Street Fighter is on everybody's mind lately. Be it the Street Fighter II Turbo HD remix which is set to appear this season or the new generation Street Fighter IV which is already being showcased at the Tokyo Game Show these days, every gamer has been talking about this title.

But let's not forget that a second Street Fighter movie is going to be filmed in Hollywood, after the original 1994 title, with Chun Li as the main character, and it will focus on her story as a fighter. Speaking about this upcoming new movie, the writer and director of the first one, Steven E. de Souza, thinks that it will be much better than his creation, which did very terrible at the box office.

"I heard that it’s the story of just Chun-Li," he said. "That has to make for a better picture. When we were making the original one, they insisted that all of the characters be in the movie. And if you do the math, that gives you about 7 minutes per character if you split it up equally."

He also stated that this period is much better for writing and filming a game-based movie because gaming companies know that they shouldn't put pressure on the script writer and director if they want the end result to be good. De Souza said the main cause for the failure of his production was the fact that Capcom wanted to have as many characters in the movie as possible.

"I’m envious of this group, because they’re able to construct a movie around a single character rather than a three-ring circus that needs to be lassoed with the story," he insisted. "It’s a rich universe, and I think it can support all of these versions."

Well let's just hope that this game-based film will have a bit of success, and since we're still waiting to see the Max Payne one, and the God of War title seems like it will start shooting also, gamers, keep your fingers crossed.
