A movie adaptation of Mega Man is reportedly moving forward: Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman, who recently directed “Nerve” and “Viral,” are in final negotiations to write and direct. I am having a difficult time imagining how they can translate the franchise into live action while keeping things faithful to the series.
Chernin Entertainment is producing the project with Heroes actor Masi Oka. Twentieth Century Fox worked for over two years to acquire the rights and finally closed a deal earlier this year. The video game, first released in 1987 by Capcom, centers on a robotic lab assistant created by a scientist named Dr. Light. Light is betrayed by a colleague, the disgruntled Dr. Wily, who reprograms a line of robots in order to take over the world. The lab assistant, nicknamed Rock, then upgrades himself into combat mode in order to save mankind.
