God of War creator David Jaffe has recently issued an update on the forthcoming movie adaptation of the series, assuring fans that the project is still on track and progressing steadily.

Writing in an entry on his blog, Jaffe commented, “Had a good lunch with the producer of the GOD OF WAR movie a few weeks ago. Some big news COULD be coming on that front soon but nothing set in stone yet. But yeah, the project is still alive! And looking strong!”

“BUT the funny part is, I was just sitting there kind of gushing over movies, what to go see, what was coming out, etc. Just being a fanboy. And he- the producer of the GOW flick and many other movies, including this summer's GET SMART, which looks really funny- was just so nonchalant about the whole thing.”

Despite Jaffe’s encouraging words, little is known about the films plot, casting and other such details, and, though it is assumed that series protagonist Kratos will make an appearance, nothing has been confirmed.

Stay tuned for more details as they break.

    If Jaffe stays on as an advisor to the project, I think great things could happen. Otherwise, I'm worried.

    SHOULD BE A SICK SICK MOVIE (I HOPE), ONLY THING THAT WORRIES ME IS THAT WITH ALL GAME/MOVIES IT WILL PROBABLY BE A 15 RATED (or less), WHICH JUST WONT DO FOR THIS SORT OF MATERIAL. HERES HOPEIN FOR A SENCIBLE 18 !!

    psn id: gingo... this game would be amazing as a film if they got it right but if they screw it up like many other games to films it will be a shame and a wasted opportunity

    Hope the movies looks great. And I wish VIN DIESEL will play the role of Kratos.

    actually the people that did Beowulf was none other than Sony's Imageworks People, so if Universal is still doing this, i don't think they would be working with sony. knowing that Universal isn't on the whole Blu Ray Wagon.

    Even if David Jaffe was more involved I still would have my doubts about a GOW movie. I just can't see it being likr the game in terms of how everything looks and feels. And the big question is will we have the same story as what we have in GOW chains of olymus, and the GoW trilogy. Will we see the progression of the story the same way you do in the game. Will Kratos gather his powers along the way like killing medusa and gaining medusa's stare? I really think these things won't happen and that the movie will have this main character that doesn't look and act much like Kratos going around killing everything with a story thats seperate from the game.

    I would prefer it if it was in CGI. The best thing I could ever want out of a GoW movie is if Jaffe took all the cut-scenes from Chains of Olympus and the trilogy and they were edited together. Kojima did this with MGS snake Eater which is bundled in the MGS 3 Subsistence game. I think the movie is 3hrs long?

    I think that a God Of War movie would be cool because the games are great & they are the best games for the PS2

    I wonder if its going to be animation or with real people.  I hope they don't make it 3d like Beowulf.  Because sure 3d movies look really cool in the cinema but when 3d movies comes out on dvd they look like crap.  Have you ever seen a movie intended for 3d in 2d, its laughably bad.

    Djimon has the look of Kratos but not the Physique and i dont think he has ever done action movies before. I think Vin Diesel fits the actor more he has the build of kratos plus hes an action style actor... also the nose lol

    yea, Djimon Hounsou  is an AWESOME actor, but does no one see this except me.....  Djimon Hounsou is black and kratos isn't black.  i mean don't get me wrong, i don't have nothing against black people.  i have a lot of black friends myself.  i don't know it might just be a little wierd.  AND i'm not sure how the movie would be..... I LOVE THE GAME!!!!!!   but look at games with movies! they don't turn out that good. i'll agree with this IF, they turn ALL thier attention to this movie!!!!

    GOW games are great with good story lines. They should make the movie with the same story as games. I can't see it working otherwise. I also feel Vin Diesel will make a good Kratos. Depends on the budget they get to make the movie I suppose. We've all got a long wait, Prince of Persia was announced about a year ago and that won't be released until summer 2009.

    This is the first time I've heard about a possible God of War movie. I just hope they do a good job of it, it could be pretty amazing. I also totally agree about the idea of VIN DIESEL doing it. He would be perfect for the role!
