I honestly have no idea how I’d approach writing the script for a movie about Shadow of the Colossus. It’s one of the few games where the sense of discovery, wondering alone in a desolate landscape is such an integral part of the experience, that removing it and turning it into a movie would ruin the experience imho.

So… Is the movie mostly without dialogue or just 1 character who talks to nobody in particular? This is one thing I can not see being anywhere close to what the original is like, because the game wouldn’t really make a good movie if they were faithful to the story.

Like that matters to them.

im pretty sure they already made a shadow of the colossus movie staring adam sandler, don cheadle, and pearl jam.

My eyes read “pearl jam”. My brain read “pearl jam”. But my memory of what “pearl jam” was, deleted “pearl jam” and inserted “space jam”.
So even though I was reading and thinking pearl jam, I was also remembering that pearl jam is a 1990s half live action, half cartoon movie starring the looney toons and micheal jordan in an attempt to play basketball better than some aliens for some reason.
That’s pearl jam, alright?

This makes me want to hear the “Quad City DJs - Space Jam” theme sung by Eddie Vedder

Hoping it’s obscure and artsy fartsy so I can make up the story. Otherwise they will fuck it up.

I recently watched Flow and with enough care and effort a movie doesn’t need dialog to be impactful and well done. There is often a large gulf between what is possible and what they’re going to do but I’ll be interested to see where this goes

Well. I notice the headline doesn’t say the movie has a GOOD script.
Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 22 hours ago
I would watch that.

Imknwo Shadow of the Colossus is the bigger name. But ICO would make such a better movie.
