The new Street Fighter movie focuses on Chun Li (Kristin Kreuk) and features Michael Clarke Duncan as Balrog, Chris Klein as Nash, and Rick Yune as Gen. Andrzej Bartkowiak is directing from a screenplay by Justin Marks (Voltron, Hack/Slash). Dion Lam, who staged the fight scenes in The Matrix, is choreographing Street Fighter’s martial arts combat.

Is Hollywood really so bankrupt of ideas that they have to recycle old ones which didn't work in the first place?

Sci Fi Channel wrote:Kristin Kreuk and Chris Klein, stars of Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li, told SCI FI Wire that the film remains true to the video game on which it's based.

Kreuk plays the title character and said Chun-Li's origin story is drawn from the game.

"It's about the character Chun-Li," she said in an interview on the red carpet for the Video Game Awards in Los Angeles over the weekend. "It's her origin story from when she was a little girl. She loses both of her parents. Her father is taken away. She doesn't know that, and she goes on a revenge journey and then eventually finds a teacher, a master to help her overcome her emotional attachments to getting her revenge so that she can actually see a greater good, and then go forth and fight from there."

For his part, Klein plays Charlie Nash, a rogue Interpol agent. "[He's] an American," Klein said. "Chasing after the villain in our movie, Bison, played by Neal McDonough. Kristin's character, Chun-Li, and I discover we're after the same bad guy. So we team up a little bit, and heroic adventures ensue."

lein admits to being a fan of the Street Fighter game from way back. "Capcom is coming out with a new version of the game," he added. "Street Fighter version four for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, in the first part of next year. But I was Nintendo 64 Street Fighter version two, since I'm a little bit older."

Kreuk (Smallville) said she had to train hard to perform her character's martial-arts moves. "We did a bunch of stuff," she said. "A lot of wire work, a lot of kung fu and tai chi stuff. I did some sword fighting, which I don't think is in the movie. It was awesome. We couldn't fit it in timewise." Kreuk added that some crew members got sick while filming and ended up in the hospital.

Klein, similarly, trained hard. "I got to work with [an] Australian counter-terrorism unit," he said. "And we went in, and they taught me how to shoot guns. I don't have a lot of experience shooting an M-16 rifle or a 9 mm Beretta, so it was a lot of fun. And Charlie Nash's weapon of choice is a 9 mm Walther P99. So I got to have some fun with that and shoot with that. And, actually, Moon Bloodgood, who plays another Interpol agent in Bangkok, Thailand, who Charlie teams up with, ... we got to do that. We got to shoot guns and do some tactical training."
