Daily Variety reports that Hyde Park Ent. and Japanese video game publisher Capcom Ltd. are going to take another stab at making a feature film franchise of the popular Street Fighter video game. Universal first adapted the title in 1994 with martial arts star Jean-Claude Van Damme in the lead, but this latest attempt will reportedly focus on one of the game’s female combatants, Chun Li.

Hyde Park and Capcom will jointly produce the pic and the script is being written by Justin Marks, who is also attached to pen the upcoming Voltron movie for Mark Gordon Prods.

The Street Fighter movie is scheduled to debut in 2008 to coincide with the game’s 20th anniversary. To date, the interactive franchise has sold more than 25 million units for consloles and has generated more than a billion dollars at retail. Buyers can get more details on the Hyde Park/Capcom film at this Week’s American Film Market (AFM) in Santa Monica, Calif.

  STREET FIGHTER MOVIE.
  
  There was a Jean Claude Van Damme version of Street Fighter back in the 90's
  it was a bad movie,now there is a remake
  focusing on Chun Li but it should be more on Ryu and Ken during the stages it needs to be followed to the game with character storylines and some good fight trainers.
  No Van Damme and Kylie Minogue this time folks this time it will be new

  Keira Knightley should play as Cammy White, all she need is training like the actress in Tomb Raider only more in martial arts and some weight ganging.
