Devil May Cry...The Movie ?

Variety reports that Sony's Screen Gems, the distribution outlet behind the Resident Evil film franchise, has purchased the movie rights to the Capcom game series in the hopes of starting the next big game-to-film franchise a la RE.

Screen Gems has hired Kyle Ward, who also penned the Kane & Lynch movie at Lionsgate, to write the screenplay. The video game's story follows Dante as he hacks and slashes his way through demons in his quest to avenge his mother's murder.

The first whispers of a Devil May Cry live-action feature film were made almost eight years ago when Tokyo-based film distributor Gaga Communications landed the screen right from Capcom; they had hoped to be in production by 2005.

Sooo....who else thinks this is gonna suck hard ?

what's your opinion? in my opinion i want no movie, games that then turn into movies are complete shit, just look at the mortal kombat, street fighter , resident evil, DRAGON BALL(AMERICA NEEDS TO SAY SORRY TO JAPAN FOR THIS MOVIE). they all sucked in my opinion

Believe it or not, I read somewhere that in Asia the Dragon Ball movie was extremely successful. The only issues that I heard they had was that Goku was white. Also Mortal Kombat was not bad. It was actually fun to watch. The first one anyway. I haven't seen the others nor do I have a desire to.

My happy ps2 memories are dying left and right these days

I wonder who is gonna be Dante..
hmmmmm.

haha mines are still alive my ps2 is 7 years strong and couting

Ugh, they better not be serious about this. I like the anime better but I don't think it needs a live-action version. Derivativeness is going too far.

man, i just hope they dont use an american to play an asian like they did to dragonball and SF:the legend of chun li

Games based on movies are usually crap. I don't think it will be any better the other way around.

They better get Ruben Langdon to do it. He did the stunts, motion capture, and voice for Dante. If he's not in it then it will suck.
