Extremely little is thought concerning the upcoming live-action Mega Man film that was introduced by Capcom and 20th Century Fox back in 2018, however it will seem that it’s, actually, a factor that’s nonetheless occurring, and there is even been some new data to come back out about it because of the current launch of Project Power on Netflix. Directors and writers Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman confirmed that Mattson Tomlin, who additionally wrote on Project Power, is also working on the Mega Man movie, and Tomlin has shared some new particulars as a part of an interview concerning the Netflix film as properly.
“My approach into it was all the time, what’s a compelling story?” Tomlin not too long ago told Polygon. “And what’s the actual soul of that character? We all type of know him as this cartoonish Blue Bomber who jumps and shoots, and to type of transcend that and understanding that, OK, visually it’s going to be a sure factor that’s going to please the video game fan, however you already know what’s the story on the middle? They’re like, what’s it that this character can actually undergo? It’ll be common and primal and emotional and everyone can type of relate to.”
When requested whether or not it was a children film just like the current Sonic the Hedgehog movie, Tomlin hedged however did say that “it’s not squarely within the child territory.” So, there you may have it: one thing not fairly for teenagers, however not an absolute R-rated monstrosity of a movie both. Sounds like “PG-13” to me!
