The Mega Man Fan Movie Is Suitably Mega
I assume many of you were not regular readers of TR back in November of 2008 when I told you about Eddie Lebron’s desire to make a Mega Man movie, and the excellent trailer he posted for it. Well, 18 months later, it’s done. His movie. And it’s 90 minutes long.
I’m not going to lie; I haven’t watched it yet (again, 90 minutes long) but the trailer was awesome so I have high hopes, my friends. Overall, it’s not been a bad week for fan-made movies of popular Capcom videogames. Hell, Capcom should just stop fucking around with Hollywood and just start working directly with the fans. Thanks to Mikey W. for the tip.
