The incredible 1979 gangster thriller film The Warriors is going to the small screen thanks to an adaptation led by Joe and Anthony Russo (Captain America: Civil War), according to Deadline. The duo will direct the pilot, which will be written by Frank Baldwin.
In the original film, which was directed by Walter Hill, “…a charismatic leader summons the street gangs of New York City in a bid to take it over. When he is killed, The Warriors are falsely blamed and now must fight their way home while every other gang is hunting them down to kill them.”
The TV series will be done for Paramount TV and Hulu.
