Challenges in Production
Creating a film adaptation of such a beloved game comes with its challenges. One major hurdle is determining the budget with Sony.

A Long Road Ahead
The first whispers of a Shadow of the Colossus film emerged in 2009. Initially, Josh Trank was set to direct, but the reins were later handed to Muschietti in 2014. Since then, updates have been sparse. However, Muschietti's recent comments offer a glimmer of hope for fans eager to see Wander and Agro's story on screen.
