10 Upcoming Video Game Movies That Could Actually Be Amazing
5. Shadow Of The Colossus
The Story: Traversing through a mysterious and forbidden land by horse, a young man named Wander must defeat 16 colossi in order to bring a girl back to life.
Why It Could Be Amazing: The game is famously artistic, and was a revolutionary title for Playstation. The landscapes are rich and beautiful, all the while remaining incredibly minimalistic. There’s literally nothing else going on: no other characters, no cities, and no dungeons. It would really be unlike anything in a typical film.
The main action is based on puzzle-like interactions and battles with the titular colossi, but the appeal of the story is really the emotional journey of Wander as he is often left to himself in this deserted paradise. There’s so much room for this film to be a visual spectacle with bursts of action and a powerful character at its heart.
Mama director Andres Muschietti has been brought on board, and his dark, gothic touch could add a new dimension to the film. If he can capture the spirit of the game, and offer a rich world to explore, the movie will absolutely succeed.
