Last year, it was confirmed thatHorizon Zero Dawnwould no longer be receiving the TV adaptation treatment from Netflix.
But you no longer have to mourn the idea of what could’ve been.

As such, you should expect a pared down story compared to what we might have received ifNetflixhad gone ahead with their lengthier version.
It’s the joint efforts of Columbia Pictures and PlayStation Productions that brought us theUnchartedandGran Turismofilms, neither of which were bad.

It’s with that in mind that I think we should all temper our expectations.

“Sophia Lillis for Aloy,”declareddumdumdudum, and it’s a great shout. Lillis portrayed Doric in 2023’sDungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves.
“The main rumour for Aloy when it was going to be a series was Sadie Sink, so she is probably at the top of the list for the movie too,”saidAlex Masterson13.
While I adore Sadie as an actress, I do wonder if she’s a tad too young-skewing for Aloy.

These are all stellar options, and while I’m doubtful this film will be one for the record books, I do have faith that creatives will bring us an Aloy to be proud of.
