lighter behind John Wick is developing a kung fu revenge project based on the video game Sifu with a smart twist.
A popular martial arts fighting game has been announced. Shio, adapted to the large screen. This indie her title has gained a lot of fans since its release, selling over one million copies of her in its first three weeks. The plot itself is nothing innovative and runs like this: “Set in modern China, this revenge tale follows a student of a martial arts school master (Sifu) as he seeks revenge for his master’s murder.”
However, what makes the game stand out is the clever mechanics that age the protagonist after each defeat. As he ages, he becomes more experienced and powerful as a martial arts practitioner, but also more and more frail. Unless you can, you will die forever.
As a game mechanic, the setting allows for thoughtful and tactical martial arts play, but it’s easy to see how the concept oozes latent pathos and narrative potential in the right hands.As it stands, Derek Kolstad, author of his first three books John Wick movie and nobody, is writing the film and it seems like a good fit for us.
Kolstad is no stranger to video game adaptations and has directed many of Netflix’s upcoming productions. splinter cell Since it’s a project, I’m wondering if he has plans to write it, as well as directing it.
Little is known about the project at this time, but we’ll keep you posted as more information becomes available.
