In an interview with MTV Multiplayer, the cinematic director who worked on Resident Evil 5 has revealed that he is in talks with Capcom about directing a live-action movie based on one of the company’s franchises.

Jim Sonzero, who’s previous work includes television commercials and music videos, declined to give any other details about the movie, other than the fact that it would be directed by him. He says that his work on RE5 – the first he has done with a game – has also inspired a decision to expand on his work with the medium.

“I am involved in motion-capture projects that are bringing this technology to advertisers,” he said. “But I am definitely very interested in taking cinematics to a whole new level and keep moving in this direction.”

With movie’s based on Capcom games being amongst the most laughable of their kind, it remains an intriguing prospect that we may one day be graced with a decent Resi film or a Street Fighter production that doesn’t… actually, please leave Street Fighter alone now. Anyway, it would be nice to think that one day Capcom’s great work will get the treatment it deserves.
