Beloved PlayStation exclusive The Last Guardian may be getting a film adaptation if the latest reports are to be believed. Written by Godzilla and Kong: Skull Island writer Max Borenstein, The Last Guardian movie is said to be in development at Sony, currently casting for four main roles.
The Last Guardian film news comes from film industry insider Daniel Richtman, reported via FullCircleCinema. The report indicates they are currently casting a 12-year old for the role of "Boy," the game’s main character who befriends the Trico creature, named "Tree," who is also apparently being cast, somehow. (How exactly the casting for "Tree" will work is unclear, as there are no additional details for this particular role. I doubt Sony will find an actual Trico willing to audition for the roleβ¦but hey, Andy Serkis can play anything.)
Two additional characters name Ariana and Ueda are also being cast, looking for a 27-year old woman and 30-39-year old man respectively. These characters are parents looking for their daughter Mono, who is missing. It’s suspected that she may have been kidnapped by a Trico, much in the same way that "Boy" was in The Last Guardian game. According to the report, "The two will play a supporting role in the film as they travel with Boy and Tree." Fun fact: the name Ueda is an Easter egg to the game’s creator, Fumito Ueda.
Finally, the reports says the film is being written by Max Borenstein and produced by Kevin Misher under Misher Films.
