The story aspect of video games are getting better and better, and the popularity of video games gets bigger and bigger. The trend of video game to movie adaptations keeps steaming along as well so it should come as no surprise that possibly the best video game in the last 2 years is probably getting a film treatment done. God Of War.
Universal Pictures has snagged up the rights to the project and Alex Gartner will produce it. Don’t know what God Of War is about? Here’s a quick synopsis for ya:
In the game, players can unleash the power of the Gods and embark on a merciless quest as Kratos, an ex-Spartan warrior driven to destroy Ares, the God of War. Armed with lethal double chainblades, Kratos must carve through mythology’s darkest creatures— including Medusa, Cyclops, the Hydra and more, while solving intricate puzzles in breathtaking environments. Driven by pure revenge, nothing can stop Kratos from achieving absolution.
No writer or director has been assigned to the project yet… but considering Universal likes to strike while the iron is hot, you can probably expect an announcement pretty soon. God Of War… that’s actually a great title for a film.
