Sega’s beat ’em up side-scrolling video game Streets of Rage is getting a movie adaptation, Deadline reports, with Derek Kolstad (John Wick, Nobody) writing the script!
Developed and published by Sega, the original Streets of Rage game was released in 1991 for the Sega Genesis. The most recent sequel, Streets of Rage 4 came along in 2020.
The video games center “on the efforts of several ex-police vigilantes trying to rid a fictional, large American city from a crime syndicate that has corrupted its local government.”
The Streets of Rage movie will be produced by dj2 Entertainment and Escape Artists. Here’s hoping this one gets as violent and action-packed as the John Wick movies!
The first three Streets of Rage games were released between 1991 and 1994, and the franchise has also expanded to include comics and even a Streets of Rage 2 novella in 1993.
