Hey, remember that really goofy "Street Fighter" movie that starred Jean-Claude Van Damme and (in his final role) the great Raul Julia? Remember how it pretty much stunk? Yeah, well get ready for an all-new adaptation of that particular video game.
From Variety: "Ashok Amritraj‘s Hyde Park Entertainment and Capcom Ltd. are getting in the ring for a film version of popular vidgame franchise "Street Fighter."
Scribe Justin Marks has been tapped to adapt. Hyde Park and Capcom — Japanese publisher of "Street Fighter" — will produce the film in a joint venture.
Pic will focus on the game’s most popular female fighter, Chun Li, but the exact storyline is being kept under wraps. In 1994, Universal released a "Street Fighter" movie starring Jean-Claude Van Damme that featured most of the characters from the game."
Hey, there’s no way it could be lamer than the first flick. (Is there?)
