Shadow Of The Colossus has been announced to be made as a featured film by SONY PICTURES, produced Kevin Misher and screenplay written by Justin Marks.
Colossus is one of my favourite titles in the pile of 40+ PS2 games I have. Although it really only has 16 colossi bosses to fight, each had very unique gameplay methods and the way to get to each of them was quite the journey itself with stunning scenery. Travelling from beach, to vast grasslands, to deep and dark ruins and caves, to deserts and if you stopped every now and then you'd find intersting details nearly everywhere. The Colossus are the main feature and my favourite Colossi was the Flying Serpent in the desert.
There is really no way for me to review this game, you must experience it yourself to really know how amazing it is.
Now that the fact Hollywood is making the movie makes me feel "OMG, not another game -> movie adaption". Colossus, like the Metal Gear Solid series, has a very cinematic feel already and should be left alone but it would be very interesting see how they'd take with it. Problem may be that Justin Marks is screenwritting it, who wrote the screenplay for the recent Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li. Although, do we blame SF's epic F 'cause of the scriptwriter or the director? This is just early news so things may change, or event get canceled *cough wink*
Long story short, I dislike the idea, but would be interesting to see how it turns out.
Also, too early to make any assumptions
