The Ratchet & Clank animated movie will feature the voices of some high-end Hollywood talent, including actors Paul Giamatti, John Goodman, and Sylvester Stallone.

Rainmaker Entertainment and Blockade Entertainment announced the cast today for the theatrical feature based on Insomniac’s iconic PlayStation video game franchise. The cast announcement shows that Ratchet & Clank are getting a big-budget Hollywood treatment. That’s only fair, since Ratchet & Clank has sold more than 26 million copies during its long history in video games dating back to 2002 on the PlayStation 2.
