And with that, this version faded away as well. But a decade ago this wasn’t so common and a major risk for a franchise that had yet to be proven on screen. Which by today's standards does sound pretty in step with most blockbuster movies. The downside of this script is that it was projected to cost around $150 Million to make. They also wanted Ares to be a more present villain, which makes sense given that he is barely in the first game besides some flashbacks and a boss fight before he died. The team wanted audiences to really get to know Kratos as a person before being tricked into his tragic status quo.

That film was a modest success, and this version aimed to be a response to this movie that took a lot of the grand scale scope of that, but made it more grounded and character-focused. It is notable that this iteration was being made after the release of the Clash of the Titans remake. DeKnight would direct but nothing ever materialized. There was a period after the release of Pacific Rim: Uprising where it looked like Steven S. There isn’t as much known about this iteration compared to the last, as no stars or directors were ever officially attached. Craig is a brilliant actor, and it’s not that he couldn’t make for a good Kratos, but it would be like if you cast him as Drax the Destroyer. This makes sense given he’s such an odd choice for Kratos. No director was attached when it was in active development around 2005, but it did have drafts of a script completed by Road to Perdition writer David Self.Īfter the failure of X-Men: The Last Stand, Brett Ratner signed on to direct and an offer was made to Daniel Craig to star based on the latest draft from Self, but according to Jaffe in a documentary bundled in the God of War: Origins Collection on the PlayStation 3, Craig declined the role. The movie itself would be made at Sony Pictures and distributed by Universal. The film was to be produced by Charles Roven at Mosaic Group, who was fresh off the success of Batman Begins and ready to get rolling on other franchises.

But Sony always wanted some vertical integration and synergy between their games and film divisions, which has been a proven success in recent years with last year's Uncharted movie and the series of Spider-Man games developed by Insomniac. He also doubted the movie would even release, which he turned out to be right about.
The director of the first game, David Jaffe, showed interest in an adaptation but was pessimistic about the quality that could come from a movie. As mentioned earlier, a film adaptation was in the books as early as the first game's release.
