What happened dmc live-action movie?

[Vinosh]

Long ago it was said will be dmc live action movie. Since then, the years go by the dmc movie not made. What is the reason ,not made the dmc movie.

 

[V's patron]

not every movie announced gets made as thing dont always stay together like financing etc or maybe just they just never decided to actually go through with it.

If Capcom never annouced it, it was never real, just a rumour. Until I see an offical statement from Capcom I don't believe it was ever planned or in production.

 

[Chancey289]

In production limbo I guess. They had it green lit and supposedly found a director, but I haven't heard anything since.

DC was also going to release a series of Capcom title comics, including RE and DMC. There have already been several announcements for a DMC film and they never come to fruition. It's just how it goes. Projects fall through the cracks all the time.

I'm still lamenting at the loss of the Metroid movie directed by John Woo :'(

Someone did indeed purchase the film rights and capcom made an announcement about it as well...

Apparantly it will be based off DmC... Someone said a 'Dante Origin Story'.
But, it seems like nothing has happened, yet. Or, if it has, they're keeping quiet about it.

Come to think of it, that Death Note movie seems to have gone the same way...

Hopefully it's dead and never coming back.

Maybe they've gone through too many stuntmen and blew their budget so they had to stop production? x3
You never really hear about new movies while they're in production anyway. Maybe near the end of production when they're doing the editing or whatnot, they'll start leaking trailers, and movies can sometimes take up to a year to two years to film. Or that's my understanding of the process.

That's strange because I watched the Death Note movie a couple of years back. It wasn't all that great so you're not missing out on much.

Whys that?

 

[Innsmouth]

Most likely they expected something different upon DmC release and now just decided to spare cost.

One thing I will give the Death Note movies, is that the ending for the films were sooooooo much better than the actual anime/manga.

Well Hollywood hasn't had the best of luck when it comes to adapting video games and anime in the past so people are a little skeptical. After all they did screw up Max Payne:banghead: which should have been easy to do because Hollywood was built on film noirs/ crime thrillers.

But recent successes with marvel/dc, Prince of Persia, street fighter/mortal kombat web shows that a DMC/DmC/dMC etc movie could work out.

 

[Meg]

Whys that?

Because it would be based on DmC and I thought the story and characters were all terrible.

 

[DragonMaster2010]

Even so I'd still like to see a movie based on the lure of DmC with the good things of DMC put in.

If its a good movie, i wouldnt mind either take being used.

Or if someone could do a brilliant third take on DMC as im not really digging either DMC4/anime or DmC that would be cool.

options baby options

There are two options I'm thinking of, when it comes to adapting a DMC anime:

I don't know if anyone remembers, but a while back there was an F-Zero anime called GP-Legend. The localized version was a complete mess (mostly because it was botched to death by the immeasurable drooling epitomes of witless stupidity over at 4Kids), but the original Japanese version depicted a story that didn't follow any particular game or continuity, and told its own original story. However, every character followed their in-game depictions 100% accurately, and the struggle between Captain Falcon and Black Shadow was adapted flawlessly from the game mythos.

On the other hand, the Sengoku Basara anime goes down as the sole anime that follows the plot of its video game counterpart to an almost flawless degree, while taking thematic liberties when it needs to. So far, the events of Devil Kings, Basara 2, and Basara 3: Samurai Kings have all been adapted to near-perfection, with the occasional straying for the sake of including more interesting arcs or character traits.

A Devil May Cry anime could do either of those: tell its own stand-alone story while accurately retaining the traits and personalities of already-existing characters, or retell the stories in more thematic and believable fashion.

people would prefer the second option more than the first because it builds off familiar elements and nostalgia where the first options offers more uncharted territory.

I'd prefer the first as im not fond of DMC has progressed storywise so i wouldnt mind seeing something new.

I would like to see a CGI movie, like the Resident Evil ones. I found both actually very good.
