MUMBAI: It is generally seen Shadow of the Colossus is heading to the big screen. The popular video game is being developed as a feature by producer Kevin Misher, who has set the project up at Sony.
Justin Marks, the go-to young scribe who‘s writing 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea for McG at Disney, is attached to pen the script.
Colossus which was developed for the PlayStation 2 was released in the U.S. in 2005. It quickly became a huge hit as well as a critical favourite. The game centers on the character Wander, who along with his horse Agro travels across a Western-style landscape to defeat enemies known as Collosi, with Wander‘s larger aim to save the girl Mono.
Unlike many other games, Colossus is dominated by a minimalist landscape and lacks ensemble characters; instead, the challenge lies in locating the remote Colossi and uncovering their weaknesses through a series of puzzle-like challenges. Its scenes as well as its soundtrack are regarded by many as highly cinematic.
