and in the year 2009… jeo wrote this at 4:43 pm • Filed under Try This On For Size!, The Tattered Screen •

i hear these two are already in production and are slated for next year…

according to online sources, it’ll star Kristin Kreuk as Chun-Li and the story will center around her. other cast will be Green Mile’s Michael Clarke Duncan as Balrog, American Pie’s Chris Klein as Charlie and Neal McDonough, that coastguard guy in The Guardian, as M. Bison. im hoping and praying that they wont even think of getting Mr. Van Damme to reprise his role as Guile. for the love of god.

now, i came upon this movie while roaming around the net for videos and stuff about Lateef Crowder, a brazilian guy who’s a capoeira pro and was featured in The Protector. he will be playing as Eddie Gordo, of course, and i think most people will agree that he’s perfect for the part. they say Paul, King and Lei are some of the game characters that wont be featured in the movie. and i think that sucks.

with the long list of game adaptations that sucked balls (like 1994’s Street Fighter or that DOA and Bloodrayne a few years back) its kinda hard to expect anything close to 5 oranges for these two flicks. they will either be amazingly and surprisingly good OR they will flop like shit and nobody aint gonna complain because they already expected it. let’s keep our fingers crossed
