Well, apparently SNK got jealous over the news of a Street Fighter movie (which may or may not star Jessica Biel as Chun-Li). So Variety reports that Hong Kong action director Gordon Chan ("The Medallion," "Fist of Legend") is to direct an English-language, live-action adaptation of best-selling videogame "King of Fighters." Pic will lense in Asia in first quarter of 2008...Screenplay is being written by "Fearless" scripter Chris Chow. Since it's not filming for another year, there's no telling who or what the plot will be based around. Nests? Maximum Impact/ Meira family issues? Pop star idol battle of Athena Asamiya vs Minon Beart? (ok that last guess nauseated me a bit)
I am trying really hard to think of a way that this movie won't be completely campy and failing miserably. The camp is inevitable. That being said, a scene where B Jenet beats someone with her shoe would absolutely be worth the price of admission.
