Legendary to Develop Project Based on Mighty No. 9 Video Game

BURBANK: Legendary Digital Media, Contradiction Films and video game developer comcept are developing a live-action feature-length project for digital platforms inspired by the video game Mighty No. 9.

Mighty No. 9 is the second video game created by Keiji Inafune that Legendary Digital and Contradiction will adapt into a feature-length project, as Legendary Digital Media previously distributed Dead Rising: Watchtower, which Contradiction produced.

“Legendary Digital and Contradiction have carved out a unique niche for ourselves, developing video game IP into successful feature-length and series content for digital platforms the world over,” said Greg Siegel, Legendary Digital Media’s senior VP of development and production. “We are honored to have another opportunity to translate Inafune’s immersive worlds, engaging characters and action-packed gameplay into a live-action project for video game fans and fans of streaming video alike.”

Tomas Harlan, partner at Contradiction, said, “We are thrilled to be working with the great Inafune-san on Mighty No. 9 and feel so fortunate that the Legendary Digital team shares a common vision for the live-action adaptation of this very special video game.”

"The announcement that Legendary Digital is collaborating with Contradiction and comcept on creating a live action project based on Mighty No. 9 is really amazing, not only for myself and the rest of the team at comcept who worked on the game, but also for all the fans who have supported the project,” said Inafune, the CEO of comcept. "This collaboration will give our creation the ability to reach people all over the world. Thanks to all of your support, we have fulfilled another one of our dreams.”
