Most peple don't know who the hell she is? Granted she's hot, and I've seen her on her show, so know who you're talkin bout, but your general public isn't gonna.
"Your general public isn't gonna watch a Street Fighter movie!"
Which is valid, but that's why you cast someone who's been a show that has a built in fanbase, to try to lure them in..

Why would you make whole movies around Chun-Li and Guile and not Ryu? Same reason The Lost World was made around the Fly and not the likable characters from Jurassic Park. Well, okay. That movie was profitable, so it's not fair to compare the two. I agree that Chun Li has at least a usuable story, as avenging your dead father works as a story, as opposed to "Found in the jungle, learned to use the Electric Eels" or "We Japanese Fighters must stick toghether, because we are BROTHERS!" My only guess is that somebody decided that releasing a Street Fighter film was a good idea with the development of the 4th game underway, and Double K was free, and based on the Halle Berry rule, looks asian enough, and Smallville was pretty big some time ago before it became the "Is that still on the air?" show. |
