NEWS: 24 May 2007 2:03 GMT by Chris Ford

News has hit the streets of a film version of Capcom’s hit series, Onimusha with Christophe Gans as director.

Gans was responsible for both Silent Hill and Brotherhood of the Wolf, as will be overseeing a $70 million budget if all reports are true.

The screenplay is being written by the team that wrote Master and Commander, Leslie Kruger and John Collee, and filming is due to start in China next February to screen December 2009.

"I have loved the Onimusha story for years and am overjoyed to have the opportunity now to bring it to life for worldwide film audiences and to access the unparalleled film resources of China to do so on the scale that the story demands," Gans reported in ScreenDaily.

Producer Hadida added, "There is nothing else in the marketplace like Onimusha. It combines swashbuckling adventure, passion, and heroic destiny on an epic scale. ... I have worked with Christophe on three successful productions and am confident that he brings the ideal vision to realize this incredible story."
