CAPCOM announced on Thursday that Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman (Catfish, Paranormal Activity 3 and 4) are writing and directing the previously announced film project of its Mega Man game franchise, with Masi Oka (Heroes) producing the project.
The Mega Man franchise (known as Rock Man in Japan) began in 1987 with CAPCOM’s release of the first Mega Man game on the Nintendo Famicom.
The franchise has since spawned numerous games, with the latest in the main series, Mega Man 11, released in North America on Tuesday, October 2.
