Interestingly, there was a snippet in the latest Total Film magazine (UK) that said apparently two classic 16-bit games are currently being proposed for movie versions, namely Altered Beast and Streets of Rage!

Will be interesting to see if anything comes out of it..

Excuse me?!? What??

Annoying, Total Film's website has now been crunched into 'Gamesradar' (and therefore contains sweet FA), so I can't link. The news is just in the printed mag.

I did look up on IMDB though and both films are there, with a 2016 date but no other details.

To be fair Streets of Rage could be like any martial arts film made in the 80's/90's, but I'm intrigued about what Altered Beast might contain (possibly an extremely ineffectual bear)?!

Seriously. A well done Streets of Rage would be awesome, but Altered Beast was just crazy. Never beat it, but it is one of the few games that has stuck with me
