Capcom Releases Cast for Live-Action Street Fighter Movie

You read it correctly my friends, Capcom has released a bit of info about the upcoming live-action movie based around thier Street Fighter series. Here's a bit from the press release:

"The story revolves around fan-favorite Chun-Li, who will be portrayed by actress Kristen Kreuk (of Smallville fame). Michael Clark Duncan, Neal McDonough, and Taboo of Black Eyed Peas are also on board to round out this all-star cast. The film will be made in conjunction with Hyde Park Films, and will be distributed by 20th Century Fox for a scheduled 2009 worldwide release.

The Street Fighter movie is only one of many projects Capcom has planned to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Street Fighter®. Summer 2008 will see the Japanese arcade release of the much-anticipated Street Fighter® IV.

Street Fighter was first released in 1987 to critical acclaim for its innovative features. This was followed up in 1991 with the smash hit Street Fighter® II, which broke records by being available in 500 thousand arcade cabinets and selling over 25 million units on home systems. These records cemented Street Fighter’s reputation as one of the most popular fighting game series of all time and ensured that the fighting genre would become a staple of the gaming world.

The cast so far includes:

• Chun-Li: Kristin Kreuk. Plays the role of Lana Lang in the WB television series Smallville .

• Balrog: Michael Clarke Duncan. The Island (2005), Sin City (2005), Daredevil (2003), The Scorpion King (2002), Planet of the Apes (2001), See Spot Run (2001), The Whole Nine Yards (2000), The Green Mile (1999), Breakfast of Champions (1999), Armageddon (1998)

I love how the press release makes absolutely zero mention of the previous one.

And for good reason.

Raul Julia as M. Bison > You

The rest, yes, I concur.

[MalaCloudy Black]

Dude, Michael Clarke Duncan as Balrog? Must. see.

[Johnny Latino Heat]

What, no Van Damme? (N)

Isn't Jean Claude getting a little old for this? Even so, They could of got RVD to do the role, They look like twins as it is and RVD would be for it, Seeing as he is a comic nut.

I do now, I hate the internet at times like this

Bison: For you, the day Bison graced your village was the most important day of your life. But for me... it was Tuesday.

I've always loved the way Raul Julia delivered that line...probably the only good line in the movie

The fuck? I'm glad Capcom's back supporting the SF franchise full bore and all...but did they look at the grosses the Van-Damme one made? Did they forget that that movie failed in an era when Street Fighter was huge?

As for the casting, well...Michael Clarke Duncan and Neal McDonough's awesome is offset by Chris Klein's horridness, so that's a mixed bag. Don't know how Kreuk or the BEP guy would fare, but they'd probably just be mediocre.

[Cactus Drags]

The original film is all kinds of awesome, you ingrates.

Are you high? That movie is full of good lines.

"QVICK! SOMEVUN CHANGE ZEE CHANNEL!"

[brenchill]

Yeah, I heard about this awhile back. It went on hold while Kylie was fighting cancer. She's recovered now, thank god, so she can reprise her role of Lieutenant Cammy!

[Fanku Kaibutsu]

The Street Fighter movie was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. No matter how good this new one is, it won't top the old animated Street Fighter movie.

[Dublin]

Chris Klein? That dickhead from American Pie? OF ALL PEOPLE.

There better be some awesome Hadoukens.

[britneyspearsisgod]

THIS guy as Vega?

Kane would have been ten times the awesome >_>
