Nothing will stop the giant Netflix’s hunger for destruction. Nothing at all. While the adaptations from the video game multiply, poor Mega Man could pay the price too.
The path for Capcom’s Blue Bomber continues to be winding and full of pitfalls: in 2017, the publisher expressed its desire to bring the Mega Man saga to the big screen by entrusting the 20th Century Fox project and screenwriters Henry Joost and Rel Schulman. A few calendar rounds later, plans may have changed, Dr. Wily not.
Robots strike back
In fact, the two scriptwriters seem to have given some information (now deleted) on their production company’s website: Supermarket (in French in the text). In a passage saved by the site Rockman cornerThe duo suggest that the film could now be broadcast on the Netflix platform in the form of a series:
Henry, Rel and their in-house producer Orlee-Rose Strauss are still active. Her current projects include an adaptation of Capcom’s hero Mega Man for Chernin Entertainment and Netflix., that they write and direct.
This now-vanished part of the sentence therefore suggests that the film could perhaps be streamed directly instead of going through a theatrical release, a move we now know is very delicate, the fault of a famous crowned virus The situation is becoming more and more uncertain …
Publication in 20XX
As you wait to see if the blow came so quickly from a discharge from Mega Buster, remember that the movie Mega Man was compounded by the arrival of another screenwriter, Mattson Tomlin, who expressed his desire to go to the depths of the Blue Bomber explore:
In the same way, with any other character, you have to introduce yourself as if they were a real person. My way of doing things has always been to ask myself: What makes a story so compelling? And what is the real soul of this character? We all know him as that cartoonish blue bomber that jumps and shoots. Visually, the character will appeal to fans of the video game, but do they know what is actually being played in it? What can this character really go through?
The film will be universal, original and moving so that everyone can somehow identify with it. So I’m really excited about this script, what the guys are going to do with this movie and I hope we can talk about it soon.
Whether or not the film airs on Netflix, we hope the soundtrack is up to par just to make the show proud. For its part, Capcom recently apologized for failing to celebrate its twentieth anniversary with dignity. What gives hope to all of humanity? Who knows…
