This just in-
sounds like the next live-action adaptation of classic arcade video game “Street Fighter” just got Hadoken’ed. The film, which was first announced in April of 2023, was going to have Danny and Michael Philippou (“Talk To Me“) directing. But, as of today, that isn’t the case.
The pair have exited the project to pursue a film with A24, “Take Her Back.” Sources say the departure was due to scheduling conflicts.
No replacement director has been named yet, but the project is still on the slate. For now.
We’ll let you know what we hear about this and other news.

Mary Anne Butler
Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief. Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
