Mega Man to hit the big screen....?

[Hot Like Wasabi]

Megaman: Remember those "Superman" rumours last week? 'Mako' seems to have an explanation for how they began - "Got a kick out of the recent "news" that Shyamalan's been linked to Superman, no doubt because his name's been heard around Warner's quite a bit lately. So I figured I'd set the record straight. WB's been trying to get their mitts on the rights to the long running video game series Mega Man to turn into a feature film. Capcom, the creators, are wary of letting anyone touch the project, after a few disasterous licensing moves with the property as well as the recent "so so" reaction to other movie adaptations. The most recent move made was that the suits asked Capcom for a "wish list" of directors, and Shyamalan was the one name they came back with. I dunno what made them think that the nuanced style of M. Night would be perfect for adapting a colorful video game character, but there you have it. I seriously doubt MNS would lower himself to doing a video game adaptation, but who knows? I suspect the big guys upstairs are at least making an attempt, in the efforts to get the movie made... for some reason, they think it will be a big deal and potential franchise".

Very interesting. I don't know how M.Night's style would work with Mega Man. I also don't know how they would make the film without it looking cheesy.

i can't imagine a mega man movie being anything but terrible.

Probably doomed to be a failure. Interesting to see how it'll work out, though.

[Tragic]

No guys... it'll be cool... it'll be just like the game... you can watch any of the first 8 chapters in any order you want and then you'll have access to the last confrontation of the movie. It'll be great. Seriously. ... Great.

You know, a megaman X movie could be cool. If written properly, X could make a great tragic hero.

Any other use would probably lead to new worlds of suck.

They could get David Anez to write the script...

[FirstBlood]

I can imagine a quality action movie with some killer special effects with the megaman license.

I can also imagine a horrible cheese-fest with terrible costumes that try to be true to the game.
