PROJECT POWER Trailer: Jamie Foxx, Joseph Gordon-Levitt And Dominique Fishback Battle A Super-Powered Drug Epidemic
The Batman screenwriter Mattson Tomlin’s latest work-up in the sci-fi/superhero purview will soon get an audience this month with the upcoming movie, Project Power. That it comes from Nerve directing duo Henry Joost and Ariel Schulmann – currently behind efforts to adapt MegaMan for the big screen, speaks aptly to the mind of visually stimulating, elevated allure that’s on target for a film of this kind, which puts actors Jamie Foxx, Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Dominique Fishback in great company.
Capcom Locks And Loads Live-Action MEGA MAN For Fox
Capcom Co., Ltd. officially gave the go-ahead on Thursday with the announcement of a live-action Mega Man adaptation from 20th Century Fox.

Fox’s MEGA MAN Lands Directors For The Live-Action Adaptation
Two years after landing the rights at Twentieth Century Fox, the studio now has Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman (Catfish, Paranormal Activity 3 & 4, Nerve) in its corner for a live action adaptation of Mega Man. The two are reportedly in final negotiations to write and direct the film currently in development at Chernin Entertainment with Heroes actor Oka Masi producing.
Launching in 1987 from Capcom with Rock Manas its Japanese title, the 8-bit Nintendo franchise focused on the story of Dr. Light, whose work ends up stolen by Dr. Wily and is converted into a squad of evil battle droids with specific skills, with the goal of world domination. In response, Light upgrades his lab assistant, Rock, arming him with a canon and battle armor and software to help absorb the powers of Wily’s droids upon their defeat.
Production details and cast and crew info remain pending. Stay tuned! (THR)
