Unique Features has acquired the rights to produce a movie based on the video game Heavy Rain.

According to Deadline, the studio was the highest bidder when the screen rights for the property were auctioned by CAA on behalf of developer Quantic Dream.

Owned by former New Line Cinema execs Bob Shaye and Michael Lynne, Unique Features already had a 'first-look' deal in place with Warner Bros. for the project, but the duo opted to invest independently.

Heavy Rain was released as a PS3 exclusive in February. It has since sold over one million copies worldwide.
