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.

Too much to hope for a James Remar cameo? Let us know what you think about this in the usual place.

I remember playing the video game, which added more back story to the film (and made the film more enjoyable for me).

@Menks123 - No shit? That's awesome. I got my ass kicked every time on that game - now though, now I can reach the top of the hill.

It's good to have goals...

@McGee - Ahhhh I misread it, they just re-released it on Ps4 with new stuff but not a graphic upgrade. Still really cool and maybe they have the idea down the road to completely re do it. My bad for the mix up D:

Interestingly enough I just watched the '79 Warriors the other day. Very dated movie, I mean a gang with baseball team theme? really? But it was and will always be a fun watch for me.
