John Woo may not have space on his calendar right now between the U.S. release of "Red Cliff" and his next project "The Flying Tigers," but he still speaks fondly of his video game experience with "Stranglehold." Asked if he would be returning to games anytime soon, the Chinese-born director sounded hopeful, even if a "Stranglehold 2" doesn't happen in the near future.
"No. I don't have that much time, even though I want to make one again," Woo told Cinematical. The game, which reunited Woo with actor Chow Yun Fat in the role of Inspector "Tequila" Yuen from "Hard-Boiled," has been named as a possible upcoming movie project for the director, and he verified that a "Stranglehold" film is still on his to-do list.
"We are going to make that into a movie," Woo said.
Though the director recently told MTV he would not be adapting the comic book "Caliber" or have an immediate interest in superheroes, he does seem to be considerably more open-minded to video games, given his response. Whether he would make a "Stranglehold" follow-up or something else, though, will remain to be seen.
Would you like to see new "Stranglehold" title? Or should Woo look at making something new entirely? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.
