Sony
Pictures have decided to move on with their adaptation of the Shadow of the
Colossus video game, which has sold over 2,7 million copies since its release
in 2009.
The
studio hasn't released any statement regarding director Josh Trank's departure
from the project by I'm assuming it has to do with him being otherwise engaged
with the Fantastic Four reboot, and then the Star Wars spin-off, and if things
go well, maybe Fantastic Four 2.
Mama
director Andrés Muschietti has been tapped to replace Trank's, and is already
working on the development of the project, which counts with Hanna screenwriter
Seth
Lochhead.
Shadow of
the Colossus is "set in an epic-scale world filled with mythic giants and
disembodied spirits, the story will follow a young man attempting to save his
lost love by accomplishing a seemingly impossible task… the destruction of the
colossi who roam the forbidden land."
"We knew we had our
director once we heard Andy’s take on the material – it was genius," said
Sony's Michael De Luca today. "The themes, characters and supernatural elements of the story have
incredible international appeal with fans of the game in the millions."
