Josh Trank has signed an agreement with Sony Pictures to direct a live action adaptation of Shadow Of The Colossus. The film will be produced by Kevin Misher; Sony is still looking for a screenwriter.
Trank directed the $13 million Chronicle, which turned into something of a hit and made him a hot commodity. The Fumito Ueda-created game about a hunter killing 16 colossi to revive his dead lover in 2005.
To his credit, Trank has been looking to work on the project and is a fan of the game. Trank is also developing Marvel’s Fantastic Four and Venom for Sony Pictures, and is aligned to the Warner Bros comic book adaptation Red Star.
