The film adaptation of Sega‘s iconic “Streets of Rage” video game is alive and well at Lionsgate and has found its new writers: Paramount Pictures’ “Sonic the Hedgehog” film franchise masterminds, Pat Casey and Josh Miller.
In addition to the “Sonic” duo, “The Harder They Fall” filmmaker Jeymes Samuel has joined the project to direct.
Smart move bringing the Sonic duo into the mix, as they’ve delivered — thus far — three seemingly impossible, quite watchable movies.
Now, if this movie is to happens, for me, there are two non-negoitables.
- A soundtrack by Yuzo Koshiro. Seriously one of the greatest video game soundtracks of all time.
- Roo or we RIOT.
