Devil May Cry is to become a movie franchise after Screen Gems bought the rights to the Capcom series, Variety reports.

The American subsidiary company of Sony Pictures Entertainment has already had success with Capcom's Resident Evil, grossing more than $580 million worldwide.

Kyle War is to write the script, which is said to revolve around central character Dante, who aims to avenge his mother's murder by killing demons. Ward penned the script for the Kane & Lynch movie.

The next game in the Devil May Cry series is currently in development at Enslaved creators Ninja Theory, and is a reboot of the franchise.

Oh, so THAT'S what they're doing with DMC now. Making the protagonist an emo kid to appeal to 14 year olds who are just discovering Disturbed and calling it retro because they don't like BMTH.

Dante- "WHY WONT TRISH LOVE ME!!!"

Some character made up for film-"Dude, she looks like your mother........and she's a demon"

Dante - "I KNOW!!!!"

*high five while "Get down with the Sickness" plays*

It's guaranteed the movie Dante will complain about his emotions instead of surfing on demons while eating pizza and using a pool table as a weapon.

I think you're all aiming too old - it'll be aimed at the Twilight audience like everything coming up appears to be! Especially as the studio will just see a Gothic style and think that it's all teenage kids that play videogames!

I'm taking bets on Ben Affleck or Mark Walberg.

In a survey I took recently, they asked me my opinions on a new God of War movie, and seemed quite genuine.
So look out for that.
