Would have liked a series so we can see him find a colossus, think up strategies, take out a colossus, do a flash back to him before he went to the valley. Repeat. Slowly showing him get more sick as each episode progresses and eating lizard to boost himself.
Can’t believe your mom’s shadow is getting a movie
I know Shadow of the Colossus is the bigger name. But ICO would make such a better movie.
Shadow of the Colossus is a PS3 game right? I assume it is because I’ve never played it and the PS3 was the only PlayStation I never had. Also the same reason I never played Last Of Us.
As far as I’m aware there has never been a sequel, I know there’s been remakes but never an actual sequel. Seems like a really odd game to pick, when there are so many actually currently developed titles that have better name recognition.
The Last Guardian was the next game in the ICO trilogy.
Whenever people talk about games as art, Shadow of the Colossus is guaranteed to be brought up.
Originally 2005 ps2. Prequel to ICO.
It was a major game at the time which is why it was ported to ps3. It had a bit in secret level but a full episode would be amazing.
They’ll make that into a tv show 10 years later.
Which is also annoying because The Last Guardian would make a perfect TV show.
I honestly have no idea how I’d approach writing the script for a movie about Shadow of the Colossus. It’s one of the few games where the sense of discovery, wondering alone in a desolate landscape is such an integral part of the experience, that removing it and turning it into a movie would ruin the experience imho.
I’m not hating on the movie before it even releases, mind you. I’m just saying that I certainly wouldn’t know how to do it, and that it seems, to me, an odd pick. Would 100% watch it if it’s good.
I think you could do a fair bit by following the priest and his soldiers that are chasing Wander more than the game did. He can provide exposition to the soldiers as they travel, seeing more and more pillars of light in the distance as they do so. Have some banter along the way to get us to like one or two or the soldiers as well. Play up this party’s protagonist energy.
In the meantime, let Wander talk to Dormin more. Dormin remains honest and helpful throughout the game, so I think you could easily add in concern for Wander and curioisity about why he’s doing what he is doing. “What a strange, fascinating little mortal. We do hope he knows what he’s doing.”
I suppose you could probably only show maybe three colossus fights max, including the ending. Picking which ones get done in full would be tough. First one almost certainly has to be on the list. I think the giant flying serpent in the desert is probably the best one visually, so that’d be my other pick
This director did the 2023 Flash film, so if it comes out I’m probably going to pretend it didn’t
If they actually budget in a decent amount for CGI and don’t give a wife beater a role like in Flash it might be still enjoyable to watch to kill some time on a boring Sunday afternoon at home.
Oh shit, dead in the water for me also.
So… Is the movie mostly without dialogue or just 1 character who talks to nobody in particular? This is one thing I can not see being anywhere close to what the original is like, because the game wouldn’t really make a good movie if they were faithful to the story.
I remember it a little different.
im pretty sure they already made a shadow of the colossus movie staring adam sandler, don cheadle, and pearl jam.
