Screenwriter Justin Marks has lots of amazing projects on his to-do list, including big screen adaptations of "Voltron," "He-Man" and "Street Fighter." Newsarama spoke to Marks about "Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li," who revealed that his goal is to provide a serious script for the film.
"Well the guy who wrote it, Steven E. de Souza was the writer on Die Hard, and directed it [the 1994 Street Fighter movie] too, I think it was just a function of what you see with movies like Batman and Robin opposed to Batman Begins, the creators of the former had a different Batman experience when they were young the 60's TV show, and now in the Nolen era, the influence are things like Millar's The Dark Knight Returns, and so that example is taken into the stratosphere," said Marks. "While I'm definitely not comparing Street Fighter to Batman Begins, I grew up with the Street Fighter games, and I don't see them as cheesy or funny, but as serious characters that deserve to be explored in their own right."
This seems like the correct answers, but great writing cannot save this movie. We have all seen the not-so-interesting photos and the fact that Andrzej Bartkowiak (Cradle 2 the Grave, Doom) is directing, plus the absence of Ken and Ryu, will make this film a complete disaster.
