Live Action Mega Man Movie...(Incoming From 20th Century Fox)

[Himmel]

20th Century Fox is turning their attention towards the Mega Man Series.

The new film is being developed for Fox by Peter Chernin, via his Chernin Entertainment Company, who has also been involved in the reboot of The Planet Of The Apes Saga.

I don't know. The Mega Man games were always pretty straight forward side-scrollers. There wasn't much of a story there. Just collect different powers and defeat Dr. Wily(or some other bad guy). When Fox inevitably pads out the running time with some generic plot, we'll likely wind up with another medicore adaptation of a video game.

I'd be a little excited for this if it weren't Fox. Outside of the Apes and X-Men series their track record is questionable lately. Maybe if it were animated...

Holy Shit something new for once and not a remake! Im Game

Animated movie based on the recent Mega Man comics put out by Archie or GTFO.

I remember the original games had a fairly simple story, while the later ones got more complex. The first one told of scientists Albert Wily and Thomas Light being friends and partners, building six Robot Masters together for different purposes. They were designed to handled tasks too dangerous for humans, like Ice Man working in the Arctic. Then, at some point, Wily betrayed Light, and reprogrammed the Robot Masters as his slaves. Light had two personal aids of his own, named Rock and Roll (it was the '80s, let it go). Rock volunteered for upgrades to confront Wily, and became Mega Man.

I'd love to see an all-CG film, with a top-notch voice cast. Rob Paulsen would make an excellent Dr. Wily; he hasn't done many villains that I know of, so it would be a welcome change of pace for him.

I smell a critical and commercial bomb.

I think it could work if they respect the source, but unlike comics, so many filmmakers still choose otherwise when adapting video games.

I don't see how this could ever be a live action film. Or why anyone would want to turn Mega Man into a live action film. Whats he going to do, fly around in his mothership and beam down to different worlds, battling a unique boss at the end of each one. Culminating in a showdown between Mega Man and Dr Wiley??? I could see an animated film, that I know would work. Remember what a horrible POS the live action adaptation of Speed Racer was?

I never saw "Speed Racer", but I agree the series would work better as an all-CG film.

Speed Racer is one of the best movies ever made.

Speed Racer was a brilliant beautiful masterpiece that was ahead of its time.



if they can make a Mega Man movie half as good as Speed Racer, which admittedly they almost certainly can not, it will be brilliant.

I bought Speed Racer a few days ago I really need to watch it

In my dreams, the Wachowskis are given another blank check to make a Mega Man film.

In my dreams they made Jupiter Ascending into a quadrilogy like god intended.

And it will be an underappreciated flop that in a decade or two will be praised for how masterful and ahead of its time it was. Truthiness.
