"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."
"This came up as part of the lawsuit because it pertains to Horizon, which Sony said Tencent ripped off for its upcoming Light of Motiram game. Qizilbash said Horizon's main character, Aloy, is a "key icon" for PlayStation and that she is essential "to the flywheel of franchise building." Horizon was originally lined up to get a live-action Netflix series, but last year it was reported that the project wasn't moving forward due to workplace misconduct allegations surrounding The Umbrella Academy showrunner Steve Blackman."
