I have a linux file with a colon in the filename that I cannot open, rename, or delete. How can I remove the colon from this filename?

Like I said, I have a a file with a colon in the filename, but I cannot do anything with it. How can I rename this file, exclude the colon?


$ ls -l
ls: 'Colossus:_The_Forbin_Project.mp4': No such file or directory
total 1998584
-rwxrwxrwx 1 501 501 2044545396 Mar 21 2013 Colossus:_The_Forbin_Project.mp4*

EDIT:


The filesystem is ext4
