Street Fighter has a patchy history on the big screen, to say the least, but the latest adaptation is doing things a little differently, according to director Kitao Sakurai.
If the irreverent Street Fighter trailer and the movie's wild casting choices are any indication, it's a film that isn't taking itself too seriously, and that's by design. "Everybody wanted to get behind creating a movie that had a very distinct tone and approach, that didn't feel like an off-the-shelf video-game movie," Sakurai told Empire Magazine. "I was brought on to make something that didn't feel conventional, and they really let me do my thing."
