Sony's Bringing Horizon Zero Dawn to the Big Screen with Live Action Movie Adaptation | Push Square

pushsquare.com:

Horizon Zero Dawn, originally planned to be a live action Netflix series, is getting a big budget movie instead.

Announced during CES 2025, PS Productions bigwig Asad Qizilbash confirmed that his department is partnering with Columbia Pictures to bring Aloy’s origin story to life. No casting announcements were made.

Aloy-al to the original, but better

The original Guerrilla open world game tells the tale of the aforementioned red head, as she’s raised in a world where human tribes co-exist with mechanical animals. The sci-fi story gradually depicts how the planet came to be inhabited by robotic creatures.

We were always sceptical this particular game would work as a television series, as the budget required to bring it to life will be through the roof. An expensive Hollywood film makes more sense, and we reckon the storyline will appeal to mainstream movie goers. This will probably be a big success.

The question is: who’s your pick for Aloy?

As the Editor of Push Square, Sammy has over 15 years of experience analysing the world of PlayStation, from PS3 through PS5 and everything in between. He’s an expert on PS Studios and industry matters, as well as sports games and simulators. He also enjoys RPGs when he has the time to dedicate to them, and is a bit of a gacha whale.

I'm predicting a huge W for this movie, just hope they get the casting right.

Horizon was always better being a movie then a series anyway. Hopefully they will get some real top talent behind it.

Great…… more horizon stuff

Really funny to announce essentially the blandest movie possible straight after the Golden Globes, where movies that actually said something were acknowledged. That being said, Anora was snubbed.

Sony really likes Horizon. Where's my Killzone movie?!

I'd still rather see an anime film of Horizon than a live-action one.

Yeah actually a movie would be better than the cancelled Netflix series, IF well done it can actually be pretty good and successful, but if they tie producers for
