Ico TV/Film Adaptation Reportedly Pitched to Sony

Rumor has it {that a} TV/film adaptation of PS2’s Ico was lately pitched to Sony, however 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 in search of a pitch for Ico.

A film primarily based on PS2’s Ico was beforehand thought of

The aforementioned rumor comes from EasyAllies podcast’s Michael Huber, who talked about on a latest episode that his “pal” pitched an Ico film or TV adaptation to Sony as a result of it was “on the record of video games they needed therapies for.”

This isn’t the primary time an Ico adaptation has been thought of. Again in 2010, Misher Movies — the corporate tasked to make a film primarily based on Shadow of the Colossus — mentioned 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.

If Huber’s info is appropriate, then it seems like Sony hasn’t given up on Ico simply but.

Ico is broadly thought to be the most effective 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.
