Reports are that Screen Gems has purchased the film rights to Devil May Cry. Kyle Ward (Fiasco Heights, Kane & Lynch) will pen the script for the movie.
Screen Gems has taken the Resident Evil franchise and made it into more than a modest success, grossing over $580 million globally across four films. Capcom is hoping to expand the franchise, having already released an animated series and comic books along with a planned reboot DmC from Ninja Theory, and they’re clearly hoping for success similar to the Resident Evil films.
