Video game movies are still big business, and rightfully so considering the success of the Silent Hill and Resident Evil film franchises (among others). And despite the director of the first Silent Hill film, Christophe Gans (as well as that movie’s screenwriter Roger Avery) leaving the Silent Hill film franchise, Sony Pictures will still be making a Silent Hill 2 movie (This in addition to the Tekken movie).

Gans however will not be leaving the realm of video game movies entirely. It has just been announced that Gains will be adapting Capcom’s Onimusha game series into a new Onimusha flick, thanks to his successful work on the Silent Hill movie.

Production on Onimusha is reportedly scheduled to begin in April, and movie website ComingSoon.net has been fed the synopsis for the series’ big screen debut. Check it out:

Onimusha Artwork In feudal Japan, 1582, the warlord Nobunaga is ambushed by ninjas, led by the brave samurai Samanosuke. Trapped, Nobunaga commits seppuku, but two sinister sorcerers reanimate Nobunaga’s corpse with a half-human insect larvae. The resurrected Nobunaga orders the capture of two very special women to fulfill his evil plans.

When Britta, the daughter of a Dutch merchant, is abducted on board a ship by seemingly invincible warriors, her tutor and confidant Jacob pursues her captors, vowing to rescue her at all costs. Meanwhile, the beautiful Princess Yuki is also kidnapped, this time by ninjas that reveal themselves, incredibly, to be part spider. In search of Yuki, Samanosuke joins forces with Jacob to vanquish their common foe. In the Cave of Elders, he receives a magical sword that will slay all within its reach-friend or foe-and learns of a sinister ceremony at Inabayama Castle intended to blot out the sun.

Performing a dangerous, stealthy invasion of the castle, Samanosuke and Jacob find the women they love dressed as Moon Princess and Daughter of the Sun, ready to be wed to and ravished by Nobunaga. Aided by their allies, the two warriors attack the insectoid hordes, but Samanosuke falls in battle, seemingly dead. In a mystical encounter, he is given the option to survive and fight-but it comes at a terrible cost . . .

Sounds good to me! — Via 1-Up

THE ONIMUSHA FILM PLOT.

The plot is meant to be more to the first game with Genma demons and Samanosuke leading the clan to fight the Nobunaga.Samanosuke saves Princess
Yuki and he falls in love with Kaede not Yuki.
I’m a bit annoyed on the script and it needs to be rewritten again and try make it true to the first game.
Thank You.

make it more dark and full of action. The same story from the game but adapted to the big screen. Don’t make the same mistake they did with Mortal Kombat, Street Fighter, Resident Evil, etc!

For your own good

I’d like to know the specific date the movie will be aired.
It’s a fan thing. I’m pretty much obsessed with the series and
I’m dying to take myself and my children to watch the movie when finally aired in the U.S. :]

The plot is very shallow and needs to be rewritten. western producers/directors must learn from past mistakes of game-turned-film movie flicks.spider people are not included in the onimusha storyline, but nobunaga, the genma and guildernstern’s creations..so they must concentrate with that and samanosuke’s as well.he’s never been in love with YUKI and there is no such character in the onimusha world as JACOB.we,gamers don’t wanna see another plot-twisted script i.e. silent hill LADY protagonist instead of HARRY MASON and ALICE’s unwanted appearance in the RE MOVIES. I am sure if you just listen to the gamers’ perspective in all your planned movie franchises nothing will go wrong with your plans and of course no gamer hate mails will be received..:)
