Dead or Alive movie

I'm sorry to all you DOA fans out there, but the idea of a movie based on the DOA series is just preposterous. The games have less plot than Resident Evil (which I think will stink), and the characters are flatter than Lara Croft (which I thought was really bad). My prediction is that unless they drastically change things around so that the movie isn't too faithful to the games, this movie is going to flop badly.

Anyways,

Tecmo has announced that it has reached an agreement with Mindfire Entertainment to produce a movie based on the Dead or Alive series of fighting games. Dead or Alive will join a number of other video game franchises that have been made into movies lately, including Tomb Raider, Final Fantasy, and Resident Evil.

"To us, Dead or Alive is the perfect motion picture franchise," said Mark A. Altman, COO of Mindfire Entertainment. "DOA has set the standard for fighting games on every next-generation gaming console and has a loyal fan base throughout the world that is eagerly anticipating the release of a feature film based on this extraordinary video game series."

Production on the movie will begin later this year. It is scheduled for release in 2003.
