Horizon’s TV debut has been at the very least delayed Although all video game companies are suddenly of great interest to Hollywood, it’s Sony that has the most sway at the moment, in terms of live action projects. The success of Uncharted, Twisted Metal, and, in particular, The Last Of Us have not gone unnoticed and adaptations of Horizon Zero Dawn and God of War have quickly become inevitable, even if it’s somewhat surprising that they’re going to be a TV show rather than a movie.
’ The question of what gets a TV show and what a movie does seem rather arbitrary, and you would’ve thought that Horizon’s post-apocalyptic world of giant robot animals needed a much larger budget and more expensive special effects than even a modern show could provide. That may explain the decision though, as it’s likely easier for Sony Pictures to share the cost with a TV provider than it would be to get into a more complex arrangement with a fellow movie studio.
