The film rights to Namco's fighter video game SOUL CALIBUR have been picked up by Anthem Pictures, Warren Zide's production company. Together with Craig Perry, Zide was one of the producing pair behind the AMERICAN PIE films. Anthem has a deal with Sony Pictures, meaning the movie will get made and distributed there.

The SOUL CALIBUR video games rely more on combat than storytelling to deliver entertainment, but what tale there is about duelling monks will be fleshed out in the picture. SOUL CALIBUR 2 came out last year and instantly became a bestseller, as well as winning many game industry awards.
