Shadow of the Colossus To Become a Movie 72
Sockatume writes "SCE's critically acclaimed Shadow of the Colossus is set to become a feature film. The cult boss-rush game will be adapted by Justin Marks, who also wrote the recent Chun-Li movie. A friend of the writer reports that the studio hopes to turn it into an LotR-style fantasy blockbuster, expanding upon the side characters in the original game's minimalistic and solitary storyline. This won't be the game's first trip to Hollywood, however. 2007's Reign Over Me featured characters playing the game, at the suggestion of editor Jeremy Roush."

You mean the movie which has a metacritic score of 17% [metacritic.com] (tied for 89th on their bottom 100) and a rotten tomatoes score of 4% [rottentomatoes.com]? The only way we'll ever see a proper screen adaptation of a video game is if we stop hiring talentless hacks to write the scripts.
