Shadow of the Colossus movie planned
Author: Joe MartinPublished: 8th April 2009
The Shadow of the Colossus film will be produced by Kevin Misher and written by Justin Marks.
And if you liked Shadow of the Colossus then we recommend that you stop reading there - the rest is all bad news.
According to the Hollywood Reporter's Risky Biz Blog, Sony has already started attaching some names to the film, none of which are likely to inspire confidence in fans of the title.
The screenplay for the adaptation will apparently be penned by Justin Marks, who's most recent writing credit is the universally panned Street Fighter: Legend of Chun-Li action film starring Kirsten Kreuk. The film will be produced by Kevin Misher, who previously worked on The Scorpion King. Ugh.
Shadow of the Colossus tells the story of a hero called Wander and his horse Agro who embark on a quest to slay several massive enemies called Collosi in an effort to save a girl called Mono. The game itself was remarkably sparse in terms of dialogue and for the majority of the game the only characters you see are the hero and his horse - so a film adaptation should be interesting, to say the least.
There's currently no release date announced for the film, nor any other details, but we'll be sure to keep you updated on any news we hear. In the meantime, let us know your thoughts on the game and the film in the forums.

Game = Good. Movie? Probably bad.
Damn you Goty, You beat me to it. ;)
If Sony wants to make a movie out of one of their games, why don't they do it with a Metal Gear or Xenosaga installation? They're practically movies as it is, anyway.
Ah! A Xenosaga movie would be the s**t, loved that game. Wasn't it made by Monolith though (what a fail, can't even remember for one of my most favorite games)? I think I might replay the whole series again. :P
this might be good who knows though- sony has alot of money and all it takes is one nipplehead to ruin it.. hope it's like dune- I liked that movie
oh hell no! can you imagine trying to pack the understanding of U-DO and the UMN into a 90 min film?!
i shudder at the thought
what he said... *sigh* why does 'hollywood' insist on making shitty video game movies :( .. we shall never know
A movie would be good in the right hands....these guys are destined to screw it up....
hehe it's actually something worth seeing.. not something you'd see outside the editors room.. like even the boss at the end had stickers on his body for the cgi guys to finish up
if you have a problem with piracy.. that's your issues.. I been around since the 8 bit days, to me it's nothing new or exciting, just is what it is.. the cams are usually total crap- better to see it in the theater.. this one is in 720p =] dunno who leaked it but they probably got fired by now.. any x-men fan should definitely watch this
On topic: Movies based on games rarely seem to appease the gaming community. If I have not played the game, I typically enjoy the movie. However, if a movie is based off of a game that I have played, the experience usually seems to be disappointing. Usually, the same can be said for movies based off of books. There are some exceptions, however, Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter do a good job at following the books. On the other hand, I was not all that impressed with many of the movies based off of Tom Clancy or Stephen King novels
