This is news that should please all fans of the game and explosive action movies. SIFU will be entitled to a cinematic adaptation overseen by one of the big names in the field.
The message comes from meeting, generally very well informed, who tells us that the excellent SIFU will soon have the rights to its adaptation for cinema and can count on the pen of Derek Kolstad. If this name doesn’t mean anything to you at first glance, know that he is neither more nor less one of the creators of John Wick
SIFU from the creator of John Wick
According to initial information from Deadline SIFU is meant to be extra faithful to the sloclap game and even take over the main lines. So it will be about revenge, redemption, clubs of spades from villains and the central character of the story should also age as visible in the game.
The film is also described there as a mixture of John Wick
It’s quite amusing to see that SIFU, which is heavily inspired by classic or recent cinematic action movies like e.g old boy or John Wickexactly, will also have the right to his own film.
However, the project is still in its infancy. The cast has not yet been finalized and the first lines of the script are not expected to be written until Derek Kolstad has completed post-production John Wick 4 to be released in March 2023.
