Capcom reveals Street Fighter's movie cast

Posted on March 19th, 2008 at 16:00 EDT

Capcom has revealed the cast for their upcoming videogame driven movie project, Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li. Distributed by 20th Century Fox, the movie is set to release sometime in 2009.

As the movie title suggests, the storyline will be based around Chun-Li, a character introduced in Street Fighter II. She was the first female playable character in a 1 on 1 fighting title, and due to her lightning fast attacks and attractive female attributes, she became a fan favorite.

Confirmed Cast Members:

Chun Li will be played by Kristen Kreuk from TV's Smallville.
Balrog will be played by Michael Clarke Duncan from The Whole Nine Yards.
M. Bison will be played by Neal McDonough from The Guardian
Vega will be played by Taboo from the Black Eyed Peas.
Charlie Nash will be portrayed by Chris Klein from the America Pie trilogy.
Gen will be played by Rick Yune from The Fast and the Furious.

Even though the movie will be released in 2009 (first game released in 1987), its purpose is to commemorate the franchises 20 year anniversary (and make lots of money). We only hope that they learned from their last attempt, and it doesn't disappoint as bad as 1994's Street Fighter staring Jean-Claude Van Damme.

Next: GRID from Codemasters gameplay footage

We reported a couple of days ago in regards to the upcoming title GRID from Codemasters and how it has plans to race ahead of Gran Turismo in the simulation racing genre....

TBH Chris Klein is going to make me laugh just becase he's still the OZ to me. =P And Chun Li being Kristen Kreuk was a right choice. She has thos kat eyes. *_*

We have yet to see a live-action Streetfighter with Ryu as the main character, but this is never going to happen, unless Capcom themselves get involved like they did with the far superior animes. The same goes for the Tekken movie.

As far as I can recal Kristen Kruek isnt even Asian! she just has squinty eyes! Dude this is totally direct to video.

Atleast she has had fight training for Smallville so she'll atlaest know how to throw a punch.

Dad is Dutch and mom is Chinese-Jamaican. When did China become part of the NAU "Non Asian Union" lol. Besides regardles I am still going to root for Kristen "Kat Eyes" Kreuk.

 

Do Your Best!!

I kinda liked 1994's Street Fighter...

me too DeadonArrival,  i thought it was a GOOD game to film adaption, all the characters and story based on the leader, Col. Guile,  were in it and some signiture mooves too, + dont forget Raul Julia played the perfect M Bison! Van Damme played gule well too! minus a slight accent lol.

Kristen Kreuk is the only reason to watch that film! Same as Angelina Jolie is the only reason to watch Tomb Raider and Jessica Alba is the only reason to watch The Fantastic Four.

If this was produced and directed by the same team as the Underworld movies...or even Blade Trilogy....maybe people will actually remember it as an actual theatre movie!!??!!
