"Shadow of the Colossus" Movie Being Developed Under "Chronicle" Director
The found-footage superhero movie director to lend his storytelling chops to the tale of a boy and 16 soon-to-be-dead colossi for Sony Pictures.
The Shadows of the Colossus live-action feature has been in the works for a little while now—all the way back to 2009. Rights owner Sony has presumably spent the last three years looking at the numbers and figuring out how to make the surely special effects-intensive feature have a workable budget.
