Street Fighter Movie Cast Revealed
Capcom has released a list of the main cast for its upcoming live-action Street Fighter movie, based on the extremely popular game series.
The story revolves around Chun-Li, portrayed by Smallville actress Kristen Kreuk. Michael Clark Duncan, Neal McDonough, and Taboo from Black Eyed Peas are also on board for this epic (we hope) film.
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 Fighters 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.
