Capcom dates Onimusha, Clock Tower films

CVG reports:
" Capcom is celebrating its 25th birthday this week by slapping dates on two of its upcoming game-to-film adaptations.

Onimusha is the company's historical Japanese action series, which mainly graced the PS2. Clock Tower meanwhile, is one of the Japanese giant's lesser known survival horrors, which sees a little girl battling evil spirits."

Hopefully the Onimusha film uses the game's actor for role of Samanoske (spelling!?).

I was really looking forward to Clock Tower movie but with director of Hills Have Eyes 2 attached, I'm no longer interested.

Maybe they will get Jean Reno involved too!!! Ha ha...that would be funny.

MK_Red5793d ago

That would be indeed fun but Reno is only in Onimusha 3 and unless they're gonna start with that, I don't think he will be in it.

Have no fear, Takeshi Kaneshiro is on board to take his role as Samanosuke, the movie would have been an instant fail if he didn't. Almost like Hitman not using the actor Agent 47 was modelled after and who provides his voicework except on a far greater scale.

Christophe Gans is the director and I'm actually glad considering the work he did with Silent Hill. He's proven that he can stick to source material yet make it unique enough so that it's not just watching the game on the big screen. Now, off to see the Hulk and commence my MGS4 coma afterwards.

gaminoz5792d ago

Yeah...I wonder if N4G will be deserted during that MGS4 coma! I'm still waiting for my copy!

I'll give the movie a try if it comes out here in OZ.

EKWB reportedly plagued with financial disarray many gaming pc's left without parts

EK Cooling allegedly has slipped itself into a hot soup of seemingly endless financial woes, where it has not paid its staff, suppliers, and contractors for many months as the company is facing liquidity problems and a surplus of inventory left unsold, stuck in the warehouse for a more extended period. Gamers Nexus investigated these claims made by former and current personnel, where he found trails of unpaid bills lasting as long as three to four months and unpaid raises that accumulated for almost a year.

EK Water Blocks has two entities—a Slovenian-based headquarters and a US-based subsidiary, EK Cooling Solutions. Steve narrated the series of events in detail, stating that the company was reportedly irresponsible and negligent regarding payment. Consequently, partners and employees are forced to share the burden of alleged mismanagement. It all begins with its extensive range of products, leading to a surplus of goods. EK has over 230 water blocks, 40 liquid cooling kits, 85 reservoirs, 40 pumps, 73 radiators, and 212 miscellaneous accessories.

Yes this is not about video games directly but indirectly this will impact the pc gaming/workstation space hard.

This company is massive one of two in the water cool space so if it goes poof then thousands out there have no spare parts or half built computers.

SO yeah i know not about a video game but think of it as amd leaving the pc space but this is ekwb that could be leaving water cooling in the pc space
