Devil May Cry Becomes Movie

Posted by simoniker on from the capcom-don't-cry-about-royalties dept.

SaXisT4LiF writes "There's a newly posted Gamespot article that mentions Capcom licensing the movie rights to Devil May Cry. Devil May Cry is an awesome game, and this movie looks like it has a lot of potential." The Japanese production company involved, Gaga Communications, were also part of the optioning of the Onimusha movie, as mentioned a couple of weeks back.

    Yeah, movies based on video games will always have this problem. Having to inflate a pamphlet-sized plot up to two hours while still adhering to logic of the game's universe and gameplay is a challenge your average hack isn't up to.

    One of these days, someone will make a decent adaption. I mean, we're finally getting good Marvel Comics movies, and nobody thought that would happen.

    ... if they do make a movie for Devil May Cry... wont that be the first time in history when the movie lasts longer than the game itself.
