After the plethera of Stranglehold news (the announcement of the game and the additional Hard-Boiled Blu-Ray disc), there are now rumors that Stranglehold movie could be in the works. And really, who would have reall mind seeing a little more Chow Yun Fat on the big screen (especially if they were nice enough to pass along a little bit part to Takeshi Kaneshiro, sigh)? According to Terrence Chang, Woo's production partner, once the game has been released, there may be potential for a movie based on the game:
We would definitely bring 'Stranglehold' to the big screen. We want to be very selective about producing games. We would like game titles to have all kinds of possibility. Having a movie made from them is certainly a major consideration for deciding on a title.
Woo has already started work on another video game/movie combination called "Ninja Gold", but neither the script for that movie or the timetable/publisher for the game has been announced.
At the rate Woo is going, there will probably be rumors that next week you will be able to Stranglehold DVDs at Best Buy, Ninja Gold will be number one at the box office, and people will be able to fly to work in their briefcase saucers. He works that fast.
