Here is the first official U.S. trailer for ‘Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li.’ The movie will be released in theaters in the U.S. on February 27, 2009. See photos and the movie trailer video here.
The movie is directed by Andrzej Bartkowiak (Romeo Must Die, Exit Wounds) and written by Justin Marksand (Masters of the Universe, Voltron). It is the second live action movie based on the popular Capcom Street Fighter video game franchise.
Actress Kristin Kreuk (Smallville) stars as the protagonist Chun-Li, with a supporting cast that includes Neal McDonough, Chris Klein, Michael Clarke Duncan, Robin Shou, Moon Bloodgood and singer Taboo of Black Eyed Peas.
Devastated by the kidnapping of her father, Chun-Li takes to the streets of Hong Kong, embarking on an epic quest for justice – and hurtling toward a confrontation with a seemingly unstoppable foe.
Although similar to the Japanese trailer which premiered a few days ago, the U.S. trailer features new footage and a look at some of the secondary characters; Detective Maya Sunee (Moon Bloodgood) and Vega (Taboo) in particular.
The movie was produced for 20th Century Fox by Patrick Aiello and Ashok Amritraj and shot on location in Bangkok, Thailand, Hong Kong, China, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, and Reno, Nevada and Herlong, California, United States.
Here are several photos from the movie. More photos and the Street Fighter movie trailer video are below.
