As great as the game was, honestly making a movie from it will be challenging. I'm not so much a fan of a videogame turned movie unless the game sucked, and in this case Shadow of the Colossus is far from sucking.

Although I haven't seen either of those movies they mentioned in the article, I always have a different view from other people when it comes to games/animes turned movie. I mean I thought The Last Airbender was pretty good, while 99% of the world hated it.

This is a pretty late post, but hopefully the movie is still in production.
