Hear, hear!
OMFGITLLFCKNSUXTHOWONTIT!
*slaps self*
Hear, hear indeed!
I have hopes for movie tie ins.
Watchmen was good shit, Spiderman 1 and 2 (3 was an epic mistake), Coraline, all good movies, all based of something else all together.
It's all about taking the source material, and making the picture you get in your head, into an actual moving picture on screen, and making that moving picture enjoyable to watch. It's good movie making is what it is.
Nothing more, nothing less.
It just boggles my mind how they are going to deal with the whole Wanderer being silent thing.
I guess they could do a whole movie like the first 20 minutes of Wall-E
I guess.
Its the fact that they take something we love and rape it in order to make money. It won't stop me from loving the game, but the fact is that its just offensive to see a concept that I love be perverted the way it inevitability will be.
Honestly, if it wasn't Justin Marks handling the writing, then I wouldn't be so quick to assume that the film will be fail, but his track record is kind of disheartening.
I suppose it's kinda like if I took an image of you and photoshopped it. In fact I'm going to photoshop your cock so it's really small. Then I'm going to stick it all over the internet and take out a full page spread in your local and national paper and put a caption saying Count Grishnack: Really small cock.
You'd be pretty angry, even if in reality you are hung like a colossus.
(Please don't take any of that seriously.)
I'm actually going to bring up the same argument from Dante's Inferno again, because apparently you didn't get what me and some others were saying. Dante's inferno and this film DON'T detract from the original, but rather, WASTE potential that their forbears could've created.
In Dante's case, we're seeing a world ripe with interesting characters and atmosphere being diluted into an action game when it could've instead been better translated as an Adventure game. In that case, the creators would be taking advantage of the source material's strengths and applying them to a new medium to amplify the experience.
For this film, people are mostly freaking out about the writer and for good reason. I remember someone bringing up Del Toro as another possibility for creative control, and honestly, that would probably turn out alright. But instead, it's becoming obvious that the IP is being treated with the same artistic care that Street Fighter and others were given.
Could it be good, or even just ok? Yeah, possibly. Though people like to play their hands close. Their rhetoric makes it sound as if the writers trying to bank on having a fantasy world to work with and make it competitive with the Lord of the Rings, whichever way that might take it.
Personally I wouldn't mind a movie if it is made CG (to permit more appropriate character design and choreography) and if it was made by Ueda and crew.
I agree that we will always have the game but that doesn't take away from the fact that this movie is taking advantage of the game and building itself upon something it could never achieve.
There already is a Shadow of the Collosus movie, it's called Reign Over Me.
@ PUPPYLICKS:
SCORE!!!!
THERE IS ALREADY A SOTC MOVIE , PUPPY LICKS REMEMBERED THE NAME , IT'S MY FAVORITE ATUSTISM MOVIE !
Autism movie? Hahahahaha. Negative man.
How do you make a film about a game with no story where 90% of the film will be a guy on a horse running over bland terrain.
Seriously, a SotC film is about as bad as a Sims film.
I'm going to have to disagree, I actually do think that a "Shadow of the Colossus" will change the way the original is appreciated.
Most of the movie-goers will have had never played the game; and they will thus form an opinion about the game from the movie.
In their minds, for better or worse, SotC will forever be intellectually linked with the movie. Even if they later play the game, they will interpret it through the lens of their movie experience.
If you understand the concept of bricolage, I don't think you can argue that the movie will have no impact on the perception of the game.
I'm actually not against a movie. I think it might actually add something to the experience of the game. It's just important to understand that they will become artistically entangled.
Sorry for the typos; my computer is slowly dying.
GOD DAMMIT....
Puppy Licks fucking wins.
