Earlier today our very own guitar hero, Pat Torfe,
reported
here that the Capcom video game company will be creating an office in
Los Angeles, and will be preparing to bring some of it’s more popular titles to
the silver screen.
Well according to Horrormovies.ca, two of those titles may already be decided
upon. The games DEAD RISING and LOST PLANET will supposedly both be turned into feature
length films.
DEAD RISING is about a man named Frank West who takes
refuge in a shopping mall during a zombie epidemic, only to find that the mall
isn’t exactly safe. (And if the film is one-tenth as good as the game,
it’ll be awesome!)
In LOST PLANET human snow pirates
navigate VS (Vital Suits) through hostile ice-covered environments, fighting
against the indigenous Akrid creatures for the precious thermal energy they need
to survive. For one such pilot named Wayne, death almost seemed imminent until
he was fortunately rescued. However, he can only remember a few fragments of his
past including the slaying of his father by the monstrous beings. Yet under the
veil of ice, a devious plan has been set into motion for the termination of all
Akrid and snow pirates alike. What really happened to Wayne? Who is plotting the
destructive scheme? Encounter valuable allies and dangerous enemies on Wayne’s
search for the truth.
Capcom has always been great with gaming and hopefully they’ll be able to
continue that success in film. I know Pat’s looking forward to a DEVIL MAY CRY
film, while I am still hoping for a MEGA MAN movie. (Possibly played by
Shia
LaBeouf ?)
