Okay, Okay. You already know that I and several other Devil May Cry fans will be unhappy about this. If you've read my previous entry about the DMC5 game, or saw my Nero's reaction to DMC5 video, you'll get the idea.
Screen Gems has purchased feature film rights to Capcom's hit video game series "Devil May Cry," with the aim of kickstarting a new genre franchise.
Kyle Ward has been hired to pen the script, which revolves around the character of Dante, who avenges his mother's murder by killing off demons.
I noticed Hollywood has a habit of destroying a beloved original series by making them into live action movies. There have been several other video games made into movies such as Tekken and Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li. And let's not forget the anime series made into horrible live action movies such as Dragon evolution and The Last Airbender. Those movies were easily forgettable and did not live up to their reputation. They were given bad reviews by critics and fans of the original series. Then again, there have been some good movies based on video games like Prince of Persia and Resident evil.
So, I don't expect this movie to be any good. Once again, Hollwood just want's to make big bucks on a story that already had millions of fans. But I guess it's not all Hollywoods fault. If the creators didn't sell out to Hollywoods directors, the movies couldn't even be made. But then again, it might actually turn out good, but I'm not going waist my effort to hope for the best for something like this again.
