FILMS THAT SHOULD BE MADE: Cadillacs And Dinosaurs

What started out as a basic beat-em-up video game from Capcom based on a comic book series, spawning a Saturday morning cartoon on CBS and a toyline in the 90's. Cadillacs and Dinosaurs featured a futuristic world where dinosaurs have been repopulated and Earth has reverted to a prehistorical state. It was sort of hybrid of Jurassic Park, King Kong, Mad Max and Indiana Jones.

A majority of video game/toyline films don't have such a weird blend of these type of adventure genres which were originally pulled from films to begin with. It seems like a prime candidate to get a film in the future. If anything, it's more interesting than a most of the films in development currently.

Considering the slew of alien-focused genre films being grind out by studios it would be nice see dinosaurs make their glorious return to the big screen. I could see this as some massive summer blockbuster 3D spectacle, even though I'm not fully sold on 3D's overall effectiveness for entertainment. It would also bring in the science fiction aspect since it involved aliens too.




MY CASTING THOUGHTS:

-Jon Hamm As Jack Tenrec

-Scarlett Johansson as Hannah Dundee

Screen Gems Buys Rights To Devil May Cry

Sony Screen Gems has a few successful franchises in their pockets one being Underworld. An original concept that has spawned four films. The fourth currently in development and about to go into production. Their other big money maker is Resident Evil based on the popular Capcom video game series. That one is about to go into it's fifth installment. Now Collider reports that Screen Gems has bought the rights to another Capcom game Devil May Cry in the hopes to make a movie.

The games center around Dante, a man who slaughters demons to avenge his mother’s death. Kyle Ward has been hired to write the script and has previously wrote for the adaptation of Kane & Lynch. There seems to be a market out there for R-rated horror based action films and I'm all for that. Let's just hope that Paul W.S. Anderson isn't brought in to produce or direct as he's best suited for Resident Evil.
