Remember the Street Fighter video game adaptation with Jean-Claude Van Damme? Released in 1995, the film did not leave a lasting impression on fans of the fighting franchise.
according to The Hollywood ReporterThe legendary studio has bought the film and TV rights to the famous video game saga for a new adaptation on the big and small screen.
According to American media, Legendary will work with the Japanese company Capcom, which created Street Fighter. Will they be able to make people forget about 1995’s Nanari and another completely failed adaptation from 2009: The Legend of Chun Li?

Similar to the success of the collaboration between Nintendo and Illumination for Super Mario, we can only hope that the Capcom-legendary duo can also create a Street Fighter adaptation worthy of the name.
At this time, we have no information on the release date, cast or director. However, we know that the project is definitely ready!
Recently, another fighting video game franchise hit the big screen: Mortal Kombat. Very violent and particularly bloody, the work has the merit of doing better than 1995’s Nanar, directed by Paul W.S. Anderson.
