New Street Fighter Movie Gets a Director
Man behind Doom put at the helm.

The man in charge is Andrzej Bartkowiak, whose directorial credits include the action star/rapper combos of Romeo Must Die, Exit Wounds, and Cradle 2 the Grave, as well as, er, Doom. He's also been a cinematographer on a number of different films, including Lethal Weapon 4, U.S. Marshals and Speed.

Oh, joy. With that guy at the helm, this movie will be as successful as Titanic. Not the movie, the actual ship.

I hope all the fight scenes take place in front of a static camera that's located to the side of the characters.

Ryu will probably be played by 50 cent.

E. Honda will be played by Syd.

I hope we get a first person scene where Ryu runs around shooting hadoukens at zombies.

I forgot who they cast for Chun Li, but I'm pretty sure it's the worst fucking choice ever. Can't remember her name right now, but IT'S A GODDAMN WHITE CHICK, CHUN LI IS ASIAN IDIOTS.

Steven Segal will play every character.

"I gotta ask, maybe I missed the internal lore and sequels to street fighter so in this case you would just be updating me on important changes to the characters but: At what point did blanka start practicing aikido? And being an asshole?"

Ha, if Steven Seagal gains ten more pounds, he'd be perfect for E. Honda.

Also, there's only one Street Fighter movie worth mentioning, and it stars Sonny Chiba.

Any movie where the protagonist tears off another man's testicles is a worthy movie.

Please, if any character is begging to be portrayed by Steven Seagal it's Dan Hibiki. Hell, they even have the same pony tail. The only thing Dan has over Steven is I actually like stuff with Dan in it.

Dan Hibiki didn't exist until SFA though. Of course, the movie might include Alpha characters.

They probably will, seeing as the main characters now are Balrog, Dudley, Dee Jay, and Birdie.

Kylie Minogue? She uh, hm. She did that song German Bold Italic, and that was Towa Tei's song, so that's like... six degrees of... no.

You're right. Get someone like Kobe Tai, but less stretched out!

I'm sure you guys have seen these... but if you haven't, here they are. They should just get these movies and put them on the big screen. It'll be better than the crap they are probably planning. Of course I hope im wrong.

Kylie Minogue was Cammy.

Of course, this is probably the geek/nerd in me that is saying this, but Ziyi Zhang for Chun Li. She is flexible enough to pull off her fighting moves and hot enough.

I said that same thing back in May:

Ha, shows how well I paid attention to it.

Also, if Nora Maio wasn't so old, she would be a hot Chun Li. Probably not able to fight a lick, but still hot enough to portray Li.

That's one of the many highlights. Cool

I have to ask, is street fighters popular enough today to warrant another movie? I can understand back in the day, street fighters was the shit then and popular enough to spawn a movie.

But today, with so many new Video Game franchise to choose from and Street Fighters has already proven to be a bad idea for a movie, why not leech off a more popular franchise of today.

Oh wait, probably because Uwe Boll already bought all the licenses. Nevermind Razz

Is Gossip Girl or Sarah Conner already too late to be shows? Nothing is too unpopular to commercialize. Case in point: Johnny Depp's Dark Shadows movie.
