God of War Movie Optioned
by Maarten Goldstein, Jul 27, 2005 3:55am PDTVariety reports that Universal Pictures has secured the movie rights to God of War, the critically acclaimed Playstation 2 action game. Mosaic Media Group's Charles Roven and Alex Gartner are producing. Mosaic previously produced Elf and Scooby-Doo 2, as well as the upcoming The Brothers Grimm. No writer or director is attached to the project yet.
In the game, players can unleash the power of the Gods and embark on a merciless quest as Kratos, an ex-Spartan warrior driven to destroy Ares, the God of War. Armed with lethal double chainblades, Kratos must carve through mythology's darkest creatures-- including Medusa, Cyclops, the Hydra and more, while solving intricate puzzles in breathtaking environments. Driven by pure revenge, nothing can stop Kratos from achieving absolution.

as i child i really liked http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082186/ being nine (9) at the time, however, i was pretty stressed in the theatre during the Medusa scene. given that God of War is rated M, one would think the film version will/should be rated R. then again, the studio may sanitise the content to get that boxoffice sweetspot known as PG-13.

Anyway, with amazing sets and tons of CGI minotaurs and topless hotties, this movie could be cool. I have no faith the project though.
