Derek Connolly, the screenwriter known for his work on the Jurassic World trilogy, is set to adapt Sega’s 1993 fighting game Eternal Champions into a live-action film. This project is being developed by Skydance, with Toru Nakahara, who has overseen the Sonic movies, acting as one of the producers.

I'm weirdly down for this.

I know they'll butcher the 16-bit original plot - whatever the hell that was, anyway.

But I confess I didn't care back then and I'm willing to continue, briefly, not caring now, if this can land somewhere on the stupid-pretty-and-fun spectrum.

Is this how normal people enjoy a Transformers film without being angry that Optimus is saying stupid shit that 80s Optimus wouldn't have needed to say? Huh. Feels nice.

Good news! There was barely a plot at all, that I remember. Everyone is trying to win the tournament in order to save the world? Something like that. I just know I always picked Xavier because 10 year old me thought he looked the most bad ass.
