Game-adapted films have been normal these days. As reported by Deadline, the award-winning Kong-Fu game SIFU is now going to be adapted into a live-action movie by Story Kitchen Studio.
(L-R) Derek Kolstad, Dmitri Johnson and Mike Goldberg
The new media company Story Kitchen was co-founded by Derek Kolstad (writer-creator of John Wick), Dmitri M. Johnson (Sonic the Hedgehog producer), and Mike Goldberg (APA partner). According to the three founders, Story Kitchen will be "a media company that will be hyperfocused on the creation and amplification of world-building action and non-traditional intellectual property".
After having spent the last several years working together and admiring one another’s storytelling chops, energy, taste and ideas, we collectively came to the same conclusion: that the only way to double down on cooking up the most amazing franchises and worlds possible was for us to unite as one.
----Kolstad, Johnson and Goldberg in statement
SIFU by Sloclap tells a story of revenge set in modern-day China. Players control the child of a martial arts school's sifu who seeks revenge on those responsible for their father's death.
