Various sources indicate that Shadow of the Colossus is being made into a film. Kevin Misher is said to be producing the feature which is under development at Sony Pictures Entertainment (sibling to the game’s publisher Sony Computer Entertainment) while Justin Marks will be in charge of the script (who also penned Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li).

Shadow of the Colossus was released across North America for the PS2 in 2005 and quickly became something of a cult hit among videogamers. The game comes from the makers of ICO and sees players assuming the role of a young warrior named Wander who is desperate to save the love of his life, Mono. Armed with only a sword, bow and your trusty steed Agro, you are plunged into this quest to conquer 16 Colossi in order to save the young woman.

Read our review of Shadow of the Colossus to see why we thought that “The transition between entertainment and art was blurred for me through my experience of ‘playing’ this title. The sheer majestic nature of the Colossi, sweeping vistas and haunting music meshed so perfectly I was captivated at every moment. A masterfully constructed creation that transcends all that one could account for in a review … get it, experience it and be changed by it!”
