The recent craze of game-to-movie transitions has spurred the decision of turning God of War, the epic game which takes players deep into Greek mythology to battle creatures and ultimately the god of war, into a blockbuster film. God of War will join the ranks of BloodRayne, Metroid, Halo, Rainbow Six, Splinter Cell, Doom, Spy Hunter, and countless other video games that are taking the plunge into the film industry.
Vice president of Universal (the company who is overseeing the release of the Doom film as well), Jeff Kirschenbaum, will be overseeing the God of War film release. Brought on to produce the film are Charles Roven and Alex Gartner of Mosiac Media. Roven has a now proven track record after producing the amazing Batman Begins film. No other cast or director announcements have been made.
One thing that can be said about God of War is that it’s premise is perfect for a feature film movie, but then again the premise of video games in general always seems to be fitting for the silver screen. Yet, for some strange reason, the transition can almost never go through without some kind of hitch. Whether it be some change of the storyline that completely throws off the original fan base or terrible casting or directing that makes it unbearable to watch, video game based movies are almost destined to fail in the box office.
Will God of War be a rare piece? Will it be one of the few games that can make the difficult transition into a feature film? That all remains to be seen, and needless to say now is the time to cross those fingers.
