A script for the film adaptation has been written by Derek Kolstad, creator and lead writer for the hugely-lucrative John Wick franchise. Sega is reportedly keen to replicate the film success of its Sonic the Hedgehog series, and has tapped the same production company, dj2 Entertainment, to now work on Streets of Rage too. Streets of Rage originally launched for the Sega Mega Drive and spawned a trilogy of sequels. Its most entry, Streets of Rage 4, arrived in 2020 to positive reviews. There’s no word on when we might see Streets of Rage go before cameras - or indeed, land in a cinema near you. Sonic, meanwhile, will follow his recent second movie with a third entry and a Knuckles TV spin-off.
