Andrés Muschietti Sees The "Shadow Of The Colossus"

Deadline reports that Argentine filmmaker Andrés Muschietti (Mama) will call the shots on the film adaptation of the Team Ico video game "Shadow Of The Colossus" for the big screen over at Sony Pictures. Josh Trank ("Chronicle") was previously attached to direct.

Set in a mystical and forbidden land, the story follows a hero who wants to raise his beloved from the dead. The price though requires him to kill 16 giant creatures known as the Colossi, and along the way he begins to worry he's been tricked.

"Hanna" scripter Seth Lochhead will pen the adapted script. Justin Marks wrote an earlier draft back when the project was set up in 2009.

Kevin Misher and Barbara Muschietti will produce.
