Oh look, another wildly popular and successful videogame brand is about to be horribly ruined by Hollywood!
Anthem Pictures (a Sony Pictures unit) and producer Warren Zide have acquired the rights to create a feature film based on Namco's Soul Calibur game franchise. Zide will be producing the film along with Craig Perry, reuniting the team that brought the American Pie and Final Destination movies to theaters.
Soul Calibur, of course, is the crown jewel of 3D weapon-based fighting games, and its sequel, Soul Calibur II, is currently available on the GameCube.
