20th Century Fox and Chernin Entertainment have started development on a fan favorite in the video game world. Heralded as one of the most popular video game franchises in history, MEGA MAN is now on his way to the big screen. Feel free to be cautiously optimistic.

One positive sign of things to come is Chernin Entertainment. David Ready and Michael Finfer are overseeing for the company, while Peter Chernin produces. Together they have a pretty solid pedigree for sci-fi action movies, including the recent/upcoming Planet of the Apes films. Mike Ireland and Ryan Horrigan are overseeing for Fox.

Saw it making rounds in several places, couldn't find a thread on GAF yet. Rock me if old.

I hope it never comes out.

I'll watch it after I see the Uncharted, Metal Gear Solid and Mass Effect movies.

they're never coming out and neither will this

DeathoftheEndless · Sep 3, 2015

If live-action, lol.

RadioJoNES64 · Sep 3, 2015

Metal Man voiced by Michael Cera.

BronsonLee · Sep 3, 2015

We might actually get a new game, guys!

Uncharted is happening. It's on Sony's slate and they need a big franchise.

Michael Fassbender as Mega Man

Those are some great movies, hopefully they can do the same with Mega Man.

Feel free to be cautiously optimistic.

I'll pass, thanks. Though I do find it funny that Fox is more interested in making a Mega Man movie than Capcom is in making a Mega Man game.

Beren the Empty-Handed · Sep 3, 2015

Christopher Lloyd as Dr. Wily!

you're not gonna go see the Shadow of the Colossus movie? too high brow for you i guess. your loss.

Hella Lugosi · Sep 3, 2015

I hope it's live action and based on Bad Box Art Megaman

Seems too wacky to make a live action movie after. At least not from a major film production company.

Yeah, live action would be really strange.

That's exactly what I'm imagining.

A jump to the past, Capcom is going back to its roots

TimmiT · Sep 3, 2015

I could be wrong but isn't that site unreliable?

Count Dookkake · Sep 3, 2015

I predict less Chernin and more Charmin.

Ah yeah, can't wait for sweet digitized graphics from the hit movie to return in a Mega Man movie game. Co-developed by Beenox and Activision.

Coolio McAwesome · Sep 3, 2015

The Wachowskis need to direct it and they need to give it the full Speed Racer treatment. It's the only way a live-action Mega Man movie would work. I need over-the-top action scenes, and the movie needs to fully embrace how cheesy it is. I expect we'll get some sort of shitty Robocop or Judge Dredd knockoff that takes itself way too seriously.

Slayven · Sep 3, 2015

Knowing Fox Elecman gets fried by a high power line

Arkeband · Sep 3, 2015

Servbots will be the new Minions.

mnannola · Sep 3, 2015

Hey if this gets us a new Mega Man game (that isn't some pay to win mobile bullshit), bring it on.

The Lamonster · Sep 3, 2015

Prepare yourselves for this to be a movie starring a bunch of little boy actors...

I'm afraid to ask if that's real.

Mega man x seems more catered to a Hollywood picture

It's the only commercial fighting game where you can beat the piss out of Jean Claude Van Damme with Raúl Juliá.

Guerrillas in the Mist · Sep 3, 2015

Obviously Hitman's reception hasn't dampened Fox's enthusiasm for game adaptations.

Dagobert Duck · Sep 3, 2015

lazygecko said:

That doesnt really fit, since MegaMan is called RockMan in Japan why not get Dwayne The Rock Johnson?

DiipuSurotu · Sep 3, 2015

I think Mega Man X would be easier to adapt in a movie.

spookyfish · Sep 3, 2015

Because Fox's other video game movies (Hitman. Max Payne?) have done SOOO well.

Is Rothman back?

dankir · Sep 3, 2015

Capcom won't make a new game but Fox wants to make a fucking movie??

If live action count me the fuck out.

jonno394 · Sep 3, 2015

Anything other than animated/CG will be awful.

thekonamicode · Sep 3, 2015

Came into the thread for Vin Diesel. Left satisfied.

Mr. Tone · Sep 3, 2015

Soundtrack from The Protomen?

Yes please.

RPGamer92 · Sep 3, 2015

Movie studios care more about Mega Man than Capcom now.

emb · Sep 3, 2015

I saw a fan made live action movie before... and it was actually pretty good.

I think this has potential.

Edit: Had time to look it up now:
