Josh Trank (Chronicle director) has signed on with Sony Pictures to make the film adaption for Shadow of the Colossus, a well recieved video game for the PS2.

This is somewhat interesting, I want to see how they develop this into a cinema script since most of the game was told through the game mechanics rather than dialogue.

I am rather thankful that Josh Trank is doing it as I have a feeling that he would be one of the few people that could pull something like this off.

NO *dolphin noise* W-

I am just thankful they decided to scrap the script that was made by Justin Marks (Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li)

Just remembered, is that God of War movie still in the works?

The one that has the script where Kratos decided to go into hell to fight Hades at the end of the movie?

...cause I actually want to see that, mainly because I saw the direction the games took and believe not going that story path might actually be a good idea.

I don't think it is going to be made. Having someone sign on doesn't mean much to me since people agree to a project then leave it later on or get fired before anything happens constantly, so unless they actually start shooting the movie I will remain skeptical.

remind me again of any good video game to movie adaptations. Im running a blank.

I fell asleep in the first 20 minutes of the game.

I'll fall asleep before the title is shown in the movie.



Pokemon.

Even THAT is debatable.

The only decent adaptation that comes to mind is Prince of Persia, and I wouldn't go as far as saying it was cinematic gold.

Well if you're willing to bring in animated movies, the Street Fighter II anime movie was, though not without it's flaws, very very good and entertaining.
