The first game followed the battles of the Spartan warrior Kratos, who squares off against mythological beasts including Medusa, Cyclops and the Hydra in his quest to find Pandora's Box and destroy Ares, the god of war. By the end of the third game, much of the Greek pantheon lay dead at Kratos' feet. The game is famous for its graphics and imaginative environments, its often copied gameplay, and its doses of sex and extreme violence.
In an interview this week with STYD the pair claim it will be quite different to both the "Clash of the Titans" remake and last year's Immortals that cover the same territory as the games. "Immortals" was indeed heavily influenced by the series.
"Those movies can inform 'God of War' to step in a more bold direction," Dunstan says. "Not to join those ranks, but to stand head and shoulders apart like other reinventions have done within that genre. The satisfying element is to look at those movies as a commentary on the genre and now say something different."
Melton added, SONY® Games, you think they'd be sacred about the origin story and all of that, but they were encouraging us to make it different from those movies and if that means going in dramatic shifts, they were cool of it. And they're involved."
Charles Roven and Alex Gartner are the producing the film.
