Modern day The Warriors. This concept makes me think of alot of 1980s movies like a dystopian cityscape filled with crime to fight. Should be interesting to see how it develops.
That;s cool I've been saying I want a Streets of Rage movie for years, maybe they can do it right.
Definitely down to see how this develops!
