Street Fighter film production updates

Overview

Production details have emerged regarding the upcoming ‘Street Fighter’ film reboot directed by Kitao Sakurai. Actors Andrew Koji and Noah Centineo, who portray Ryu and Ken Masters respectively, have described an intense six-week training regimen involving martial arts such as Shotokan karate, judo, and kickboxing.

Director Sakurai, who also co-wrote the screenplay, has stated his intention to avoid conventional video game movie tropes. Instead of a generic Hollywood approach, the director aims to capture the “fun and irreverence” of childhood martial arts movies through a bright, pop-inspired visual style and a blend of comedy and martial arts action.
