Bosco685 Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 Quote Back in August we reported (via Variety) that the Mega Man live-action movie could have been shelved following Disney's acquisition of 21st Century Fox as a number of Fox-related films were reportedly cancelled mid-development. However, according to Capcom's latest financial results,the franchise is still poised for a live-action film adaptation. Here is the relevant statement regarding expanded brand-awareness: "... to generate synergy with its popular games via greater global brand awareness and value, the Company has been producing world-leading content, with brands such as Street Fighter and Resident Evil being made into Hollywood movies, now followed by Monster Hunter and Mega Man, which are also scheduled for live-action film adaptation." At this time, it remains to be seen if this is the same project that was intended to be produced by Masi Oka and written and directed by Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman. What's more, there's no indication of Disney is involved or if Capcom are shopping the film around to different studios/distributors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosco685 Posted December 13, 2021 Author Share Posted December 13, 2021 Quote Mega Man will soon be coming to Netflix in a live-action adaptation of the classic Capcom video game. IGN has learned from sources familiar with the project that the Mega Man film is still very early in development. However, it looks as though the streaming giant will bring Mega Man to our screens. Although the project is yet to be confirmed by Netflix, the film’s production company Supermarché let slip about the partnership during a recent website update. “Henry, Rel, and their in-house producer Orlee-Rose Strauss maintain an active development slate,” reads the official website. “Features in the works include an adaptation of Capcom's Mega Man for Chernin Entertainment and Netflix, which they wrote and are directing.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Hopefully they use X's design. There was this recent model kit that redesigned it, and it looked great. I'd love to see them use that as a starting point. I can't recall who the maker was, sadly. MetalPSI 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squabbles94806 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 I hope they don't flop this one... Mega Man aka Blue Bomber is me and my son's favorite! Sonic the Hedgehog movie wasn't terrible, but definitely something for the new school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalPSI Posted December 18, 2021 Share Posted December 18, 2021 This doesn't bode well as a live action Cartoon, absolutely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
