CAPTAIN AMERICA: CIVIL WAR Directors Joe & Anthony Russo To Head-Up TV Adaptation Of Cult Classic THE WARRIORS
Can you dig it? Before they get to work on Avengers: Infinity War, The Russos will team with Paramount and Hulu for a small-screen take on Walter Hill's iconic 1979 gang movie, The Warriors...
The Warriors will come out to play again for an hour-long drama from Paramount and Hulu, which will be overseen by Marvel's elite directing duo, Joe and Anthony Russo. According to Deadline this new take will honour the original, while adding "its own unique brand of grit, pulp, sex and violence." No director is attached yet, but Frank Baldwin (The Racketeer, The Run) is on board as writer.
The Warriors started out as a novel by Richard Price, before being adapted by Walter Hill in 1979. There have also been several comic book spin-offs from Dynamite, and a 2005 video game from Rockstar Toronto.
