After Super Mario Bros, which landed in cinemas on April 5, another adaptation of a cult video game has been announced! Should we keep hope or start to tremble? Explanations.
In 1995, Street Fighter with Jean-Claude Van Damme was released in theaters. This adaptation of the fighting video game did not leave a great memory for aficionados of the franchise, to say the least!
According The Hollywood Reporterthe Legendary studio has bought the film and TV rights to the famous video game saga with the aim of making a new adaptation on the big and small screen.
According to the American media, Legendary will work hand in hand with Capcom, the Japanese company that created Street Fighter. Will they succeed in making people forget the 1995 nanar and the other completely failed adaptation of 2009, The Legend of Chun Li?
Like the success of the collaboration between Nintendo and Illumination for Super Mario, we can hope that the Capcom-Legendary couple can also give birth to an adaptation of Street Fighter worthy of the name.
At this time, we have no information on a release date, cast, or director. However, we know that the project is indeed in the pipeline!
Recently, another fighting video game franchise hit the big screen: Mortal Kombat. Very violent and particularly bloody, the work has the merit of doing better than the nanar released in 1995 and directed by Paul WS Anderson.
