Lost Planet to be adapted from video game to movie - Blu-ray Forum

WB has picked up distribution rights to the film

Ari Arad and Steven Paul will produce through Seaside Entertainment, the shingle they formed to produce fantasy fare.

"Lost Planet," which was released in Japan in late 2006 and North America in early 2007, has sold over 2 million units. A sequel is believed to be in the works.

The vidgame revolves around an expedition to an ice planet that harbors an energy source with the potential to save mankind.

WB will have worldwide distribution rights on "Lost Planet."

Capcom is becoming an increasingly active participant in movie transfers of its vidgame hits. The publisher so far has had "Resident Evil" turned into three films, with a fourth in the works. It is currently partnered with Hyde Park Entertainment on a live action version of its game "Street Fighter" and has a feature version of "Onimusha" at Paramount.
