Sega's classic hack-and-slash video game series Shinobi is being turned into a movie, and the director behind Extraction and Extraction 2 is making it.
Sega announced in a press release that it's teaming up with Universal Studios to make the Shinobi movie, 37 years after the first game in the series released on arcades on the Sega System 16 board in 1987. The adaptation is being directed by Sam Hargrave, who's best known for helming the 2020 action thriller Extraction as well as its 2023 sequel, both starring Chris Hemsworth. Hargrave is also directing a third film in the Extraction series that was announced at last year's Netflix Tudum festival, with Hemsworth returning to lead the cast.
