After news in March that the Onimusha film had been put on indefinite hold, I pretty much gave up hope of seeing the film, but it seems its been given a second chance after all. According to Capcom's US blog, an ad celebrating Capcom's 25th anniversary had some interesting tidbits at the bottom -- a release date of 2009 for the Clock Tower film and 2011 for Onimusha. Christophe Gans seems to still be in charge of the Onimusha adaption, while Martin Weisz remains in charge of Clock Tower. I'm as sketch as ever about games being made into big Hollywood productions, but these are two I would at least give a chance. Not to mention, Gans is the only one who I felt was able to communicate what the game experience was like in his Silent Hill adaption. Check out the ad this news was spotted on in our gallery, which is in Japanese but exciting nonetheless. [Via CVG -- Thanks, Jonathan]

Clocktower?..HELL YES.
I don't think either of the movies really has the quality of story necessary to make a successful big-screen adaptation. Don't get me wrong, Clock Tower for the SNES was great for it's time, but neither of these will win any awards. And looking at the relative number of fans for each title, who will really go to see them when they're released?
I think Onimusha would fit well only cause Takashiro already does the sci fi hack n slash movies in Japan. So being the lead in Oni 1 and 3 only helps this movie look more believeable.
I would definately love to see a Clock Tower movie though. The premise of the game is nice...though I dunno jack crap about it outside of the bit I played of CT3.
I don't have good feelings about either of these movies.
Hellz yes! :D
Clocktower could work as a movie, but I got a feeling it'd be a shitty teen slasher, or worse, a Hostel style torture porn piece of shit.
Clocktower looks interesting, Onimusha... don't really know a lot about the games.
the Clock Tower movie is gonna suck because of the director
