Capcom: We don't care if movies based on our properties are bad... - A Black Falcon - 3rd March 2009 We make money either way! http://www.gamedaily.com/articles/news/capcom-dismisses-street-fighter-movie-reception-taking-marvellike-approach-to-hollywood/?biz=1 (via VE3D) Quote:Although this editor has not yet seen the new Street Fighter movie, we understand – thanks to Destructoid – that Capcom's branding is very much upfront in the film, as opposed to the Resident Evil movies from Sony Pictures. Marvel Comics has really reinvigorated its business through its movies, and Capcom is now looking to similarly boost its business by leveraging its own IP on the silver screen.

Will we see one for the Legend of Chun Li? Isn't that cocky haw-haw-hawing frenchman who directed Silent Hill directing Onimusha? I seem to remember that but I don't feel like looking it up. Might be okay. [edit] Okay, curiosity got the best of me and here's the latest source I could find on Christophe Gans and Onimusha. Looks like it's on hold and Gans is working on something else: http://www.aintitcool.com/node/36180 Capcom: We don't care if movies based on our properties are bad... - A Black Falcon - 3rd March 2009 Yeah, Street Fighter: The Movie: The Game was a prerendered, sort of SF-meets-MK arcade fighting game developed in the US. There was then a console version (PSX and Saturn), with the same graphics but made by a different team from the arcade version, so evidently the gameplay isn't the same. A year or two ago the lead creator of the arcade version answered questions about the game on Shoryuken... some interesting stuff. But yeah, both are considered pretty awful... haven't played them myself, though. If I find a cheap copy of the PSX/Saturn game I'd consider it, for the entertainment value...

When shall we see the Spider Man of video game movies? Not soon likely... |
