Devil May Cry Movie announced

I cannot believe how bold the the movie industry has been this week: First, a movie for Metal Gear Solid was greenlighted earlier this week, and now, my favorite action/adventure/hack-and-slash game of all time is also going to get the Hollywood treatment. That's right, be expecting the movie for Devil May Cry soon.

As long we're getting the classic Dante (DMC 1) or teenage Dante, (DMC3/UMVC3) I'm all for checking this out, but I'm still wondering how this is going to be pulled off, I don't think its going to be what I'm hoping for.

I'd liked to hear your thoughts about this, not most video game to movie transistions work well, so will it be a hit or miss for the dedicated fans like myself?

I knew this day would come and now I must prepare to see Hollywood destroy another game's franchise that I love so dear. It's gonna suck since "Screen Gems" has bought the rights and they screwed up on the "Resident Evil" movies.

So, they might as well, go two for two, and ruin another one of Capcom's beloved series cause I don't see this turning out good. I'm very concerned about who the actors are gonna be.

It reminds me of an old thread on here. Dante's Actor

So far the recent game movies in the development are Uncharted, Devil May Cry, and Metal Gear Solid. I just hope the directors and writers can portray the characters well and don't fuck everything up.

This party's gettin' crazy, let's ROCK.

Imagine that line on the big screen.

Hopefully they keep his classic look, no doubt they will, just hope they don't change it if the movie franchise continues. Ward only has a few movies to his name so fingers crossed to it being a good script.

I want it to work, but over time the video game-movie adaptions have failed me. Resident Evil just keeps going not really following the game and Silent Hill, while entertaining, flopped. I don't think they will be able to do the game justice.

Don't forget God of War. The script is almost finished.

What's with all these video games turning into movies?
Can't they come up with anything new nowadays?

My thoughts exactly. 2012 may not be the end of the world, but its definitely the end of originality.
