A lot of people were shocked by the announcement of a Shadow of The Colossus movie. Many thought it couldn't be done, others said it had a chance while most said that Hollywood would screw it up like other video game movies. Well here is some news that will put you hearts a ease, hopefully. Fumito Ueda will be involved in the project, he didn't go in details as to what he will do. But if its anything, lets hope he keeps everyone on check on how its supposed to be done.

Ueda indicated that he will play some role in the creation of the April-announced Shadow of the Colossus movie. The project would turn into a movie the Ueda-directed 2005 PS2 adventure that featured a boy wandering the plains, hunting quiet lumbering beasts. "It won't be that I'm completely not involved," he said of the film.

Ueda also provided us a minor update on the future of both Shadow of the Colossus and its predecessor, Ico, on modern video game systems. Both games are considered modern classics and are at least thematically linked to Ueda and Team Ico's next project, The Last Guardian. (Read Ueda talk more about The Last Guardian.) The recent announcement of a slightly-enhanced port of the PS2 God of War games to the PS3 has compelled gamers to buzz about their hope for a similar compilation port of the PS2's Ico and Shadow of the Colossus. The developer wants it to happen too.
