Kristin Kreuk as Chun Li

ComingSoon.net has learned that “Smallville” star Kristin Kreuk will play Chun-Li in Hyde Park Entertainment’s Street Fighter: Legend of Chun-Li! Directed by Andrzej Bartkowiak from a Justin Marks script, the action pic starts filming in Thailand in March, 2008. 20th Century Fox will distribute the live-action feature based on Capcom’s video game. The movie is focused on female fighter Chun-Li and her journey for justice

Apparently, earlier news indicated the first choice pick was Jessica Biel.  But honestly, wouldn’t Zhang Zi Yi be the best candidate?  The focus this time is on Chun Li’s story as an Interpol agent out to the avenge her father’s death.  Now I’m wondering if this will allude to more individual character based sequels?
