Deadline has word that Argentine director Andrés Muschietti (Mama) has been hired by Sony to helm their video game film Shadow of The Colossus. The film has a script from Hanna writer Seth Lochhead and will be produced by Mama producer/co-writer Barbara Muschietti. The game synopsis is as follows.
The protagonist of the original action-adventure game is a young man who thinks his lover has died. Desperate to bring her back, he heads into a forbidden land, and summons a demon who can wake the dead. The price for bringing back his girl: slay 16 colossi that dominate this mystical place.
Josh Trank was originally set to direct but left when he was called-up to direct Fox's Fantastic Four reboot and an untitled Star Wars film for Disney. Andrés was once attached to direct The Mummy remake for Universal, but eventually left that project.
