It's a fact that Street Fighter, the famous franchise of Capcom, will be adapted into a movie thanks to the effort of Legendary. If it's a production that calls your attention, you should know that its pre-production keeps advancing and that even it already chose their directors, although there are still things to negotiate.
According to information from The Hollywood Reporter, Legendary Pictures is negotiating with Danny and Michael Philippou so they take charge of directing the Street Fighter movie. They are a couple of filmmaker brothers who recently became a sensation in the world of cinema thanks to Talk to Me, a horror movie that broke out at the Sundance Film Festival.
It's important to note that, until now, the agreement has not been closed, so we cannot consider the Philippou brothers as the directors of the Street Fighter movie. We'll keep an eye on it and inform you when we know more about it.
In fact, there are not many details about the Street Fighter movie yet. So far, Legendary has not revealed what style of movie they will make or which characters will be involved. Therefore, the Street Fighter film is a true mystery and the only thing we know is that Capcom is involved with the adaptation.
Who are the Philippou brothers?
In case you don't know them, we tell you that Danny and Michael Philippou are Australian brothers who rose to fame thanks to YouTube. These creatives managed the RackaRacka channel, which gained a lot of popularity thanks to their comedy and horror videos.
Although Philippou's talent was already known by many, his recognition in Hollywood actually came after the premiere of Talk to Me, his first feature film. That film debuted last year and was acclaimed by specialized critics.
