Movie director John Woo is making big moves into the world of gaming these days; in addition to his recently announced partnership with Clive Barker to produce Demonik, he has now announced Stranglehold, a game for next-generation consoles starring Chow Yun Fat.
In the game, Fat will reprise his role as Tequila Yuen from Woo's 1992 action movie Hard Boiled:
“With Stranglehold, I want to go back to my roots and do a gritty, emotional and sensational game,” Woo said.
“It's kind of like Hard-Boiled but in a more updated environment. I never believed I could have topped my action in that film, but Stranglehold will bring the action to an even higher level.”
