Danny And Michael Philippou made a splash with their YouTube channel, RackaRacka, where they became known for their intense live-action horror comedy sketches.
The twin brothers then scaled up their YouTube sketches into an actual film, with the much-talked-about upcoming horror film, Talk To Me.
And it seems they're continuing their meteoric rise, as the pair were selected as directors on Legendary's upcoming Street Fighter film, which was announced back in April.
There's been little news on the film since April; however, the twins are at SDCC to promote Talk to Me, where Collider caught up with the pair to discuss the forthcoming video game adaptation.
Danny Philippou shared his excitement to work on such a large IP that doesn't have the trappings of other big movie franchises (Star Wars, Marvel, etc.).
"I think it's awesome that we have such a connection with the game and to the characters, and there's not like a pre-established big film franchise where we have to fall in line [with] an overall plot. I think that we'd have the freedom to create what that overall arc could be if it was gonna be a bunch of films."
"And also, we'd love the chance to do an action film. We'd love the chance to do big set pieces of a big budget because even on our YouTube stuff, we're designing stunt rigs that had never been done before, and to do that on a grand scale, man, I feel like we could create something no one's ever seen before."
Michael added, "And I think it's like, diving into the lore of Street Fighter, all the characters, where they come from has been so exciting. You just get endless ideas, so putting them to the screen, yeah, I think we can make something special."
The Philippou twins won't have much pressure to deliver something better than past Street Fighter live-action projects.
Although the 1994 film that starred Jean-Claude Van Damme and Raúl Juliá certainly has a small cult following, Kristin Kreuk's Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li film that followed in 2009 is widely regarded as one of the worst films ever made.
A few years back, Machinima teamed with Joey Ansah and Ryan Howard on two live-action web series: Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist (2014) and Street Fighter: Resurrection (2016), but neither series garnered a particularly large following.
Back in April, Legendary was said to be producing the film alongside Capcom as the search was on for a screenwriter after having secured Danny And Michael.
However, with the current ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strike showing no signs of slowing down, Street Fighter fans might be in for a long wait before any additional news breaks on the project.
