shok 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.
Hyde Park and Capcom's film is targeted to bow in 2008, the 20th anniversary of the game franchise.
The Street Fighter series helped ignite the arena fighting genre that's still popular in the vidgame world.
When it first debuted, it generated heated controversy over the graphic depictions of violence.
Though it has been less popular in recent years as the number of competitors has increased, "Street Fighter" games have sold over 25 million console games and 500,000 arcade units, generating more than a billion dollars in revenue.
Marks just completed writing "Voltran" for producer Mark Gordon.
He is repped by William Morris Agency.
Hyde Park will be selling the project at the American Film Market, which unspools this week in Santa Monica. | |

Woops, sorry. I didn't notice the Subdirectories. I will becareful next time. Can delete or move this thread then...I'm really sorry, didn't mean to cause any harm
just to add a bit:
From what I am reading, this is a Hollywood production like the original Street Fighter -The Movie- with Jean Claud (i think it was him) so it's not that link you provided I think

I'm sorry, but I honestly don't see any hope for movie based on a videogame being good as there's too much of a stigma now relating to that.

it aint gonna be Dead or Alive however

It's going to be like Star Wars Episode 3 where it doesn't completely suck, but still does & only manages to embarrass SF players. | |
