Capcom has announced the cast for its latest live-action Street Fighter film - The Legend of Chun-Li - due for release in 2009 to coincide with the (breathe in) 20th anniversary of the birth of the franchise. But something is very, very wrong - and that something is called 'reality' Capcom!
The film is based on the antics of Thor-thighed lovely Chun-Li. That's fine. The beautiful, pouting Kristen Kreuk (Lana Lang in TV's Smallville) - we like her - is cast to play her.
Eh? We love Chun-Li and we think Ms Kreuk is fair and maidenly. But come on, they're going to have to pad the young Canadian beauty's legs out like a dame in pantomime season to match Chun-li's mighty lower limbs.
Of course, we pick and niggle... but we're right.
Other cast members include:
Michael Clark Duncan - the big mouse-lovin' crim' from the Green Mile - and also the voice of Atlas from God of War II - will play Balrog.
Neal McDonough - from, erm, They Call Him Sasquatch and the voice of Bruce Banner in The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction - will play M. Bison.
Taboo - of popular music combo, The Black Eyed Peas - will play Vega.
Chris Klein - of American Pies I and II - will play Charlie Nash.
The movie will be made by Hyde Park Films, and will be distributed by 20th Century Fox for a scheduled 2009 worldwide release.
