Forums - Gaming - Lost Planet movie will cost "between $150 to $200 million"

XB360FBNews: "Close your eyes. Wait, you aren't reading this news on a mobile device as your drive to work, right? No? Close your eyes. Think of Capcom and all of the properties they own. Now think about how rad it would be if Capcom really got involved in turning one of the those properties into a movie. A proper movie, we mean. Well, open those eyes dreamer because Capcom is committed to making a great movie based on one of their properties. Unfortunately, as you already know, they picked Lost Planet.

In a translated interview on the Capcom Investor site, Head of Character Content Business, Toshihiro Tokumaru noted the upcoming Warner Bros. adaptation of Lost Planet, "will cost somewhere between 150 and 200 million dollars to make," when production begins. Once again, they picked Lost Planet. Not hating on the choice but maybe they should throw a few dollars at the travesty that is slowly becoming The Legend of Chun-Li. Please?"

 

Lol? Lost Planet of all games?

Lost Planet is great choice as it has very easy to adapt cinematic like story. Plus a lot of food for amazing battle scenes.

Well let's hope it won't finish as Final Fantasy movie by Square :)

way too much money. theyre not going to make that all back, considering that lost planet wasn't the most amazing thing ever, and non gamers dont know bout it



they're going to lose money, I don't see them grossing the $400 millions needed just to break even.

wasn't there supposed to be an Onimusha movie?



Didn't Spider-Man 3 cost over 300 million to make?

I don't think Lost Planet is that popular to make back the money they spent. They'd have to pull some serious magic then.

Why ? Non gamers won't even have to know it's based on game story.

And with 200 mln that's enough to make A class holywood movie which has good chance at actually being watchable unlike Max Payne and other movie licenses.
