MEMORIES
Oh, the memories! A reminder of those days from long ago, when my brother and I used to hit the arcades wherever we could and play the video games on offer. One of our favorites was Street Fighter. The hours (and cash) we spent on playing were all worth it. Of course, the game hit consoles eventually. This caused us both to miss hours of sleep by playing the game for hours. In fact, we would discover we’d actually been playing all night! We even went to the movies to see the Jean-Claude Van Damme movie from the 1990s (not our finest hour). However, we always seemed to go back to the game, even after months away from it.
Now, though, we have even more reason to relive our (much) younger days. Hitting screens in October is the big-budget reboot of Street Fighter. The film is based on the legendary Capcom game. It looks to be a winner, one that will K.O the box office opposition. Directed by Kitao Sakurai, it features an all-star cast. The film includes Noah Centineo as Ken Masters, Andrew Koji as Ryu, Cody Rhodes as Guile, Curtis ’50 Cent’ Jackson as Balrog, David Dastmalchian as Bison, and Jason Momoa as Blanka. Paramount Pictures has given us a knockout treat on its own.
Ok, so that looks SERIOUSLY cool!
THE PREMISE
Set in 1993, estranged Street Fighters Ryu (Andrew Koji) and Ken Masters (Noah Centineo) are thrown back into combat when the mysterious Chun-Li (Callina Liang) recruits them for the next World Warrior Tournament: a brutal clash of fists, fate, and fury. But behind this battle royale lies a deadly conspiracy. This conspiracy forces them to face off against each other and the demons of their past. And if they don’t, it’s GAME OVER!
Helmed by director Kitao Sakurai, Street Fighter is set to bring the battle from the arcade to the big screen. The film includes Hadoukens, roundhouses, and all your favorite characters.
BASED ON THE CAPCOM GAME
Based on the Capcom game, the film features a screenplay from T.J Fixman and Kitao Sakurai and a story by Dalan Musson and Gary Daubman. The film also features Callina Liang as Chun-Li, Joe ” Roman Reigns” Anoai as Akuma, Andrew Schultz as Dan Hibiki, Eric Andre as Don Sauvage, Vidyut Jammwal as Dhalsim, Orville Peck as Vega, Olivier Richters as Zangief, Hirooki Goto as E. Honda, Rayna Vallandingham as Juli, and Alexander Volkanovski as Joe. Additionally, the producers include Mary Parent, Cale Boyter, Jason Momoa, Takayuki Nakayama, and Stefan Makhoul. JJ Hook, Jay Ashenfelter, Kenzo Tsujimoto, and Haruhiro Tsujimoto are executive producers. Therefore, the film could be something that will entertain us and become a knockout success at the box office.
