Streets of Rage: the series soon to be brought to the cinema? The creator of John Wick would be on the spot

No doubt intoxicated by the figures obtained by Sonic at the box office when the adventure was badly embarked, SEGA intends to bring another of its flagship series to the cinema. This is indeed what our colleagues from Deadline, who therefore believe that Streets of Rage will be the next license of the house to be the subject of a film adaptation. Of course, the details remain quite thin for the moment, but according to rumors, Derek Kolstad – who is none other than the creator of John Wick – would be in on it. He would even have already developed a spec script without the firm of Haneda having solicited it; proof of the good man’s desire to bring this project to life. And since you don’t change a winning team, dj2 Entertainment – ​​who worked on the two Sonics released in the cinema – should be in production if the project really took shape.

We can say that Derek Kolstad is not idle at the moment since he is also at work on the film Just Watch Me, a heist movie starring actor Gerard Butler. And we have to believe that the men behind John Wick are popular, because director Chad Stahelski was asked by Sony and PlayStation Productions to work on the film Ghost of Tsushima. Coming back to Streets of Rage, let’s remember that after having broken everything in the 90s, the series made its big comeback in 2020 with Streets of Rage 4.
