Universal Pictures has snagged the rights to bring Sony’s "God of War" video game to the big screen, says Variety. While no screenwriters or director have been hired just yet, the popular game boasts more than enough action to fill a few movies.
"Set in ancient Greece, vidgame follows the battles of the warrior Kratos, who tackles mythological beasts including Medusa, Cyclops and the Hydra. Players navigate Kratos on his quest to find Pandora’s Box and destroy Ares, the god of war."
Mosaic Media Group’s Charles Roven seems fairly excited about the project: "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."
