Classic fighting game series King of Fighters is set to receive a grand Hollywood adaptation in the glorious tradition of Street Fighter and Dragonball.
The movie uses actors nobody has ever heard of, and in the best tradition of Hollywood dispenses with the game’s highly developed setting and atmosphere in favour of some story centring on mysterious multidimensional alien artefacts.
The extremely stylish 2D character designs are perhaps one of the major selling points of the series, so naturally Hollywood has discarded them. Their loss seems unlikely to be well received by fans, especially considering what they have been replaced with.
The movie is set for a 2010 release.
Via Inside Games.
Having run out of novels and comics to plunder, it seems Hollywood is increasingly turning to anime and games, though considering the scant resemblance their productions bear to the original it is a wonder they bother…
This will be a great hit…wouldn’t you guys agree? grrrrr!
Jeezzz!! all bulk of you have to comes back when you grow up (like Kasumi Tendo said, LOL) is just market, you buy it or not, stop crying like a little puppy barking, it is my favourite VIDEO GAME franchise too but the games never have been considered a Literature Nobel Prize by it script and many KOF or SF characters where based on earlier movies, real person, actors (actress): Steven Segal, Robert Garcia, M. Bison(Balrog) Mike Tyson, Zangief a real wrestler i dont remember, Orochi saga, a legend from Japan, first DBall, The monkey King Chinese Legend, King, Cinthia Rothrock, Hon Fu, Jackie Chan, Choi Bounge, Freddy Krueger, etc. So dont get so serious, is just for fun ,if you are pissed off you are gettin too much serious.
One by one Hollywood is determined to r♥♥e every good game franchise they get their hands on. :sadface: =( ;_; :sadface:
I cried a bit.
WHYYYY????? NOT SNK!!! WHY WHY WHY WHY!???!!!? NOT KOF! Geese, hollywood, are you insane? only hardcore nerds like KOF, heck you have to be a nerd to have herd of KOF. Nerds, such as myself, do not approve of this and will not watch this crappy movie. I was in a good mood today, too. damn it, I sure hope this is a troll, I admit I am pretty RAGED right now.
