Some of the minds behind The Expanse and Wheel Of Time are involved
If the recentGod Of Wargames weren’t cinematic enough, streaming providers and general tessellators of cardboard boxes everywhere Amazon have greenlit a TV show based on Kratos’ adventures.The Hollywood Reporter, erm, reports that Wheel Of Time’s Rafe Judkins is showrunner on the project, backed up by writers and executive producers Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby. Those two worked on The Expanse, and were nominated for the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay for Children Of Men. No word on who will play the spartan goliath just yet, but the Clive Owen for Kratos campaign starts here.
Amazon are, of course, partnering with Sony Pictures Television to make the show. God Of War’s also being produced in association with something called PlayStation Productions. Rather than heading back to the very start of the game series for its inspiration, Kratos: The Legendary Journeys (I made that up, 100% original idea) will focus on the God Of War’s adventures in the realms of Norse mythology from the two most recent instalments.
You can find God Of War the game onSteamand theEpic Games Storefor £40/$50/50. I’ll keep you up to date with any telly show details as they emerge from the belly of Amazon.
