Ashok Amritraj's Hyde Park Entertainment and Capcom Ltd. are developing a new movie based on the popular videogame franchise "Street Fighter," says Variety. Screenwriter Justin Marks has been hired to adapt.

Hyde Park and Capcom -- Japanese publisher of "Street Fighter" -- will produce the film in a joint venture.

The movie 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 be released in 2008, the 20th anniversary of the game franchise.

Marks just completed writing Voltran for producer Mark Gordon.

Can someone seriously tell me how this was at all a good idea? I mean honestly, I almost cried after reading this. This is such a sad sign of things to come if they're digging for VIDEO GAME FILM SEQUELS for films that were released YEARS ago, and STILL sucked ass. Ugh.

My only hope is that it's animated, but all signs point to it not being that way.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The only thing the original Street Fighter is good for is hearty laughs among friends because of how horrific the whole thing is, how cheesy the dialogue is, and how many times Van Damme can do a roundhouse kick. Even the drinking game (take a drink whenever Van Damme does a roundhouse kick) is flawed because he doesn't unleash anything until the very end.

It's one of the most useless movies ever made. It serves little to no purpose. Making another one is just downright puzzling.

What else is the word "now" supposed to mean? What I mean by it is that when they do useless rehashes, remakes, sequels, prequels, whatever, they USUALLY have a good reason for it from a purely business standpoint. This time, NOTHING makes sense in this decision. They've truly run out of ideas if they're dipping into an unsuccessful, widely-hated and just plain retarded video game adaptation.

I claim to know how to make films, not know how Hollywood works... That's something they really don't teach at my school. I'll find out on my own when I move out there.

Out of curiosity, what quote and what film do you speak of?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

And I can only assume that means you went to a technical program, then? I strongly encourage you to take some film history courses, mate. It'll do your work a world of good.

FUCK! OF COURSE! Although, to my defense, I haven't seen that movie in 8 years. I take a few film studies courses, but it's mostly analysis, theory, and critical study on a particular subject. I took one film history course but it was extremely broad.

I was speaking idiomatically.
