Straight Outta Compton, Fast 8 director making Saints Row movie Gat's out the bag. News by Tom Phillips Deputy Editor Updated on 22 May 2019 19 comments F. Gary Gray will direct a big screen version of Saints Row, Deadline has reported. The director is no stranger to films about naughty folk up to no good, having previously helmed both gangsta rap biopic Straight Outta Compton and The Fate of the Furious, AKA the one with Charlize Theron.
