!?!

Blu(e) · Jan 28, 2014

Everyone looks off. Like REALLY off. Optimistic that this looks better in motion. Wonder if they're gonna sex up Carmelita.

Oh god

doemaaan · Jan 28, 2014

Wait... This has nothing to do with the ShackNews reveal right?

And Sly looks pretty awesome (took me 5 seconds to get used to it), but dat Murray.... O_O

sn00zer · Jan 28, 2014

I have more faith in the Ratchet movie.....

Ploid 3.0 · Jan 28, 2014

Murray was hit with a pretty vicious ugly stick

Byronic Hero · Jan 28, 2014

So the guy who is directing/writing this also did TMNT (2007). That movie was decent for what it was, so I guess he may do the story justice.

Hopefully everyone reprises their roles.

stonesak · Jan 28, 2014

Honestly, this is creeping me out. Much prefer Sly as a cartoon-style character.

The trailer at least had some humor in it and the characters are spot on.

Ratchet & Clank Movie Teaser

Banzai · Jan 28, 2014

Oh wow, Murray looks hilariously horrible. I don't see why they didn't just go with a style similar to the games? Either way I hope Dimitri's in it.

Agreed Dylan Dog though was just boring as hell

Aurongel · Jan 28, 2014

Murray looks like something Andy Serkis would play.

Serrenn · Jan 28, 2014

At first I was afraid its going to be one of those movies where hero is a cartoon and everyone else is a normal human filmed on camera, no idea why I thought that.

Good thing I was mistaken, yet I still keep my expectation at a very low level. Bracing for inevitable cringefest in advance. One thing for sure, not going to bring my friends to the cinema to watch this. If I had to suffer, let it be alone.

Oh god

Gotta bring in that furry money.

Drayco21 · Jan 28, 2014

This looks... well...the Ratchet movie looks really promising, at least. Maybe it'll look better in motion, and have a really solid script?

co1onel · Jan 28, 2014

That character design is... odd.

tiggerkiddo · Jan 28, 2014

Sly looks rather decent but Murray's face could use some work...if they fix that, it could be decent.

It seems to be an adaptation of the first game, so no Dimitri.

Evilisk · Jan 28, 2014

Not sure how to feel about it being not cel-shaded

But Murray looks awful that's for sure

Phire Phox · Jan 28, 2014

Sly looks great, but the Murray model looks shitty

overcast · Jan 28, 2014

I'm not sure how these will translate into movies. Sly and Ratchet make sense to a degree, Heavenly Sword doesn't. I doubt these light the world on fire financially, and even worse, not sure about the quality.

Ratchet probably has the best chance. I haven't heard of the studio, so doubts are high.

DracoBlade · Jan 28, 2014

I'm cautiously optimistic but (unless its indeed an authentic leak) a facebook page is a pretty terrible blunder lol

Could be an incredulously well rendered fan fake production. I'll be glad if its true however!

MURRAY NOOOOOOOOO

VeeP · Jan 28, 2014

Hopefully this means more Sly games. They're really fun and enjoyable. The characters are awesome too. I wouldn't mind a "mini" Sly Cooper games like Quest for Booty every year for $20.

Deleted member 22576 · Jan 28, 2014

For some reason I just really like Sly Cooper. I've never played any of the games and would never want to but I just really like the character and brand.
