Fan-made Mega Man Movie Trailer Debuts

Posted by simoniker on from the actually-rather-excellent dept.

FortissimoWily writes "Following last week's rumors regarding Warner Bros. wanting to produce a Mega Man feature film, an amusing and very entertaining live-action fan-made movie trailer (which was created for a college project) has been making the rounds today, and is now being hosted on fansite Planet Mega Man in several resolutions [there's a BitTorrent link for the hi-res version, via GameTab]. Now, if only such a full-length movie were real..." That Dr.Wily can be so cantankerous, eh?

  1. Good job. by Shwag · · Score: 3, Informative

    Totally check it out. The movie is cool !

  2. Japanese cartoon thing by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 3, Funny

    Slashdotted? It's a Japanese cartoon thing. Hardly anyone is interested in Japanese cartoons, so they expected 3 hits per day on the web site. Now they have all these Slashdotters hitting the site thinking it is "Amiga Man".

  3. Games that become movies... by reiggin · · Score: 2

    rarely match up to the hype/expectations. Rather than name all the ones that have disappointed (Super Mario, Tekken, Final Fantasy, Tomb Raider, etc.), which ones have really succeeded? Is there any hope for a good movie from a video game? This Mega Man pseudo-trailer was interesting but what are the chances that the real thing would even be worth watching? Slashdotters, what makes a good Game-to-Big-Screen translation?

      I, personally, thought that Resident Evil was a good movie. Albeit, it really didn't follow much of the game's story line, the ending was a perfect setup for Resident Evil 2, though.

  4. Not bad! by antdude · · Score: 2, Informative

    Not bad for a fanmade trailer. Check it everyone! I am not a Mega Man fan either.

    Hardly, i could stream the hi-res with no problems... but i feel quite evil. ;)

  6. MK 1 didn't suck either by yerricde · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The conventional wisdom is that unlike the horrible Super Mario Bros. movie, Mortal Kombat didn't suck, although the sequel (Annihilation) did.
