Looks like 2K Games aren't the only ones investing in the movie industry: Capcom has announced it'll be putting its weight behind a Lost Planet film.

Announced at an E3 press conference, the film will be penned by David Hayter, known to some as the voice of Solid Snake in the Metal Gear Solid series. Hayter has also worked as a writer on the first two X-Men films, The Scorpion King, Lost in Oz, and is currently in pre-production for the film Watchmen.

No release date has been set as of now.

Capcom president and chief operating officer Kenzo Tsujimoto also said the company intends to create many more game-to-film franchises in the future. Capcom, of course, is known for starting the trend with series' films like Street Fighter and Resident Evil..but hopefully this one turns out to be of higher caliber.

Lost Planet has sold over two million units worldwide.
