It looks like the Shadow of the Colossus movie you've completely forgotten about isn't an “abandoned project by any means.”

You may not remember it Shadow of the Colossus a movie is in the works, but yes, and while it's been quiet for years, it's not dead in the water.

Way back in the year of 2009, Sony announced that a film adaptation of the PS2 classic Shadow of the Colossus was in the works. Back then, game adaptations weren't as frequent as they are now, so such an announcement might have come as a surprise, especially with the source material. That was 16 years ago though, and times have changed – Sony has just announced a a couple from movies this week, of course. You would think that after all this time, and with so few updates, that nothing would go wrong with it, but no! In 2014 The Flash and It director Andy Muschietti was attached to the project after Chronicle director Josh Trank dropped out.

Now, as reported by Reconnect (and translated by TheGamer), Muschietti has shared an update with Argentinian radio station Radio TU, against all odds. “The film has been in development for 10 years, and now the potential has opened up,” explained Muschietti, going on to say that it was “by no means an abandoned project The director admitted he wasn't a big player, but for him Shadow of the Colossus was a “masterpiece”, and said the film adaptation even has a script he likes “many”.

Production has not yet begun on the project, with Muschietti noting that “there are factors that have nothing to do with your desire to do it, but with the importance of intellectual property like this.” Shadow of the Colossus is a cult game, but to make a good movie, there are studios that put the numbers and say how much is worth giving the director 200, 150, or 100 million dollars There are different versions of the film, and obviously, I want them to give me 200 million, but this is another reason to pay attention.”

It is not wrong. Shadow of the Colossus is a game that is universally loved, but it is not exactly the most popular game ever made, even if it is an influential game. Personally, I think this one should be left alone, but hey, where there's IP, there's money to be made, right Sony?
