Devil May Cry is Hollywood-bound too |

Variety repots that Capcom's slasher title is indeed Hollywood-bound, thanks to Screen Gems' purchase of its feature film rights. Manning the pen for this project is no other than Kyle Ward. Included in his portfolio is the scriptwriting stint for another videogame-movie adaptation, Kane & Lynch.
Capcom has previously teamed up with Screen Gems for the Resident Evil movie franchise. It was a big hit, as it turned, out, so it's not really surprising that Capcom would want to partner up with them again for the movie debut of another of their top-grossing titles.
Devil May Cry, as a franchise, garnered some US$ 580 million in worldwide grosses. From the first introduction of Dante in the first iteration back in 2001, the franchise is now up at title number five, with DMC V being developed by Ninja Theory. Keiji Inafune has previously divulged that they intend to give the latest iteration a more Wetern touch "to make it more attractive to American and European players."
Typical Hollywood youngster.
Apart from tweaking up the theme of the game, they're also giving Dante a makeover, supposedly by presenting him in a younger version. This movie adaptation expands the DMC franchise, which not only stands as a game brand, but is now also available via anime and manga mediums.
Now that the talks of a movie is no longer a mystery, the next question we can ponder on is what storyline will it follow? And of course, there's also the matter on the actors who play the lead. Who's your bet to play Dante's role?
Think about that; in the meantime, we'll be sure to keep you posted on any more updates regarding this.

In all honesty, instead of 'big budget hollywood', this film would be better off made using asian film production values.... better yet, get some high profile Male (or female I guess, not that I'd tell Dante he tends to the effeminate sometimes ;) )J-Pop Idol to fill the roll.
