Work seems to be progressing apace on an official InFamous movie, with screenwriter Sheldon Turner enlisted to work on the project, according to word today from the Hollywood Reporter.

"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," Turner explained.

"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."

A big money deal confirmed Turner's involvement we hear, the writer having previously worked on The Longest Yard, and is also planning a Top Cow comic book called Warrior.
