Because we all know how successful Video Game movies are CapCom has decided to get going on clearing its library of games to make some movies.
Japanese-based video game developer/publisher Capcom has revealed it plans to make a new batch of horrible video game movie adaptations. Capcom president Haruhiro Tsujimoto says he hopes his company will revitalize video game movies just as Marvel has revitalized comic book movies.
Every time we hear about a movie based on a video game we automatically assume the worst. The interesting thing is that Capcom prez Tsujimoto said he hopes to make a change in that perception.
The fact that he calls it a “revitalization” makes me think this is just fluff talk. I don’t recall an age when they were popular as much as they were plentiful. Lots of them hardly qualifies as quality. But at very least the best of them did offer some light entertainment, so they were not all terrible.
But imagine if you can, a change in how these movies are treated. Someone actually taking them serious and getting some real talent involved in delivering a quality film based on these franchises? Wouldn’t that be something!
If they were to do something that was on par with the excitement around IronMan and Batman, which franchise would you pick?
I would love to see Darkstalkers and of course, Megaman.
