‘Mama’ Director to Helm ‘Shadow of the Colossus’

Shadow of the Colossus movie in the works

The PlayStation game Shadows of the Colossus is heading to the big screen with Mama director Andres Muschietti at the helm and Seth Lochhead working on the script. The movie’s set up at Sony Pictures and will be produced by Barbara Muschietti and Kevin Misher.

“We knew we had our director once we heard Andy’s take on the material – it was genius,” said Michael De Luca, President of Production. “The themes, characters and supernatural elements of the story have incredible international appeal with fans of the game in the millions.”

According to Sony, Muschietti is a fan of Shadows of the Colossus and “seeks to translate the immersive game experience into a film that stays true to the human story of 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.”

The game has sold over 2.7 million copies and earned the Best Game title at the 6th Annual Game Developer’s Choice Awards.
