‘Shadow of the Colossus’ to become a movie
By Steven Zeitchik and Borys Kit
Colo “Shadow of the Colossus” is heading to the big screen.
The colossally popular video game is being developed as a feature by producer Kevin Misher, who has set the project up at Sony; the studio’s sister division Sony Computer Entertainment is behind the video game.
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.
Justin Marks is the bright young lad who wrote the script for Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li that made the film such a rousing success (read: flop) so this is in good hands! From the early reports of the 20,000 Leagues movie, it will be terrible as well (and a prequel!) so expect Colossus to be a colossal pile of elephant feces. Somehow Justin Marks is also penning Suicide Squad (based on the comic book) and an adaption of Hack/Slash and He-Man! Justin Marks needs to be blasted into the sun.
