The long-awaited Shadow of the Colossus movie adaptation continues to move forward according to director Andrés Muschietti. In a recent interview with Radio TU, Muschietti reassures fans that the project is not 'an abandoned project' and confirms there's now momentum towards bringing the cult classic PlayStation 2 game to the big screen.
- Project Status: The movie remains in development despite more than a decade of delays.
- Creative Vision: Muschietti envisions a high-budget adaptation with a budget ideally at $200 million, acknowledging the challenges to securing that level of funding.
While not an avowed blockbuster, the emotional depth and grand scale of Shadow of the Colossus compel Muschietti to bring it to life.
The film project was first announced in 2009, but faced significant delays mainly due to budget issues. Director Josh Trank left the project in 2014, making way for Muschietti who has now taken the helm and is enthusiastic about the project's prospects.
What do you think it will take to bring Shadow of the Colossus to theatres? Do you believe securing a high-budget production with these creative ambitions is feasible in today’s market?
