![]() But it just seems like games are about the user experience and movies are a narrative, and so somehow those two things don’t seem to connect. There’s never been a good video game movie, so I’m really hoping someone makes that transition too. ![]() Do you see potential there for you to direct a video game movie? Believe me, I was like, “Oh my god, this is going to be amazing.”Ĭapcom did make a couple Street Fighter movies. When the new version gets announced, I just throw my wallet at the computer screen.Īnd Capcom just announced Street Fighter V. I’m the guy who buys every version all the time. Were you one of those gamers who got suckered into buying every new version of the same game like Super Street Fighter II Turbo Edition? I implied all this moral virtue to the honorable Street Fighter. Street Fighter was one of those things where for me the idea was it’s not about fighting, it’s about what you’re fighting for. How did the Street Fighter video game franchise influence you as a director? It’s a whole new world out there, so I’m hoping we get to do something really cool. I definitely think gaming is changing with social media and cell phones. I’m hoping with the success of The Book of Life I can entice gaming people to take that leap into video games because this thing is perfect for that. What opportunities are digital and mobile games opening up for Hollywood? I had always imagined the first movie to be about Manolo, the second to be about Joaquín and the third one to be about Maria. I’m already working on my new film, which is a Mexican kung fu movie, so you’re definitely going to see a lot more video game influences in that. We still don’t know if we’re going to get to make a part 2 or a part 3, because I always envisioned them as a trilogy. There was God of War stuff and fantasy adventure type gameplay as well, but unfortunately it never happened. So I was really excited about a Book of Life game where you could play Guitar Hero-stuff for the music and you could do the fighting stuff. I created new villains for it, so I was all over that. When we did the El Tigre video game I got to write the story and I helped design it. The way the gaming industry is right now it was just too big of a risk financially to make a game without the studio knowing how well the movie would do. I would have loved to have been able to made one. What would The Book of Life video game be if you were able to make it?
