Makers of Amazon's God of War TV series share an update about upcoming adaptation
The showrunner for Amazon 's live-action TV series based on the popular God of War gaming franchise has shared new details about the upcoming adaptation. The show's makers have confirmed that it will remain largely faithful to the 2018 game. Speaking at San Diego Comic-Con, Ronald D. Moore, the series showrunner and former executive producer of Battlestar Galactica, stated that while the show will not be a frame-by-frame remake, it will honour the spirit of Sony Santa Monica's source material. With this series, the makers plan to bring the story of legendary Kratos to TV screens. What Amazon's God of War TV series said about the show In a statement to Collider, Moore said: "This world and this universe are really rich, and it's interesting, and it's really been fun to adapt. It's an adaptation, so it's an adaptation-slash-interpretation as you go into live-action, and it's been really fun to sort of go, 'Wow, there's a lot here we can play with. Okay, we want to keep the story. We want to keep the characters and the spirit of it'. There's all this stuff that you can keep turning to for inspiration. It's really been interesting.' Moore also mentioned that game director Cory Barlog is closely involved with the project. He also referred to Barlog, who led the development of 2022's God of War sequel Ragnarök, as a "genius." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Do You Speak English?

And I usually pride myself about, as a showrunner, I can hold the season in my head. I know what the 10 episodes are, and I can tell you about them. Cory can tell you the whole thing in every possible way - all the mythology, how it connects one to the other, what the puzzles were, why they did this, and what that artifact did. It's really impressive. I mean, it is like a gigantic novel, even bigger than the Outlander novels, which is a lot to digest,' Moore added. In a separate interview with IGN, Moore suggested that elements from Kratos' earlier adventures before Santa Monica's God of War reboot could be included. 'You'll have to wait and see,' Moore said. Currently, the 10 episodes of Moore's God of War adaptation are still in the "scripts" phase, with filming potentially starting in 2026, he noted.
