The potential for video games to surpass film as a medium for storytelling is still a long ways from being assured, but it seems that the two are beginning to come together in many ways. John Woo’s iconic action film Hard Boiled was given a sequel years later called Stranglehold. The game’s success has prompted more action from the man himself.

Currently two writers are penning an adaptation of John Woo Presents: Stranglehold. John Woo’s production company Lion Rock Entertainment are on board for the sequel that reunites fans with inspector Tequila, played by the eternally badass Chow Yun-fat. The two writers on board are both American and with the general success of shooters in the American it could be that the sequel is going to be in English.
