Hollywood gets behind God of War

Universal snags rights to popular PS2 title; Batman Begins producer attached.
Hollywood trade magazine Variety today said that Universal has picked up the rights to the PlayStation 2 action title God of War. Charles Roven and Alex Gartner of Mosiac Media are slated to produce the film. The producers have yet to name a director or announce a cast.

Roven, who produced Batman Begins for Warner Bros., told Variety, "We've been enthralled by this project since our first time playing the game in March and realized its narrative had great potential for large-screen production."

According to sources, Roven played an active role in the Batman Begins conversion from film to game.

Now this is a video game to movie conversion that could seriously kick ass.

I wonder what it will be rated?

Universal Pictures has secured the movie rights to video game God of War, created by Sony Computer Entertainment. Mosaic Media Group's Charles Roven and Alex Gartner will produce the feature adaptation, says Variety.

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.

The game, created by David Jaffe and Shannon Studstill, was released in March. A writer or director has not yet been attached to the project.

Sounds like a remake of "Clash of the Titans".

No. That would be this: Clash of the Titans (remake)
