Giant video game franchise Capcom are deciding to follow Marvel even further to Hollywood. With Marvel banking off several franchises such as X-Men, Spider Man, Fantastic Four and now Iron Man, they’ve been able to maximize visibility of their company to audiences that may not even be familiar with their other characters and franchises.
Staple video game developer/publisher Capcom has a slew of franchises to use. Having already made successful movies off Resident Evil and a really subpar Street Fighter, this could be the right time to produce some great entertaining Hollywood friendly movies. Games such as Devil May Cry, Mega Man, Dark Stalkers, Ghouls N’ Ghosts and Bionic Commando could all be hits if producers and directors treated these stories and characters seriously. They have all been around for years garnering fans and have been greatly developed.
Though there is a Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li coming out, let’s hope that all future endeavors will be much better than what has stereotypically happened to video-game-to-movie movies.
