Kristin Kreuk to play as Chun-Li in New Street Fighter Movie
Now THAT is enough reason for me to watch this movie!
As was confirmed that a New Street Fighter movie will go into production next year, it seems like Kristin Kreuk will be taking the character of Chun-Li. Kristin doesn’t only have a pretty face, but I really like how she acts in Smallville. Though I don’t really think she can pull a Chun-li off, I think It’d be decent enough if the directors really wanted a caucasian actress for Chun-Li. I mean, aside from Chun-Li being Asian, I can’t Imagine Kristine in a Martial-Arts film even if she has a few snippets of action sequences in Smallville (Better to be skeptic than highly anticipating a film, then be dissapointed in the end).
If only Chun-Li would be played by either Karen Mok or Zhu Qi, now THAT would really be legendary.
The new Street Fighter movie, dubbed as Street Fighter: Legend of Chun-Li, is directed by Andrzej Bartkowiak, director of Romeo Must Die, Exit Wounds, and Cradle to the Grave.

Hmm I wonder if she’ll do a good job, I hope she does. She doesn’t look Asian at all though, and I don’t think she really fits the description physically. Does she? o.o

I hated how she acted in Smallville. She was just this sweet little self-righteous girl.
Though I agree, she’s really pretty!
But as KT said, she doesn’t look Asian, though.

Indeed. It’s like the rumors that Jet Li would be playing as Steve Fox in the upcoming Tekken Movie.
Jet Li = Chinese
Steve Fox = Brittish

LOL We’ll just have to see the movie then.:P Is this official? It might be a hoax, like the rumors that floated that Freddie Prinze Jr. would play Riddler, only to have the role given to Heath Ledger.
To be fair to Kristin Kreuk, she does have a bit of Chinese blood, right?

I hope she can do martial arts, if not the movie will suck.
