he's right nobody else would be able keep up with dantes moves CGI is the only way to go holly woods version would be shitty I'm with this guy one hundred percent
AlphaOmegaSin, ,dude, you did indeed bring up many very good points about the current DMC predicament. One of which is that one of the reasons why many past video game adapted movies fail so horribly is because Hollywood have a difficult time "embracing" the storyline of the game and truly understanding the characters on a thorough level. CGI adaptations of the game (like resident evil degeneration) are spot on and true to the universe of that game realm.
You're awesome man XD Hollywood could never do it, true. What Capcom should do, is make a frickin' CG movie like they did with Resident Evil and FF7! And I typed that right before...you said that they should make a CG movie.
At first I thought Garrett Hedlund could be a live action candidate for Dante, but I agree with you Alpha. Doing animation like Degeneration is the best path this can take to assure comfort with those familiar with the series. Throw in Vergil and Dante's original voice actors from the game, include story about their mother dying, and a prequel about Sparda's sealing of the demon world, and you have a kick ass animated movie series. If they consider your opinions, the movie can turn out awesome.
from a financial and tech standpoint, a CGI film would be more cost effective, and like you said, Dante is going to be damn hard to act out. there's a resi degen 2 in the works?
director: Guillermo del Toro dante: andrew garfield vergil: hayden christensin trish: Charlize Theron lady: olivia thirby costume designers: mix of the guys from hellboy, resident evil, edward scissorhands script: already written. can't do shit about that :P can be a good movie if the right people are involved
Lets pretend we get a good script and hire a actual kungfu director, who will play dante. Reuben Langdon, who??? A saught after stunt actor in hollywood who is a pretty good martial artist. Hes provided mocap for video game characters like Chris Redfield and ken masters...he also voiced ken. But all that aside, how does that qualify him?? Hes the voice actor and motion capture artist for Dante since DMC3 Dantes face is actually simular to his. Reuben is dante, so yes, a live action dante is possible.
there's only one guy that can properly direct a dmc live action movie and its guillermo del toro,he can make action flicks with supernatural characters watch blade 2 and hellboy,he can thrive on dark fantasy settings watch pan's labyrinth,and yeah he can go japanese if he wants watch pacific rim,del toro should base this on dmc 3 though with the sequel based on the first dmc game
(continued) In resident evils case though, the first movie wasn't necessarily so bad, because the storyline of that movie could have easily fit in with the timeline of the game like before, during, or even possibly after the mansion incident that us die hard fans know and love. Where they went wrong was the second movie on after. They had a chance to make a good film that would satisfy the gaming fans and attract a bigger fanbase altogether, but instead continue on with Alice.
I hope they decide to go with the lore in Ninja Theory's reboot game if a movie is ever made. Chances are, they'll get more story material from that game. The last time the original DMC series was adapted into anything, it was that anime series. Animation quality aside, that anime's plot sucked.
I do agree with using cgi I honestly dont want to even try ninja theories devil may cry and once that movie comes out if it has original dante I will give chance just because I want to see for myself if they messed up or not but I think you have indeed hit the the nail on the head
I reckon it could work in live action, if its directed by someone who played the games when they first came out. Look at Resident Evil, if you watch the special feature's in the interview with Paul Anderson, he says he did play the games when they first came out. Thats how he was able to make the movie good cause being a gamer he actually cared about the project
Not matter what ninja theory really does it can really only be mediocre at best. Unless they decide on like completly changing up the storyline where it just basically has the DMC atmosphere but not related to the ingame characters it might work. There are a few movies on the top of my head which I can't remember right know that did that and actually pulled it off quite nicely.
God i love this guy hes awesome and speaks for all of us when i saw the tittle "Devil may cry movie" i wanted to cry... Think about it Avatar the last air bender, Dragonball, DOA, Resident Evil... Whatever game or anime they get in their greasy hands its messed up
Heh, I always wondered how Ninja Theory plans to make over 5 million sales on the first week's release of their "DmC." Hollywood has a habit injecting their originality on any title that they can get their hands on, so unless they actually get "inspired" by the actual game's stylized, crazy, high-speed action sequences (slow motion will only ruin it) then they're pretty much doomed from the start. Oh, and Advent Children was supposed to be an actual game, but was turned into a movie instead.
What if Ryan Renolds was Dante? Now I have never played the games but my friend told me he is similar to Deadpool in many ways. And from what I have heard Mr. Rendolds is going to be Deadpool in his mivoe and that sounds pretty bad ass.
I absloutely love the resident evil movies even though it doesn't follow the storyline of the games. It does have characters from the games, just in a different storyline.
lol u make good point nd i watchd vid were they slowd down tha trailer nd lyk almost all dantes hair in tha back is white. idk was they playing on di wit dante or this effed up movie u speak of but i hope they dnt screw it up that bad lyk they did wit biohazard. i rlly love dmc nd i dnt want it to mess up or has bad rep. :0
The Leon Kennedy actor Johan Urb should play Dante because the two charater look exactly alike and Urb is like one in in their group of triplets. Also Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt would suffice.
Theres not that much to argue over, it could go really well or really badly, we cant tell until a trailer is released. But at least Josh Holloway kinda looks like Dante, but so far, thats the only thing that is concrete.
The only stunt actor i can see pulling this off would be Scott Atkins and even then your right physics wouldn't allow the human body to move like that lol.
that's correct i see nobody else playing live action dante but reuben langdon.give the guy some make-up/facial effects to make him look younger and you're good
@CaptainPucky I might go back,and check them out,but control's are crucial to me,especially in a zombie game.I have a feeling after the horrid Afterlife film that even I hated,if they keep making good games,then Alice will be gone,and it will be much more like the games too.As far as Dante,and DMC goes they probably won't give fan's what they want exactly,they never do.Let's just hope it doesn't totally suck.We should all pray for it to be decent.
Courtesy of Kotaku: "It'll be a live-action project, written by Kyle Ward, who has also penned the upcoming (and long in production hell) Kane & Lynch movie adaptation. . . " "Those hoping this will feature the old Dante, sorry. Capcom says this film will be based on the new Dante design for the upcoming series reboot/prequel, DmC." Fuck this.
I agree with AlphaOmegaSin 100%. There is no way a real life actor can live up to the Dante we all know and love. I was never a RE fan but I do love Street Fighter. Well I've yet to see a decent SF movie that wasn't animated. DMC needs to be done in a CG fashion just like FFVIIAC and then that would be perfect. I wouldn't mind seeing a ninja gaiden cg movie too.
I agree with a lot of what you say Alpha. Not only was this franchise almost damaged by DMC 2 (which isn't too bad but 1 and later versions were better), Ninja Theory and now Hollywood are going to ruin this great series and character. I fear what they are going to do to Sparda and Virgil who are some of my favorite characters, and with what has been done to many other games here's another one to add to the list of casualties. If anything I hope they reconsider and do a CG film instead.
I agree with what you say 100%. The only possible way to have a decent movie is to have a Gamer/Fan of the series to make it. Still it could not work at all. The only thing I see that would work would be CGI !!!!
To be fair, Dante's own actor (Reuben Langdon) might be able to pull off Dante, but no one ever asks the voices themselves (according to Nolan North). So it'll probably be pretty bad if it really is live-action. NT needs to die or be bought by a console maker (so that Capcom has no choice but to stop working with them to keep the series multiplat)
You are right, Dante cannot be live action. I doubt the movie will be CG because that approach has only been done twice. I have a feeling that it will fail as much as the Super Mario Brothers movie, if you could imagine.
I just laugh at Capcom because fans were begging and pleading for a Resident Evil Reboot. Instead they said Resident Evil doesnt need a reboot but DMC does.
watch it as a seperate from the games jesus.. i played dmc since it came out but seriously its gonna be good to watch and see their point of view on it..
I haven't gotten a chance to play any of the DMC games as of yet....However I do know of Dante's badassery. Hollywood, Ninja Theory, just stay the fuck away from good games like DMC.
The only way a live action movie would be good is if they got Reuben Langdon ( The voice and motion capture for Dante, DMC 3 and 4) to play Dante. Any one else would just suck. But I think that a CGI movie would most likey be the best bet. lets hope right.

What if it was a 3d animation movie like degeneration with the regular dante then would you think it's good?
he's right nobody else would be able keep up with dantes moves CGI is the only way to go holly woods version would be shitty I'm with this guy one hundred percent
Then they never even made a Devil May Cry movie
Was this shit cancelled? I don't remember this being a thing
Totally agree with you, also what did you think of the Devil May Cry Anime. ps youur shirt is awsome
Being a hardcore Devil May Cry fan myself, I'm kinda excited...
But IF they fuck this up.... Oh boy....
I've always said that DmC is basically how Hollywood would do a DMC film.
I agree with you on sooo many levels, I can't put into words how awesomely right you are!
AlphaOmegaSin, ,dude, you did indeed bring up many very good points about the current DMC predicament. One of which is that one of the reasons why many past video game adapted movies fail so horribly is because Hollywood have a difficult time "embracing" the storyline of the game and truly understanding the characters on a thorough level. CGI adaptations of the game (like resident evil degeneration) are spot on and true to the universe of that game realm.
i very much enjoy these rants. i need a cool opening for my videos
You're awesome man XD Hollywood could never do it, true. What Capcom should do, is make a frickin' CG movie like they did with Resident Evil and FF7! And I typed that right before...you said that they should make a CG movie.
The CGI idea would be the best one for Devil May Cry.
this can be the final nail in the DMC coffin
NIGHTMARE MAN NIGHTMARE.
Done correctly a Devil May Cry movie would be so badass. Especially if someone like John Woo directed it.
Lol Dantes bad assery is off the fucking charts
They should just make a cg movie, to hell with Hollywood
At first I thought Garrett Hedlund could be a live action candidate for Dante, but I agree with you Alpha. Doing animation like Degeneration is the best path this can take to assure comfort with those familiar with the series.

there's a resi degen 2 in the works?
I agree 100%. Also watching this rant video makes me want to listen to Into Eternity for some reason...
If they do up a DMC movie, in the same light that they did with Advent Children, I think we're all gonna be happy.
Edward Cullen Dante... nightmares inbound -___-
You sir, are awesome!
I thought of the image of the movie poster, I cried
I think the franchise will grow like resident evil with movies.
I am really hoping that the devil may cry movie doesn't suck. Like the Dragonball Evolution movie,Green Lantern movie & The Last Airbender movie did.
director: Guillermo del Toro
dante: andrew garfield
vergil: hayden christensin
trish: Charlize Theron
lady: olivia thirby
costume designers: mix of the guys from hellboy, resident evil, edward scissorhands
script: already written. can't do shit about that :P
can be a good movie if the right people are involved
So True!
btw. i think you would play a good Joker in a batman movie!
@MetalMusicFanGuy Thank you. Thank you for saying what I was thinking.
Lets pretend we get a good script and hire a actual kungfu director, who will play dante.
Reuben Langdon, who???
A saught after stunt actor in hollywood who is a pretty good martial artist. Hes provided mocap for video game characters like
Chris Redfield and ken masters...he also voiced ken.
But all that aside, how does that qualify him??
Hes the voice actor and motion capture artist for Dante since DMC3
Dantes face is actually simular to his.
Reuben is dante, so yes, a live action dante is possible.
Jean claude vandam as Dante
Thank you. Someone with sense.
@KryptoWolf Reuben Landon is Dante's voice actor, mo-capper, and character model.
You need a lot more recognition.
there's only one guy that can properly direct a dmc live action movie and its guillermo del toro,he can make action flicks with supernatural characters watch blade 2 and hellboy,he can thrive on dark fantasy settings watch pan's labyrinth,and yeah he can go japanese if he wants watch pacific rim,del toro should base this on dmc 3 though with the sequel based on the first dmc game

YES ANOTHER RANT! Love these so damn much

I want to see the Twilight guy play Dante
finally someone who considers the CG thing. There is just no other way to portray these video game characters
God i love this guy hes awesome and speaks for all of us when i saw the tittle "Devil may cry movie" i wanted to cry... Think about it Avatar the last air bender, Dragonball, DOA, Resident Evil... Whatever game or anime they get in their greasy hands its messed up
What they need to do is through a trailer out there and the plan b would be all cg
You forgot the guitar that shoots bats.
Heh, I always wondered how Ninja Theory plans to make over 5 million sales on the first week's release of their "DmC." Hollywood has a habit injecting their originality on any title that they can get their hands on, so unless they actually get "inspired" by the actual game's stylized, crazy, high-speed action sequences (slow motion will only ruin it) then they're pretty much doomed from the start.

Jet Li could be Dante. Ok, the young Jet Li could be Dante.
I absloutely love the resident evil movies even though it doesn't follow the storyline of the games. It does have characters from the games, just in a different storyline.
lol u make good point nd i watchd vid were they slowd down tha trailer nd lyk almost all dantes hair in tha back is white.
idk was they playing on di wit dante or this effed up movie u speak of but i hope they dnt screw it up that bad lyk they did wit biohazard. i rlly love dmc nd i dnt want it to mess up or has bad rep. :0
The DMC live shitfeast from sony will be released in 2016. With any luck the movie will never come.
The Leon Kennedy actor Johan Urb should play Dante because the two charater look exactly alike and Urb is like one in in their group of triplets. Also Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt would suffice.
Theres not that much to argue over, it could go really well or really badly, we cant tell until a trailer is released. But at least Josh Holloway kinda looks like Dante, but so far, thats the only thing that is concrete.
"His badassery Level" is probably over 9000 lol!
i also heard that Hollywood was going to make an assassins creed movie :(
i see nobody else playing the role of dante but reuben langdon
If the company gets ideas from the anime cartoon from funimation because that devil may cry cartoon was like the game but with more cutscences.
me to how put robert paterson in the jaw trap form saw without the key and just wach
The only stunt actor i can see pulling this off would be Scott Atkins and even then your right physics wouldn't allow the human body to move like that lol.
There is allready movie similar to DMC at least in gunplay. Its called Equilibrium.
It would be awesome if they got Reuben Langdon to be a live Dante.... but yeah.... Hollywood wouldn't do that for us fans... :(
i only noticed after my ex made me watch twilight i went and watched the hp series saw him die and celebrated
I like the song on this intro better XD
No no one can be as badass as Dante they should make a cgi movie then a real one
that's correct i see nobody else playing live action dante but reuben langdon.give the guy some make-up/facial effects to make him look younger and you're good
NO! FUCKING WITH THINGS WE FUCKING CARE ABOUT MAKES US FUCKING VIOLENT!!!! Agreed
when will people learn....DON'T FUCK WITH ICONIC CHARACTERS
it only ends up baddly
@hunterzax And Bloodrayne, Alone in the Dark, and The House of the Dead happened to be produced by the same person.
he CLEARLY hasn't played the new DmC yet
They could just get Reuben Langdon.
yes he was cedric digory the kid that voldermort killed in the 4th movie
@CaptainPucky I might go back,and check them out,but control's are crucial to me,especially in a zombie game.I have a feeling after the horrid Afterlife film that even I hated,if they keep making good games,then Alice will be gone,and it will be much more like the games too.As far as Dante,and DMC goes they probably won't give fan's what they want exactly,they never do.Let's just hope it doesn't totally suck.We should all pray for it to be decent.
Only Sam Raimi should write and direct it.
The only Resident Evil movies that was worth a damn was the CGI movie.
Sorta of off subject but I am worried about what Hollywood might do to mass effect.
Courtesy of Kotaku:
"It'll be a live-action project, written by Kyle Ward, who has also penned the upcoming (and long in production hell) Kane & Lynch movie adaptation. . . "
"Those hoping this will feature the old Dante, sorry. Capcom says this film will be based on the new Dante design for the upcoming series reboot/prequel, DmC."
Fuck this.
Devil May Cry gets a movie but not Zelda?! well, someone is about to get hurt...
I looked up Devil May Cry, and apparently they made a show based on it. It only had, like, 6 episodes, so, IDK.
I agree with AlphaOmegaSin 100%. There is no way a real life actor can live up to the Dante we all know and love. I was never a RE fan but I do love Street Fighter. Well I've yet to see a decent SF movie that wasn't animated. DMC needs to be done in a CG fashion just like FFVIIAC and then that would be perfect. I wouldn't mind seeing a ninja gaiden cg movie too.

If anything I hope they reconsider and do a CG film instead.
this is why i had a beef with the blood rayne movie it was so fucking different from the game
if the movie becomes a fuck up i would not be surprise because every single movie that is based on video games Hollywood fuck it up.
I agree. Ruben knows the moves, did the voice, heck its his body haha. Just because he isn't famous, it is highly unlikely.
I'm not a big time actor but the fans can pull off a better dante than any actual actor even if they don't look like him
I agree with what you say 100%. The only possible way to have a decent movie is to have a Gamer/Fan of the series to make it. Still it could not work at all. The only thing I see that would work would be CGI !!!!

NT needs to die or be bought by a console maker (so that Capcom has no choice but to stop working with them to keep the series multiplat)
if its all CG it would be perfect
what's the intro song of these videos?
great rant i agree good sir
You are right, Dante cannot be live action. I doubt the movie will be CG because that approach has only been done twice. I have a feeling that it will fail as much as the Super Mario Brothers movie, if you could imagine.
i believe that if they do stick with the original dante that the movie could (i repeat, could) be okay i guess.
I just laugh at Capcom because fans were begging and pleading for a Resident Evil Reboot. Instead they said Resident Evil doesnt need a reboot but DMC does.
if they ever made devil may cry into a movie. this is goin fuckin suck so much ass in a fuckin heat beat !!!!!!
i seriously can't think of an actor who can portray the role of dante or vergil, its just not possible
It is based on Ninja Theory's DMC Devil May Cry :'( 1% chance of success now IF its CGI
Hollywood never learns video game adaptions arent good they suck i even heard about a god of war movie god knows how that will come out
watch it as a seperate from the games jesus.. i played dmc since it came out but seriously its gonna be good to watch and see their point of view on it..
I haven't gotten a chance to play any of the DMC games as of yet....However I do know of Dante's badassery. Hollywood, Ninja Theory, just stay the fuck away from good games like DMC.
SOO TRUE SOO TRUEE IF THEY FUCK IT UP WE START A WAR ON FUCKEN CAPCOMMM
The only way a live action movie would be good is if they got Reuben Langdon ( The voice and motion capture for Dante, DMC 3 and 4) to play Dante. Any one else would just suck. But I think that a CGI movie would most likey be the best bet. lets hope right.
