| MTV Films has acquired the feature film rights to Marc Ecko’s upcoming videogame, “Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure.†According to Ecko, the film version will pay homage to “graffiti’s rich culture.†The game centers around a fictional city called New Radius, where freedom of expression and graffiti has been outlawed. Players assume the role of Trane and must learn various graffiti skills in order to expose the tyrannical mayor of the city. Sean “Diddy†Combs, The RZA, MC Serch, Rosario Dawson, Brittany Murphy and others have signed on to provide voices for the game, which is slated for a Feb. 2006 release date. "When I first began working on "Getting Up" seven years ago, I wanted to create a storyline that provided a rare look inside of one of the most influential, yet often overlooked, artistic movements in recent history,†Ecko said. “Today, graffiti is a global cultural phenomenon and few understand its impact better than MTV, pioneers in its use as a motion graphics tool nearly two decades ago.â€
