Retro_Link Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 http://uk.movies.ign.com/articles/115/1152720p1.html Sony Plans Devil May Cry Movie Devil May Cry is headed to the big screen. 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. I assume it'll follow the look of the previous games as they are far more stylised than the reboot. Although the films will then clash with the games, but the new look is crap anyway!

Daft Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Sony's Screen Gems are doing Priest which has Karl Urban and Paul Bettany in it. If they can make something as equally B-rate and enjoyable as that looks I'll be happy. They make great shitty watchable films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted March 1, 2011 Author Share Posted March 1, 2011 Yeah exactly, the first Resi film was decent enough, the second was alright (I haven't seen the third and fourth), so the first one in this new series should be watchable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) I've seen all of them. I think they're all as budget and crap as each other but they're also as enjoyable as each other. Perfect popcorn cinema. I also like how they have their own universe and have very little regard for the game's canon. Edit: The opening (the first minute, I think) to Afterlife is stunning. Genuinely I think it's brilliant. Edited March 1, 2011 by Daft Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieColeslaw Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 I would totally watch this, if they manage to pull off the over-the-top stylishness. I thought Dante looked sooo cool when DMC3 came out. I'm expecting a so-bad-it's-good result, Ã la Resi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Resident Evil and Apocalypse were good. Extinction and Afterlife were shit (although Afterlife is better than the entire runtime of Extinction because of the first five minutes). I'm not expecting much from this at all!
