Here’s hoping for the best, and that the rest of the Capcom catalog gets the same adaptation treatment.


Paul W.S. Anderson: But you guys, now that I’m done “adapting” Resident Evil and Monster Hunter, I still have to make “adaptations” of Mega Man, Devil May Cry, and Phoenix Wright with my wife Milla Jovovich playing a new character as the actual lead which is what I’m sure all the fans want-

Hot new direction to take in film, while also differentiating your project from the myriad of comic book adaptations these days... video game adaptations.

With the right creative team, this could be fun! Need die-hard fans, take a note from the pretty solid and enjoyable D&D movie -- those guys are not just film nerds who know how to shoot, they are clearly proper D&D fans.

Good luck to the cast who tackle this - you've got to find a way to out-do one of the greatest performances in cinematic history:

Didn't Legendary just partner with Sony as well?

Its 2023 and when it comes to Hollywoke, there will be a Guile shower scene.

No Paul WS Anderson movies please. Also, they should make the final draft of George A Romero’s Resident Evil into a movie

*edit*

Man what a time to be alive. To think some of my favorite IPs have received/will be made into blockbuster Hollywood movies, only to be the most soulless agenda driven focus tested fists full of donkey shit.

Monkey Paw fucking curled on me in this reality.
