It was reported that Sony Pictures would adapt Shadow of the Colossus into a film. Kevin Misher, producer of The Scorpion King, The Interpreter and the upcoming Dune film, is negotiating to produce. The script is being written by Justin Marks, who wrote Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li.

Suskie - June 11, 2009 (05:47 PM) Yeah, some guy is giving another stab at the franchise. Hey, it can't possibly be worse than Lynch's version. |

WilltheGreat - June 11, 2009 (11:22 PM) Well yeah, but the miniseries is apretty tough act to follow. It also demonstrated rather well that Dune is a hard story to tell without going four and a half hours longer than any theatre audience is willing to sit. |

zippdementia - June 12, 2009 (03:44 PM) I mean... the only way you could do it justice would be to have it as minimalistic as the game was. I just fear they'll introduce a rebel faction that works as a group to take down giant monsters for the good of humanity. Ugh. If I was forced to write a script for SotC, I would have to go classic fantasy adventure/action with it. Something along the lines of a mix between Never Ending Story and Legend, with a little Last Unicorn tossed in for good measure. I'd probably be forced to give him another companion in the style of Ladyhawk, just because a film is based around character interaction. And right there... you have the reason why this can never be a film. |
