I don’t blame you…again
Back in 2017it was casually revealed that Masayori Oka (ofHeroesfame) was still the producer a live actionMega Manmovie. Script work had already began, and Oka spoke about how hard it was to adapt “game mechanics” to film. Late last night Capcom announced that it was official, and people seemed to forget that this project was already happening: with the state video game films are in, I get it.
Anyway yes, it is officially official, and it seems like that script work Oka was struggling with was good enough for Capcom in the end. Tentatively it’s called “Mega Man,” and will feature a co-directorial team of Ariel Schulman and Henry Joost, who frequently collaborate together and have tag-teamed the viralCatfishback in 2010. Capcom also boasts that they are increasingly expanding into the film and television business with theirResident Evilproperty all wrapped up, as well as the upcomingMonster Huntermovie andMega Man: Fully Chargedon Cartoon Network.
Given that Oka’s only producer credit to date is the live action western adaptation ofDeath Note, I have no idea what to expect. We might get another out-there conversion where the general gist is there, but the story is so widely altered that fans can’t enjoy it, and if the quality isn’t there: the rest of the audience won’t either.
