As part of the ongoing Sony vs. Tencent lawsuit, a lot of information that was not intended to be made public is being made public, and now another morsel of news has emerged. Documents from the lawsuit reveal that PlayStation Productions boss Asad Qizilbash gave a sworn declaration stating that the upcoming Horizon live-action movie is aiming to release in 2027.
Qizilbash said in the testimony, filed on October 16, that there is already a “working script” for the film and that the team is “actively searching for a director,” according to The Game Post. No names were divulged as candidates to direct, however. What Qizilbash did say, though, is that the goal is to begin shooting the Horizon movie in 2026 and release it in 2027.
PlayStation Productions and Columbia Pictures previously worked together on the Tom Holland-starring Uncharted movie and Gran Turismo. PlayStation Productions and Columbia Pictures are both owned by Sony.
It’s interesting to hear about the updates on the Horizon movie amid the ongoing legal situation. It shows how interconnected the entertainment industry can be. Looking forward to more developments!
is definitely a unique backdrop for its development. I wonder how the lawsuit might influence the film’s creative direction or marketing strategies. It could add an intriguing layer to how fans perceive the final product!
