CG trailer released for the upcoming film adaptation of the video game Heavenly Sword! [video]

Another video game is being turned into a film and this time it's the game Heavenly Sword on Playstation 3! The game is being transformed into a CG film and will star the voices of Anna Torv as Nariko, Alfred Molina as King Bohan, and Thomas Jane as Loki. It is being produced by Blockade Entertainment.

The first CG trailer has been released and it looks pretty cool. There have been other CG films made that look cleaner than this trailer but the creators are saying that, "We stayed true to much of the game story, with some twists mixed in," so the story could save it. The creators also make note that the film was a, "very small independent film, with a limited budget," and "We are wondering if some of the quality isn’t coming across due to the limitations on the video compression here. We are looking at releasing these teasers on PSN to show how much we improved the assets and sets." This could explain the quality. It's really not bad but just not top notch on this particular video.

Heavenly Sword is a dramatic tale of revenge that sees Nariko (Anna Torv), a fiery red-haired heroine, embark on a quest for vengeance against the invading King Bohan (Alfred Molina) and his army. Once considered the failure of a legendary prophesy, Nariko must wield a sword that was ultimately meant for another. This ancient Heavenly Sword, once belonging to a powerful deity, can never be wielded by a mortal without it slowly but inevitably killing them. For Nariko it is a race against time to avenge her clan before her life is irreparably overtaken by the omnipotent Heavenly Sword.

Heavenly Sword will be released in June 2014.
