Capcom Goes Hollywood

FEVERFollowing the success of the two released Resident Evil films and a new Street Fighter flick featuring Chun Li in the works, Capcom is looking to its other franchises to expand its presence in Hollywood. The Hollywood Reporter talked to new senior VP of licensing Germaine Gioia about where Capcom will look to expand on its movie licensing.

She reveals that both Onimusha and Devil May Cry have been optioned as film properties but that we shouldn't expect to see either IP hit theaters or see a direct to DVD release any time soon. Capcom may also be beefing up the company's stateside executive presence to speed up the approval process.
