Classic Sega Arcade Game Lands Director For A New Movie
This December, Sonic the Hedgehog 3 will bring the fan-favorite hero back to big screen, but that's not the only game adaptation on the way from Sega.

Via The Hollywood Reporter, Sam Hargrave has signed on to direct the Shinobi movie. Hargrave is a former stuntman and stunt coordinator who directed both Extraction movies on Netflix starring Chris Hemsworth. Hargrave is also slated to direct Extraction 3 for the streamer.
