Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li is now in post-production and it is getting a lot of praise from the Street Fighter fan base. Canadian and former Smallville star Kristin Kreuk (Lana Lang) will play Chun-Li – let’s hope she gets the kicks just right! There doesn’t seem to be a trailer out yet but we’ll have it as soon as it leaks. Sorry Van Damme, but this movie is expected to surpass the original since it focuses on one character instead of an onslaught of story lines. I expect Adlabs Films to make a franchise out of this and create more ‘Legend of’ movies for the other characters.

Stars:
Kristin Kreuk (Smallville) as Chun-Li
Michael Clarke Duncan (The Green Mile) as Balrog
Moon Bloodgood (Terminator Salvation) as Maya
Neal McDonough (Traitor) as M. Bison
Chris Klein (American Pie) as Nash
Taboo (Black Eyed Peas) as Vega
Robin Shou (Mortal Kombat) as Gen
