For over a decade, plans for a Shadow of the Colossus film have been underway, but so far, nothing has come to fruition. However, the director of the project, Andy Muschietti, recently expressed optimism about it. In a recent interview, Muschietti referred to Shadow of the Colossus as a “masterpiece” and admitted that he’s played it multiple times. Now, after 10 years, Muschietti stated that the opportunity to create the movie is becoming more feasible.
Muschietti expressed his positive reaction towards the script he’s reviewed, however, the possibility of him directing the film depends largely on financial backing.
In a conversation (through Eurogamer), they mentioned that Shadow of the Colossus is a highly acclaimed game. However, to finance a movie adaptation, a studio has provided budget estimates ranging from $200 million, $150 million, to $100 million. The speaker implied he’d prefer $200 million, but it’s also important to consider that there are multiple film versions in development.
The Shadow of the Colossus film project was initiated in 2009, with Josh Trank initially set to direct at some point. Later on, in 2014, Muschietti took over as director for the movie. However, after being appointed, Muschietti’s career led him to various other projects – he directed It and Its sequel, It Chapter Two, followed by The Flash, and is currently working on multiple episodes of It: Welcome To Derry, which will premiere this year.
It’s uncertain in Hollywood if director Muschietti will have the chance to create Shadow of the Colossus, given its status as a beloved game among fans but not necessarily mainstream. Securing a studio to invest $200 million for the project might pose challenges due to its less widespread popularity.
Initially launched on PlayStation 2 in 2005 under the direction of Fumito Ueda, Shadow of the Colossus places players in a vast world where they must vanquish towering beasts. In 2018, Bluepoint Games brought forth a fresh adaptation for the PS4.
Although a Shadow of the Colossus movie seems distant for now, here are four exciting video game movies slated for release in 2025:
1. A Minecraft Movie on April 4
2. Until Dawn on April 25
3. Mortal Kombat 2 on October 24
4. Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 on December 5
On the small screen, HBO will premiere The Last of Us Season 2 in April.
