It'll be shown at Cannes so probably in July or it might have been delayed to next year around April along with the new game. Thread for the movie now that we have more info.

And gameplay!
CHADhan Player.
This is just what I needed after that new Sonic Boom announcement.

Face me now, Bitch!
Honestly looking at the gameplay video makes me sad because Naughty Dog and Sucker Punch ditched Jak and Sly.
I loved those three franchises
I wasn't really looking forward to this game until I saw those two trailers.
Now I'm hyped!
Dreamkeepers Prelude, check it out!
WOAH
Man, that is looking good! Shame we'll have to wait almost a year to play it, but that's almost Pixar quality!
It's sort of amazing to think that Insomniac couldn't make a weapon like the Pixelator until this current generation of consoles, huh? That's just a hilarious level of irony right there.
HAAAA!
The Blargian Snagglebeast has taken a level in badass, I see. I thought it was cool that old weapons like Mr Zurkon, the Groovitron and even the Predator Launcher have been brought back. I hope the Suck Cannon, Morph-o-Ray and Rift Inducer make it in.

I would complain about most of the returning weapons being from games that aren't the original (seriously, the only one from there that's been shown is the Pyrocitor), but as the movie (and thus, the new game) is more of a retelling than a straight up movie version of the first game, I think I can forgive the slights against the game canon.
Lampshade Hanging: It's a lifestyle.
Some quotes on that from the team:
"There probably will always be more Ratchet adventures down the line."
Into The Nexus had few weapons but at least they were all interesting.

So, this is not a full-on Continuity Reboot? Would any prospective future instalments still take place post-Into the Nexus?
WOAH
I think they said that the framing device for the game is that Quark is recounting Ratchet and Clank's origin story. If this is true, there's a chance that this game could actually be in canon with the rest of the series.

Pretty much
is on the verge of a great collapse today
It's still a Continuity Reboot tho.
After actually seeing the game I don't even have a problem with it anymore. I was really worried this was gonna be like Sonic Boom was to Sonic, but thankfully those fears have been abated. Honestly rebooting the story for the movie makes sense, newbies are gonna pick up the game after seeing the movie, and the movie starts from the beginning so it works out well. Also, the first Ratchet and Clank was pretty mediocre even compared to the everything after (and including) the second one so this is sorta change to "do-over" things.
Also I remember that The Pixelator was a fan sumbission for a fan-gun contest for Crack In Time but Insomniac said that they couldn't do it on PS 3 due to hardware restrictions.
I do hope they bring back some of the iconic sequences from the first game.
The flooding sequence from Blackwater City and the Battleship self destruct escape come to mind.
Apocalypse: Dirge Of Swans.
WOAH
They've got the Blargian Snagglebeast and hoverboards from the first game, so I wouldn't be surprised if some of those things got carried over too.
HAAAA!
The train from Metropolis is back too, and it's been given an Adaptation Expansion.

why does Destiny have a weapons page and not Ratchet and Clank?

HAAAA!
Maybe nobody had thought to make one until now? You could start making one if you like, the weapons of Ratchet and Clank are certainly memorable enough to justify it. One suggestion would be to ask a mod to check if it's OK first just in case, but you said Destiny's weapons have their own page, so I don't think it would be a problem.

okay...when i click on the "create new" button i just get some predetermined choices...and none of them are a "weapons" page

Already posted it elsewhere, but....
NEW TRAILER FOR THE MOVIE HAS DROPPED!!
That was kinda a bad trailer, the narrator got real annoying and was in the way.
They do seem to be adding elements and characters from 1, 3 and deadlocked though.
With the writer of the R&C Future series on board, the original voice cast for the main characters plus other big name stars, and what's looking so far to be Pixar-quality animation, this movie is looking to be amazing!
Now if only they'd give us an actual release date.
