Street Fighter He has had an irregular performance in cinema, starting with his debut. In 1994, when the saga of Capcom was already sweeping the market, an animated adaptation and another in live action were released months apart, one produced in Japan and another in the US. While Street Fighter II: The Movie was acclaimed by the public, Street Fighter, the last battle (starring Jean-Claude Van Damme) was a debacle behind the cameras that, as was inevitable, ended up destined for cult status. Since then animated versions have accumulated, and some other live action such as Street Fighter: The Legend in 2009.
Today, on the other hand, video game adaptations are going through their best moment, so naturally Hollywood wants to get the most out of these fighting games with a blockbuster. Collider recently went to the Las Vegas Licensing Expo and there he saw the presentation in society of a new film by Street Fighterwhich has been developing little by little, and without much media attention, during the last few months. Legendary Entertainmentstudio responsible for other sagas such as Godzilla and Kong either Duneis the production company behind an ambitious adaptation launched after the commercial success of the last video game published to date, Street Fighter 6.
The new one Street Fighter presented official logo, very similar to that of the original video games. There is speculation that the film will take a more comedic look at the franchise (perhaps as happened in The last Stand, only now voluntarily), but if anything has surprised it is the identity of those who will direct the film. It’s about brothers Danny and Michael Philippou. These Australian filmmakers had filmed several comic pieces about a Ronald McDonald killer before, in 2023, they surprised the world with the horror film Tell me.
Launched by A24, tell me It was the most applauded genre film of last year, and it had such an impact that the production company rushed to announce a sequel. This would be titled in English Talk 2 Me: The Sequel, and in theory I would once again have the Philippou at the helm. However, it seems that on your agenda Street Fighter has priority, and the film is currently looking for a cast. Even without knowing anything about the plot, we can assume that it brings together the most popular Capcom characters, style Ryu either Chun-Li.
