Shadow of the Colossus To Become a Movie

Posted by Soulskill on from the since-street-fighter-did-so-well dept.

Sockatume writes "SCE's critically acclaimed Shadow of the Colossus is set to become a feature film. The cult boss-rush game will be adapted by Justin Marks, who also wrote the recent Chun-Li movie. A friend of the writer reports that the studio hopes to turn it into an LotR-style fantasy blockbuster, expanding upon the side characters in the original game's minimalistic and solitary storyline. This won't be the game's first trip to Hollywood, however. 2007's Reign Over Me featured characters playing the game, at the suggestion of editor Jeremy Roush."

    I'm a massive SotC fan (I've got a tattoo)

    Oh, well, I didn't realize a little skin ink made you a "massive fan."

    You want to know what a real fan does? I have a horse in my backyard named Agro ... which turned out to be a lot more expensive than I had initially thought (stupid PETA). I have the first sigil painted on the hood of my car which also turned out to be expensive when a policeman decided it was an oversized advertisement for a game and fined me for not having the vehicle commercially registered. My license plate reads WANDER. I have painted the shadows of the colossi on the sides of my house. On weekends when I'm not at work, I only communicate in the made up language from the game. Also I have a blow up doll of Mono that I make love to every night.

    Ball's in your court, "fan."
