Tiger in the back seat or I’m out
As reported by Deadline, Koch Media isworking with some movie industry heavy-hitters to get a film adaptation of their chaotic crimeathonSaints Rowup and running. The film hopes to take the carnage of Stilwater and Steelport out of the digital world and onto the big screen.
Details are extremely sparse in these pre-production days, but the project already has a big time helmer in the form of Director F. Gary Gray, who has in recent years shotStraight Outta Compton, The Fate of The Furiousand the upcomingMen in Black: International. TheSaints Rowflick will be written by Greg Russo, who is also currently rebooting aMortal Kombatmovie for Warner Bros.
One thing yet to be noted is the tone of the piece, so we don’t know whether this film will be more in keeping with the hardcore crime, murder and slaughter of the earlySaints Rowgames, or the brainwashing octopus guns and Japanese game shows of the franchise’ back end. I know which mood I’m gunning for, how about you?
