Legendary Digital Media, Contradiction Films, and video game developer comcept Inc. are to develop a live action feature-length project for digital platforms based on Mighty No.9.

This is the second video game from Keiji Inafune that Legendary Digital and Contradiction will adapt into a feature-length project. The first was Dead Rising: Watchtower, which proved so successful that a sequel was ordered.

“We are thrilled to be working with the great Inafune-san on Mighty No.9 and feel so fortunate that the Legendary Digital team shares a common vision for the live action adaptation of this very special video game,” said Tomas Harlan, partner at Contradiction.

“The announcement that Legendary Digital is collaborating with Contradiction and comcept on creating a live action project based on Mighty No.9 is really amazing, not only for myself and the rest of the team at comcept who worked on the game, but also for all the fans who have supported the project,” said Inafune. “This collaboration will give our creation the ability to reach people all over the world. Thanks to all of your support, we have fulfilled another one of our dreams.”

Mighty No.9, published by Deep Silver, will launch September 18.
