The StreetFighter movie has tapped TalkToMe directors to helm the video game adaptation.
The Japan-based video game company, Capcom, is known for producing a number of timeless video games over the past decades, including Resident Evil, Mega Man, Devil May Cry, and Monster Hunter, among others. But one game that fans will definitely remember the Japanese company for is Street Fighter, which has long been a gaming industry staple since its 1987 debut.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT What started as an arcade game in 1987 has become one of the most successful fighting game franchises of all time, with equally successful game iterations. The game also features some of the most iconic characters, including the likes of Ryu, Zangief, M. Bison, and Chun-Li. While it's too early to predict how the adaptation will perform, it appears that the rights to the franchise have fallen into the right hands.
The Australian filmmakers, known for their YouTube channel RackaRacka, had recently proven that their creativity can go above and beyond, with their film debut, Talk to Me, receiving mostly positive reviews. Moreover, Legendary Entertainment has had its fair share of box office hits — video game adaptations, in particular — such as Detective Pikachu and Warcraft.
There are no additional details about the upcoming film, such as the actors involved or the plot, but fans will not run out of Street Fighter content in the coming years, as Legendary Entertainment has also acquired the television rights to the franchise, though details are still pending. While we're also still waiting for further updates, you can watch our interview with the Philippou brothers and the cast of Talk to Me at Sundance down below.
