Sega hasn't made a good Shinobi game in decades but hey Shogun is popular, so we're getting a Shinobi movie

Following the success of Sonic the Hedgehog, and no doubt with an eye on the huge popularity of FX's Shogun series, Deadline has reported that a Shinobi movie is in the works. The series began in 1987 with a side-scrolling arcade game and would find big success with sequels on the Mega Drive / Genesis, but barring a couple of (fairly good) PlayStation 2 entries in the early 2000s, and a forgettable 3DS game in 2011, Shinobi has not been a part of the gaming landscape for some time.

That is going to change...
