The Australian twin filmmaker duo behind Sundance horror sensation
Talk to Me are in final negotiations to direct Street Fighter, Legendary’s feature adaptation of the classic video game from Capcom.
The Philippou bothers ran a very popular YouTube channel, RackaRacka, making horror and comedy content. It was their feature debut,
Talk to Me, that
received Hollywood attention. The movie, which tells the story of a young woman who conjures a spirit via an embalmed hand, premiered at this year’s Sundance Film Festival. The screening touched off a bidding war, with A24 paying a seven-figure sum for the rights.
