Let’s just ignore this project from now on and continue waiting with bated breath for whatever game Team Ico decides to make next.

Never in a million years will this movie be good, but damn that game is straight up beautiful. Definitely check it out if you haven’t yet.

Wait a second, are you saying you think Hollywood might totally crap all over a videogame-inspired movie? Now, what would ever give you that idea?

Oh mam. Theres no way the currently attached people can capture the beauty and subtlety of that game. It’s probably my favorite game of all time, and I’m not one to completely write off video game movies normally but this isn’t looking promising at all. Our only hope is that they get a director that can bring a unique visual style to it.

It could be, if they maintained the feel of the game. But according to Ben Fritz at Variety that’s not looking likely:

“I understand the folks working on the project are planning to have some of the characters who appear only momentarily in the game, such as those who try to track down and stop Wander, play bigger roles in the film. And despite the game’s somewhat “artsy” cred, they’re hoping “Shadow” will be a “Lord of the Rings”-style fantasy tentpole.”

That picture makes me want to play the game.

I loved the game and I agree that these writers aren’t too promising but if they get a good director then maybe he’ll chop out all the ridiculous over-writing of these two. Someone like Guillermo Del Toro would be perfect for this movie. I think it would be interesting to see him tackle something with a bit more quiet subtlety.
