Rumor has it {that a} TV/film adaptation of PS2’s Ico was lately pitched to Sony, but it surely’s unclear if one thing ever got here out of it. PlayStation Productions — the crew liable for giving PlayStation IPs the Hollywood therapy — was reportedly searching for a pitch for Ico.
A film primarily based on PS2’s Ico was beforehand thought-about
The aforementioned rumor comes from EasyAllies podcast’s Michael Huber, who talked about on a current episode that his “buddy” pitched an Ico film or TV adaptation to Sony as a result of it was “on the record of video games they wished remedies for.”
This isn’t the primary time an Ico adaptation has been thought-about. Again in 2010, Misher Movies — the corporate tasked to make a film primarily based on Shadow of the Colossus — stated that it might make an Ico film if its then endeavour was profitable. Nonetheless, nothing got here out of it and Shadow of the Colossus film by no means noticed the sunshine of day both.
If Huber’s info is right, then it appears like Sony hasn’t given up on Ico simply but.
Ico is broadly considered among the best PlayStation video games of all time. Its developer, Japan Studio, was disbanded in 2021. Ico’s director Fumito Ueda left Sony in 2011 and based his personal studio, GenDesign.
