I'm beggining to become worried about Capcom. More and more this year, they have made choices which benefit their financial branch, and not their We will stay in the corner whilst you pummel us with another Street Fighter remake crowd. First Clover, creator of Capcom gems such as Viewtiful Joe and Okami, goes under the unscrupulous knife of fiscal surgery, now the games we know and love are preparing for ritual abuse at the hands of a film studio. Notably Sony Pictures. Whose second most popular franchise is the critically derided Resident Evil. Which, coincidentally, is a Capcom game.

The Cinematical article, while confusing in it's treating of Hollywood as some mythical, all-encompassing Film God ("Capcom has also hired a full-time liaison who will work closely with Hollywood and seek to develop as many ways to license, promote and exploit Capcom titles as possible" - Hollywood, Norse God of Cellulite), does lay some real information down. For instance, somebody liked the Resi films.

Rumoured are film translations of Devil May Cry, Dead Rising, Lost Planet (odd, considering it has been around for, ooh, 2 months?), and Onimusha. Intresting here, though, is not the game, but the film. These will be the first films produced by the company who designed the games (albeit in the loosest possible definition). it does lend some credibility to the upcoming Street Fighter film. Not starring a Van Damme man. Thank FSM.
