Adi Shankar, producer of several Netflix game adaptations, wanted to try and revive the fan-favorite Dino Crisis series for Netflix.
Next spring, Netflix is releasing an anime based on Capcom’s famous Devil May Cry series. The show is headed up by Adi Shankar, who also helped get Castlevania and Captain Laserhawk off the ground—and according to him, he initially had his eyes set on adapting a different Capcom IP for the streamer.
On Twitter, Shankar recently revealed that he’d initially approached Capcom in 2017 about the possibility of making a Dino Crisis series. Instead, the studio countered with Devil May Cry, which he “didn’t even think would be on the table,” and the rest is history. If you haven’t played Dino Crisis, players take on the role of special operatives who fight dinosaurs who’ve been brought to the present thanks to time travel shenanigans. The series was pretty short-lived, with just three main games a light gun spinoff to its name, but it’s got a passionate fanbase.
