Another Street Fighter Movie

If at first you don’t succeed: fail, fail again.
12 years after Universal dropped the Jean Claude Van Damme “Street Fighter” onto an unsuspecting populus, Capcom has given motion picture rights to Hyde Park Entertainment. The new live action movie will focus on Chun Li, but the story is not being mentioned at this time. Justin Marks has been tapped to write the script, who also wrote 2003’s “The Stranger” starring powet.tv fave Xander Berkeley.
There’s no shortage of animated Street Fighter product, and UDON keeps comics on shelves, but every time someone tries to dress up like these characters, it looks corny.
They’re aiming for a 2008 release, in time for the 20th Anniversary of the series. Will this movie be any good? Hard to say. I mean, the first Street Fighter game was pretty dismal too, but we all know Street Fighter II.

Wow. That guy’s done pretty much nothing.
This is great news. I love the Van Damn Street Fighter movie.

STREET FIGHTER AND DARKSTALKERS.
If Capcom is working on the Street Fighter movie with Hyde Park Productions,
they should start talking to another production company Threshold Entertainment on the Darkstalkers series.
Threshold and Capcom should get the rights on the Darkstalkers franchise on
movies and TV show.
We would like and Darkstalkers movie to follow up the game series with sexy girls in skimply costumes,they will have some Playboy models in the film with other unknown B grade actors.
Larry Kasanoff and Joshua Wexler would like to take challange on the Darkstalkers project.
Thank You.

…I don’t think its putting people in the costumes Zac, just WHO those people have been… there some spot on Cosplay out there so it can be done… but the trouble comes when you ask them to act

Rumour has it that Kristin Kreuk (Lana Lang in Smallville) will be playing the role of Chun-Li.
Was in a recent issue of Impact magazine (not the martial arts mag but the movie mag)

I love street fighter, but why hasn’t anyone making Ken as the center character or Ryu?
