John Wick's creator is writing a movie based on 'Sifu'<p>
John Wick creator Derek Kolstad is working on yet another videogame adaptation. Fresh off
the news that he's writing and producing a Streets of Rage film, it emerged that Kolstad is taking on the same duties for a live-action movie based on
Sifu.</p><p>Kolstad and his partners at media company Story Kitchen have teamed up with
Sifu developer and publisher Sloclap, as
Deadline reports. The beat-'em-up proved a hit when it was released in February, as it sold
a million copies in three weeks — despite
Elden Ring and
Horizon Forbidden West arriving at around the same time. What makes Sifu stand out from the pact is that every time the protagonist dies in their quest for vengeance, they get older but their enemies stay the same age.</p><span id="end-legacy-contents"></span><p>That hook alone gives a screenwriter a lot of intriguing possibilities. The one vs. many aspect of
Sifu seems right up Kolstad's alley as well, given his experience with the John Wick franchise and
Nobody. As if all that wasn't enough, Kolstad is also behind
Netflix's Splinter Cell, an upcoming animated series based on Ubisoft's games.</p>
