Shadow of the Colossus Becoming Actual Movie
by Chris Faylor, Apr 07, 2009 10:18pm PDTSony and Team Ico's beloved PlayStation 2 adventure game Shadow of the Colossus is set to become an actual feature film, claim Variety and The Hollywood Report.
The film will be written by Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li scribe Justin Marks, with The Scorpion King and Dune remake producer Kevin Misher serving as producer.
Variety adds that some of the smaller characters from the solitary game may be given more prominent roles in the movie, such as the men hunting protagonist Wander.
Released in 2005, the game centers around one man's quest to bring his beloved, Mono, back to life. To do this, Wander and his steed Agro must explore the vast open-world to discover and defeat 16 giant colossi--the only enemies in the game.

Do videogame movies even make money anymore?
To do the game justice you'd have to take a very minimalist approach to the storytelling and get a director that could let a landscape tell its own story. Which is about the opposite of what's likely to happen.

This is truly depressing to hear. The people involved spell all sorts of fail.
Not to mention the charm of the game was its bleak minimalism and obscured plot, the exact thing none of these people have any grasp on how to convey in a film.
This will end in tears.
