'God of War' TV Series Adaptation Eyed By Prime Video – Deadline

Prime Video is in negotiations for a live-action TV series based on the hugely popular ancient mythology-themed game, sources said.

I hear the series adaptation comes from The Expanse creators/executive producers Mark Fergus and Hawk Ostby and The Wheel of Time executive producer/showrunner Rafe Judkins as well as Sony Pictures Television and PlayStation Productions which collaborate on all TV series based on PlayStation games. Reps for Sony and Amazon Studios, which will likely co-produce, had no comment.

I wonder what era they will use. The New God games and their story certainly are better suited for a TV series.

But the older games ARE god of war. And without them the newer games and kratos dont make much sense.

At this point we are at:
- Uncharted movie
- Ghost of Tsushima movie
- Jak and Daxter movie (I didn't realize this one was real/confirmed, but apparently it is?)
- The Last of Us TV show
- Twisted Metal TV show
- God of War TV show

Hard to pull off. No way will it have the cgi budget to have him do all the crazy stuff from the games.

Will instead imo have a lot of talking and random fake props to show how strong he is.

i'd watch but would trust more if it were on netflix instead of amazon.

probably will end poorly.  i agree with legend in that it will be very difficult to do special effects on a tv series budget.   GoW is all about the fighting so not sure how you could fill up a ton of time with dialog and still be "god of war"
