Good news: John Wick creator Derek Kolstad is working on yet another adaptation that, from what we’ve realized thus far, might be just as successful once it hits the massive screens.
Obviously, the upcoming adaptation may even come from the online game sphere. Immediately after the information broke that he would be writing and producing a Streets of Rage film, it emerged that Kolstad was taking on the same duties, together with a live-action film based on Sifu. So if you’re a fan of this title, you have real purpose to rejoice.
Kolstad and his partners at media company Story Kitchen have teamed up with developer and writer Sifu Sloclap, based on Deadline.
Beat-’em-up proved successful when it was released in February, and for a very simple reason: it bought a million copies in just three weeks, although Elden Ring and Horizon Forbidden West arrived at about the identical time available on the market.
Sifu might metamorphose into an excellent movie script
What makes Sifu stand out, with so much competition round him, is that every time the protagonist dies, in search of revenge, he ages, but his enemies remain the identical age.
It’s exactly this small premise that can make for an excellent movie, and on the basis of it a truly extraordinary script could be constructed.
Obviously, it remains to be seen how Sifu will metamorphose from recreation to film and, maybe most importantly, who will play the leads. To entice attention, the forged must be one which “says” something to the viewers.
Still, the upcoming Sifu film has the ingredients to become a future hit, but that’s only if the staff behind the production plays its cards proper and exploits the advantages it already has.
