God of War TV Series Has Found Its Atreus

I know he maybe a bit too old for the role, but I would give it to the kid who plays Spike in 28 years later, he is very good for his age!

Who's playing Cuno?

I hope Ryan Hurst spends ample time practicing various iterations of "Boy!".

I feel like watching Hercules: The Legendary Journey now

Interesting choice, hopefully this turns out alright, Hollywood tends to treat games as a lower form of art and crap all over lore and stories, thinking they know or can do better. Fingers crossed

@SlyASpiE That’s because games that aren’t a lower form of art are few and far between. And those games aren’t the sort that get adapted for popcorn fare.

I dont know the actor but can this boy handle a bow? Looks like he cant tie his shoes.

@Blauwe_Chimay it's ok they're velcro lol

@nessisonett there's plenty of games that could be considered a higher firm of art then many films

@SlyASpiE There’s more films than games in general. The difference is that there are a lot fewer films made solely for financial gain than games. Video games are not at a point where they can be made for solely artistic reasons, whereas there are an awful lot of movies that will probably not make a profit but are made for art’s sake. If a game bombs then the studio is dead more often than not. So the vision is compromised from the beginning in order to make a profit. Besides, there are so many films out there that reason dictates that there are a lot, lot more films that are art than games that are art.

It should have been Tom Holland.

I fail to see why that's a reason for Hollywood to cast away good stories and lore from established IPs, when it's that that's made the IP popular to point Hollywood has decided to "grace" its "wisdom" upon them

@nessisonett id argue that isn't true anymore. Just Google home.many games are being released on a monthly or annual basis on storefronts...yea is there a lot of garbage. But id easily wager more games are being made than films at this point.

Edit- Id also argue that films need to be at least able to break even. Or be so critically acclaimed it gets the now defunct film house employees new jobs- which is very rare

Who knows, maybe he'll crush it. Sic parvis magna, eh?

Casting is definetely spot on and keeps going.

The fact he is that young shows they plan on making this a long term series

@nessisonett
Tons of games are made solely for artistic reasons, ever heard of indie games? Game mods? Mods in particular almost never cost any money to play.

@tselliot
Show has already got a guaranteed two seasons. Amazon clearly has faith in this after Fallout has been such a hit for them it seems.

Why don't they just film the game and release that on Netflix or whatever? Literally all they have to do is point a camera at the TV.

Maybe too young?? 🤷🏻‍♂️

@PegasusActual93 The level of passion project indie games that actually release is incredibly slim. The infrastructure is not there with grants and such for indie devs to release their games without either compromise or external funding. You can make a movie with just a camcorder and free editing software, Blair Witch obviously being the most famous example. Game development is vastly more complex even at a basic level. Governments are not funding indie devs the same way they fund indie filmmakers. And you’re being naive if you think that a game being indie means that it’s made for a grander artistic purpose, they’re often just as much about undercutting competition and jumping on trends as their AAA counterparts, such is capitalism. Mods are another thing entirely, they build off somebody else’s work and are valid of course, I do play an awful lot of mods, but that would be like saying fanfic was as creative as an original novel. Also a lot of modders recently are charging for their efforts on a Patreon or similar, just seen that new PES 99 mod will be like £14.

@Oram77 Saw a recent photo of his during the Bone Temple promotions and he's TALL now.

N.i.c.e. Kratos the g.o.a.t 🐐👑. Word up son

@PegasusActual93 I love that show ella purnell and Walton goggins made that show for me incredible performances

@Clytorial_Impact I just started up Xena again.
