5 Properties We Wouldn't Mind M****** B** Bringing to the Big Screen
4. MegaMan NT Warrior
It's just corny enough, just silly enough, and just frantic enough with an appropriate scope that M****** B** could really do wonders with this technical world. Think of it as M****** B**'s Tron without anyone throwing a hissy-fit about him sodomizing MegaMan through the blaster. MegaMan is certainly a hallowed property in the gaming world and he's never had much luck in the live-action department (just search "live action MegaMan" in YouTube for proof), but there's definitely a workable premise there for some great big-budget set pieces. And let's face it, in the hands of good screenwriters, B** is a very capable director. He's got a superb visual eye and a wonderful appetite for large-scale destruction. And his films, though seemingly digitally over-stylized, do look pretty fantastic when you aren't mistaking the actors on screen for Oompa Loompas. Considering that this is a property that's bright and makes good use of a digital world, there could be a lot of things that translate well for Mr. B**. Also, this version of MegaMan would pacify those who would fight to the death if the "original, true" MegaMan was ever touched. And, of course, if you need some help visualizing the possibilities, here's a fairly low-budgeted live-action MegaMan project. http://youtu.be/kZ2NA--PFbE
Cameron Carpenter is an aspiring screenwriter, current film and journalism student, and self-diagnosed cinephile, which only sounds bad in certain circles. Devoted fan of comics, movies, theater, Jesus Christ, Sidney Lumet, and Peter O'Toole, he sometimes spends too much time on his Scribd and comicbookmovie.com, but doesn't think you're one to judge, devoted reader. You can follow him on Twitter to watch him talk to people you didn't know exist. Oh, and Daredevil is quite the big deal around here (my head).
