Chun Li and Company


According to Variety, with the casting of Kristen Krusek aka Lana “The Bitch” Lang as Chun Li in the new Street Fighter film, is reported some of the supporting actors.

Michael Clarke Duncan, Chris Klein and Rick Yune have joined the movie
based on the popular Japanese video game franchise.

Duncan will play Balrog, while Klein is stepping into the role of Nash.
Yune is taking on the mystical Gen.

Rounding out the cast are Moon Bloodgood, Taboo from the Black Eyed Peas,
Singapore’s Edmund Chen and Hong Kong film star Cheng Pei Pei.

Producers are still casting the film’s villain, Bison.

20th Century Fox will distribute the action pic, set to begin filming in
March. Shooting will take place in Bangkok, Hong Kong and Vancouver.

Andrzej Bartkowiak (Romeo Must Die, Exit Wounds) is directing from a script
written by Voltron writer Justin Marks. Hong Kong fight choreographer Dion Lam
(The Matrix) is handling the extreme fight sequences.

Ehh, could be interesting to see Michael Clarke Duncan as Balrog, but other then that, a musician in a movie when he or she doesn’t have any acting training or experience, bugs the hell out of me, like my gripe of Justin Timberlake in Black Snake Moan.

As I said in a previous Street Fighter post, I’m not gonna hold my breath.
