John Woo keen on making new game

MCV Staff 8th December 2009 Business News

World-renowned action director John Woo is keen to create another video game – following his involvement in 2007 chart hit Stranglehold.

Woo released Stranglehold through Midway as an interactive sequel to his Eastern action classic Hard Boiled.

In a new interview with Cinematical, the director of Mission Impossible II and Face/Off said he’s still pressing ahead with a movie version of Stranglehold – and revealed a desire to create another game.

When asked if he was working on another game, he said:

No. I don’t have that much time, even though I want to make one again. But for the moment, I also am producing two movies. One is shooting in Taiwan. One is shooting in Shanghai. So I am quite busy these days.
