Sony to adapt Shadow of the Colossus game to film
Sony will adapt the popular PlayStation 2 video game Shadow of the Colossus into a big-screen action movie, with Justin Marks penning the screenplay and Kevin Misher in negotiations to produce, Variety reported.
Colossus, which bowed exclusively on the PlayStation 2 in 2005, revolves around a man named Wander who must travel across a cursed wasteland and defeat 16 creatures, known as the colossi, in order to restore the life of a girl.
The movie will build on the video game's fantasy setting of a solitary world with few characters other than the 16 enemies.
Colossus is the latest high-profile project for Marks, who is writing the redo of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: Captain Nemo at Disney, with McG attached to direct.

Oh god, such a bad idea. The game is a pure gaming experience with little plot, it won't translate into a movie well. I would only trust an adaptation of this to someone of supreme talent and artistic vision, like David Fincher or Spike Jonze.

Why do they feel the to adapt all these video games into movies. Most of them don't have enough plot to make a feature length film. That last Street Fighter film with Chun Li was bad enough. No more video game movies!!! There are so many great Sci-Fi and Fantasy novels waiting to be made.

As Andrew79 already pointed out, most video games don't have enough plot to make a feature length film. That goes double for this one. It didn't have a plot at all. It was just one boss battle after another. Even the game got boring. Pretty lame idea.
