info:

As we reported last year, Romeo Must Die and Exit Wounds director Andrzej Bartkowiak will helm the project, although we're more excited that Hong Kong fight choreographer Dion Liam – who worked on The Matrix– has been signed up to oversee the fight sequences.

Typically, movies based on video games don’t fare too well, and movies based on video games that are not particularly plot heavy tend to be even more problematic. And let’s also not forget that a previous attempt at a live-action Street Fighter movie was generally considered by most to be an outright disaster.

Despite all this, accomplished action movie director Andrzej Bartkowiak (Doom, Cradle 2 The Grave, Exit Wounds, Romeo Must Die) is signed on to the project, which is being produced by Twentieth Century Fox. A partial cast list has been released, so we’ve made our best guesses as to what parts everyone will be playing.



We already know that Kristen Kreuk (Smallville) has been cast in the titular role as Chun Li. Focusing on the plot line of this one character is probably the best news yet for fans of the series, as Chun Li has one of the most coherent plotlines in the canon.



Chris Klein has been cast as Nash, which is the Japanese name for the character we know as Charlie. Charlie is a war buddy of Guile’s that Chun Li is tracking because of his undercover connection with M. Bison, the man Chun Li seeks to enact revenge for the murder of her father.



Michael Clarke Duncan will be playing the part of Balrog, one of M. Bison’s personal bodyguards. MCD is always good, too bad He'll probably have a pretty small role in this.



Taboo of the Black Eyed Peas is cast in the film as well. One can only assume that he will be playing Vega. He’s got long, luxurious hair, and his face is probably best covered up with a mask. Really, the dude is unfortunate looking.



Rick Yune will be playing the part of Gen, the kung fu master that trained Chun Li. Which is weird because Gen is supposed to be like 100 years old but whatever.



Edmund Chen will most likely be playing the part of Ryu, and will very likely be developed into some sort of love interest for Chun Li.



I’m going to guess that Moon Bloodgood will be Cammy, the brainwashed clone enforcer of M. Bison that Chun Li has run ins with throughout the series. This would keep in line with the military/Shadowloo (M. Bison’s criminal organization) theme of the film that seems to be developing.



The only other actor that has not already been assigned a character is Pei-pei Cheng. The only obvious role for her would have to be Sakura. Sakura is a plucky young fan of Ryu that could serve as a comical sidekick and strengthen the connection between Chun Li and Ryu.

We still don’t know who will be playing M. Bison. Personally, I’d be pulling for Gary Oldman, myself. Or Clive Owen, it’s about time he played a really bad guy. Henry Rollins would be rad. The Rock may as well be Sagat now that Dolph Lundgren is getting a bit oldish. Owen Wilson as Ken would be funny, and I wouldn’t mind Jason Statham as Guile if he got some hair plugs for his bald-ass head. But let’s just leave the really corny characters out of this one, what do you say? That means no Blanka, E. Honda, Zangief or Dhalsim. This movie is guaranteed to be better without any green, hairy men or sumo wrestlers showing up for absolutely no goddamn reason like in the last Street Fighter movie.

here we go

If those guesses are indeed true, this movie may have potential. I can see Kristen playing Chun Li for some reason. Don't know about Rick playing Gen though haha but who knows maybe he can pull it off. And if Edmund is gonna play Ryu, he better pack some more muscle. I think Tony Jaa could make for a good Ryu.

alindeman1989

O man i cant wait for this movie. I wonder if Gen is going to have a s2000 haha.

I'd reallllyyyy like to believe all of this, I really would, but until I, or a real fan, funds the whole damn thing it is going to turn out pure shit. And oh yeah, I know Ryu is Japanese, but he is at the very least a mixed look. A real Japanese dude as Ryu does NOT WORK. It's got to be at least a mixed look. I personally love Chun-Li. I've heard lots of rumors and casted parts but alas none 'be true. Iheart Chun-Li. Hehe, me and my girlfriend dressed up as Ryu and Chun-Li a couple of Halloween's ago. It was a dream come true.

Yeah, I still think David Gallagher (Seventh Heaven, yeah I know I;m totally gay) would be an awesome Ken if he bulked up and learned enough Martial arts, And I always thought The Cruise looked alot like the Alpha Ryu, But we all know that will not happen.psshhhhh

oh shit this is comedy

Moonshine or whatever is weakkk. Get someone better. More saucy.

Donny Yen as Ryu FTW.

It'd be legit to see Zangief in the movie if it was a MMA that used Greco-Roman grappling in addition to his standard stuff. They really need to use him as the power house he is.

If Donny Yen = Ryu, then Cruise could play Ken. Cocky richy playboy that can kick ass.

On a side-note, remember that movie with Tom Cruise and Jamie Foxx? The title eludes me, but when i saw that, i could totally see him playing Solidus Snake in the MGS movie. Maybe its just me.

an_orange_s2k

Kristen Kreuk is hot!!!

jackjack

donny yen would fuckin ROCK as ryu. i wonder who they'll go with for bison.

Antihero983

too bad the guy who played the original bison (and gomez from the first two adams family movies) died, i think he did a good job....even though the movie itself was...um....a tad corny...

Wow.

With a cast like this, the movie is going to blow.

Michael Clark Duncan is the only good person in the movie.

Kreuk is the definition of miscast since Jessica Alba as Invisible Woman and Halle Barry as Storm. In other words she's just cheap eye candy (can't act to save her life either). I hope she really beefs up because as far as I can see, she's just a bag of bones and won't live up to the Chun Li muscle and thighs. Haha.

It's also sad that Andrzej Bartkowiak's best film is Exit Wounds, and all this other movies could had been 10x better than they were.

Kristen Kreuk.....hmm....has she done any big screen movies?

I think I will see this movie...just for her.
