Currrent facts known so far: (inasmuch as what I can find out-not much)
It's set for production this year by Gaga Communications, which I heard is a Hong Kong based company (don't quote me on that though, as I heard they are a Japanese company).
There's no info yet on the cast, but it would appear it's not going to be a CGI like Advent Children *sulk*
Either way, it seems they are keeping a very tight lid on information at the moment.
I'll post more as I find it out. (Woo, I feel like a reporter XD)

Hrm. Thanks for looking, Rikku. That really sucks that it's gonna be a real life production though. I'll probably end up hating the cast... bah.

You never know, it might be a completely unknown cast and turn out to be really good. I'm probably being delusional in hoping this, but the thought of my fave game and characters getting mangled upsets me too much XD

*nods* i totally agree with you on that one, well we can dream can't we? if it is a known cast, who do you think would be best for the roles? *grin* me and Arow never sorted this one out.

There's a hell of a lot of speculation and ideas for that, and I don't agree with any of them.
If Tom Cruise was younger and taller, he possibly could have done it once, as he is a very good actor and I think he was good looking enough to pull it off, but playing an older version (DMC2) Dante.
Other than that, I'v come to the conclusion that no one can play Dante and if Trish was in it, they'd probably get someone really wet to play her, like so many English characters have been buggered up and made sappy and wet by being played by Gwenyth Paltrow (someone should shoot that woman).
Nope, I have no idea. Some people have suggested Takeshi Kaneshiro, but the problem with that is, is that when you see him, you'd just instantly think Onimusha.

Personally I don't think he should be Japanese... or Asian for that matter. After all, he's not Asian. He's American. Not that that makes him cool, but it says that's what he is. Maybe that's only in our booklets...? *Shrugs* Whatever. I couldn't care less; I just love him. The point is I think it wouldn't suit him to be foreign. I agree somewhat with Tom Cruise... and other than him when he was younger, I can't think of anyone. For Trish? I would think Angelina Jolie has the body and she's a pretty good actress. I'm not sure if her look is close enough though, but what can you expect? She'd just have to die her hair blonde. It would be pretty interesting if nothing else.
But personally, I wish it'd just be a GC animation... *Sigh* Oh well. Hell, even the movie itself could only be a rumor. I've heard of others too. Like DBZ. . . lol.

I don't like Angelina Jolie that much, but I agree that it should be a western actor on account of the game settings. I think people like the idea of a Japanese actor on account of the game being made by a Japanese company. I think they forget that Dante's supposed to be American.
Apparently the film is not just rumour anymore, Capcom have given the go-ahead, along with rights to Onimusha. Now that's a film they should get Takeshi Kaneshiro to do, and Jean Reno too. That could be pretty cool.
