The recently announced Street Fighter film is reportedly about to secure its directing team in Danny and Michael Philippou, the indie horror darlings behind Talk to Me.
The Philippou brothers are in "final negotiations" to direct Legendary's Street Fighter movie, according to a report from Deadline. The duo has only previously directed Talk to Me, which has garnered very positive reviews after appearing at various film festivals ahead of a wide release later this year. "Sources say the duo was able to capitalize on the buzz and heat of their movie, which has a July 28 release date, and scored a lucrative low- to mid-seven-figure deal for Fighter," according to Deadline.
