This just in: Palladium Books has just announced that Walt Disney Pictures has licensed the film rights to the RIFTS role-playing game. Under the agreement, Jerry Bruckheimer Films will develop the RIFTS movie for Disney.

Disney will also handle all product licensing associated with the picture.


RIFTS has been around for more than a decade. Designed as a paper-and-pen role-playing game, the game is set in a future time when dimensional rifts have decimated the Earth and a menagerie of fantastical creatures and beings now traverse the planet. Vampires, dragons, cyberpunks, warriors, aliens, cyborgs and many equally as strange characters have built empires and declared war on the human survivors. The RPG has spun off into original novels and miniatures.

Played a lot of RPGs when I was younger, but never tested RIFTS, but a few of my friends loved it. And its a perfect setup for a cool CGI movie
