F. Gary Gray Is Set to Direct a Film Adaptation of the Hit Video Game SAINTS ROW
F. Gary Gray (Men in Black International, The Fate of the Furious, Straight Outta Compton) is set to direct a film that will be based on the hit action video game Saints Row. It is also being reported that Greg Russo, who’s writing the Mortal Kombat reboot at Warner Bros, is writing the script for the film.
Saints Row was created by Deep Silver Volition, and over the years there have been four installments of the game, and they have made a shit-ton of money. So, it makes sense that Hollywood would want to bring it to the big screen to cash in on it!
The film will tells the story of “the rise of the Third Street Saints as they battle rival gangs in an attempt to conquer the fictional cities of Stilwater and Steelport.”
The project is currently set up at and being produced by Gray’s Fenix Studios. This seems like it will be an exciting and fun film project for Gray to jump on board. I think he could actually deliver a decent Saints Row movie.
