So its been confirmed that Sony (shocker) has picked up the rights for a Shadow of the Colossus movie. So those of you who know, that was a fucking amazing game, with amazing art direction for the PS2 that has been out for a couple of years now. While this news excited me upon first hearing about it, after further thinking I don't know what to think about it. Most of the game is no more than running around on a horse. The rest is actually fighting the colossus. There is almost no story. What are they going to do about that? They better not bastardize the movie, because I loved the game. Its an intriguing, yet frightening, concept. Let's hope this is a fantastical movie with no bastardization. It will be awesome to see what they can do with the ginormity of the colossi v. a small man. It was just announced though, who knows if it will actually see the light of day. Even if it does, it'll be at least 2 years.
On the topic of movies, Gary Oldman has reportedly been spotted on the set of Iron Man 2. The same Gary Oldman who appears in Warner Bros' Batman and Harry Potter franchises. Someone at corporate won't like that one. This is just a speculation, but he is thought to be playing Howard Stark (Tony's father). The cast includes awesome talent such as Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Don Cheadle, Scarlett Johansson, Sam Rockwell, Mickey Rourke and Samuel Mother Fucking Jackson. This little diddy is scheduled to come out on May 7, 2010. Marvel owns May.

that movie sounds awesome. I wonder if it will be live action or animated. I agree that the game really did not have much of a story. It will look amazing though.
Killer!
