Capcom has revealed that it has not closed the door on future live action endeavours based on the Street Fighter universe despite the critical and commercial failure of its latest effort, The Legend of Chun Li.
Speaking with GamerLive, the publisher’s vice president of Strategic Planning & Business Development, Christian Svensson, said that fans can expect some ‘clever live-action’ efforts based on the popular fighting series in the future, confirming that more projects are in the works.
"I think you’ll see some clever live-action stuff that will excite our fans at some point in the future, based on Street Fighter," he said. "Let’s just say that the book is not yet done on Street Fighter film and video projects".
"… hopefully we get one right sometime in the future. There are more projects in the works,” he added.
The original Street Fighter movie, staring Jean-Claude Van Damme, hit cinemas in 1994 and has subsequently been regarded by fans and critics alike as one of the worst videogame – movie adaptations of all time.
