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

Would have liked a series so we can see him find a colossus, think up strategies, take out a colossus, do a flash back to him before he went to the valley. Repeat. Slowly showing him get more sick as each episode progresses and eating lizard to boost himself.

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

Shadow of the Colossus is a PS3 game right? I assume it is because I’ve never played it and the PS3 was the only PlayStation I never had. Also the same reason I never played Last Of Us.
As far as I’m aware there has never been a sequel, I know there’s been remakes but never an actual sequel. Seems like a really odd game to pick, when there are so many actually currently developed titles that have better name recognition.

The Last Guardian was the next game in the ICO trilogy.
Whenever people talk about games as art, Shadow of the Colossus is guaranteed to be brought up.

Originally 2005 ps2. Prequel to ICO.
It was a major game at the time which is why it was ported to ps3. It had a bit in secret level but a full episode would be amazing.

They’ll make that into a tv show 10 years later.
GeneralEmergency@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Which is also annoying because The Last Guardian would make a perfect TV show.

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.

Can’t believe your mom’s shadow is getting a movie
Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 3 months ago
I would watch that.

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.
