Rumor has it {that a} TV/film adaptation of PS2’s Ico was just lately pitched to Sony, nevertheless it’s unclear if one thing ever got here out of it. PlayStation Productions — the group liable for giving PlayStation IPs the Hollywood remedy — was reportedly searching for a pitch for Ico.
A film based mostly 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 listing of video games they wished therapies 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 based mostly on Shadow of the Colossus — stated that it could 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.
