Sony

(http://www.joblo.com/shadow-of-colossus-movie#)is bringing one of their own properties to life (via lots and lots of CGI, no doubt), namely SHADOW OF THE COLOSSUS.


The popular Playstation (http://www.joblo.com/shadow-of-colossus-movie#)2 (no relation to Marvel's metallic mutant) was set in a mythical world and involved a warrior engaging in combat with a series of gargantuan and occasionally infuriating boss creatures.

The script is being written by Justin Marks, the apparent sole survivor of Screenwriter (http://www.joblo.com/shadow-of-colossus-movie#) Thunderdome judging by the fact that he's now doing almost every big project based on a property (including but not limited to 20,000 LEAGUES BENEATH THE SEA, HE-MAN, HACK/SLASH, VOLTRON, SUICIDE SQUAD, GREEN ARROW: SUPERMAX and the best-forgotten STREET FIGHTER: THE LEGEND OF CHUN-LI).


I'm wondering just how it can be pulled off...but if this gets the full treatment, it could be good.

Sounds interesting, I haven't played much of the game, but this could make a good movie.

Game is brilliant but not movie material. This isn't going to work in the slightest, with the only redeeming qualities possibly being the sheer scale and size of the film to contain the Colossi and vast environments.

Hopefully they'll nail that feeling. Yet plot-wise, the game lacked a real plot and was more or less save someone by killing giants, so how that will be fleshed out, I do not know.

Yup, for it too work as a movie they'll be adding another 99% of plot to the game's 1%; so it'll suck (probably).

I think there's something wrong here. Look at the writer =/
