Erik Feig’s indie production banner The Arena is developing Fatal Fury and Art of Fighting into movies, shows, anime and manga. The company is also working on adaptations of Metal Slug, Samurai Showdown and other titles from the SNK catalogue. David S. Goyer is writing the script for a Fatal Fury feature film. Goyer is best known for his work on Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight Batman trilogy.
The project follows brothers Terry and Andy Bogard as they seek revenge against South Town crime boss Geese Howard. Meanwhile, Grant Singer is writing and directing Geese, an origin story inspired by The Godfather films.
“It’s not just a fighting game,” Feig said about the South Town universe’s narrative potential. Robert Kirkman’s Skybound is producing an animated series titled Fatal Fury: The Vow. The series will focus on the brothers’ formative years and their paths toward shared vengeance. Arena plans to release the show on YouTube for maximum audience reach.
Brandon Chen is also developing an Art of Fighting webtoon that will arrive first in the marketplace. Feig described Arena’s strategy as building “a whole ecosystem of conversation and connection. ” The multi-pronged approach accounts for long production cycles across different media entry points. Matt Reilly said the company follows “a north star mantra called ‘muscular prestige.
'” He added that Arena wants to “deliver something singular that is going to live up to the expectations of the IP. ” Arena officially launched in January with backing from Saudi-backed MiSK Group and MBC. The company also plans to develop original properties beyond SNK titles. Feig confirmed the financial backers support this broader creative approach moving forward.
