I was looking into the Heavenly Sword animated movie that was in the works ages ago.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2006753/
It has long been thought dead since we didn't get a sequel to the game nor heard anything since. I looked into the producer's (Brad Foxhoven's) LinkedIn
http://www.linkedin.com/in/bradfoxhoven
He is the CEO and Founder of Blockade Entertainment
http://www.blockade.com/
They basically make tv shows and films based on videogames and their engines/assets.
So it is likely they are making the Heavenly Sword movie based on the fact the CEO and Founder is also the Producer of the HS film.
This is just the foundation of the real discovery. I came across this website that listed the status of the Heavenly Sword movie, more accurately than IMdB. They also list possible feature films for Ratchet and Clank, Jak & Daxter, Sly Cooper and Modnation Racers.

Looking at their statuses some are in preproduction and some are in development. With the Heavenly Sword film to be released soonish, I'm assuming if it does well, that these other franchises might well get the film treatment.
Probably PSN/Straight-to-DVD-or-Bluray/Collectors Edition bonuses rather than cinema films, but that's just me guessing.
Still, interesting to see Sony looking to broaden the appeal/brand of these largely younger audience franchises.
EDIT: Films mysteriously missing now, see my post here of the cover up/hiding
