Catfish directors Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman are now in negotiations to write and direct a feature film adaptation of the Mega Man video games.
Heroes actor Masi Oka is also on board as a producer but beyond that not much is known about the project.
The Mega Man games follow the line of a character called Dr. Light who builds a bunch of robots who are then taken by his evil colleague Dr. Wily to turn them, erm, evil.
In response, Dr. Light builds a heroic robot boy named Mega Man who proceeds to deal with the aformentioned evil critters… and that’s it.
More as we get it.

Marc is a self-confessed nerd. Ever since seeing Star Wars for the first time around 1979 he’s been an unapologetic fan of the Wars and still believes, with Clone Wars and now Underworld, we are yet to see the best Star Wars.
He’s a dad of two who now doesn’t have the time (or money) to collect the amount of toys, comics, movies and books he once did, much to the relief of his long-suffering wife. In the real world he’s a graphic designer.
He started Following the Nerd because he was tired of searching a million sites every day for all the best news that he loves and decided to create one place where you can go to get the whole lot.
Secretly he longs to be sitting in the cockpit of his YT-1300 Corellian Transport ship with his co-pilot Chewie, roaming the universe, waiting for his next big adventure, but feels just at home watching cartoons with his kids….
