Feb 19 2008 'Street Fighter' Adds Duncan, Klein, Black Eyed Pea

After the worthless 1994 effort and every other awful video game movie to come out since, I didn't know it was possible to make me care less about a Street Fighter movie. Yet, somehow, they've found away: casting the incredible blandness of Chris Klein, Michael Clarke Duncan, and one of the Black Eyed Peas (also Rick Yune, whom I'm not familiar enough with to consider boring).

Kreuk, who plays Lana Lang in the CW's "Smallville," will star as martial artist Chun-Li. Duncan will play Balrog, while Klein is stepping into the role of Nash. Yune is taking on the mystical Gen.

Rounding out the cast are Moon Bloodgood, Taboo from the Black Eyed Peas, Singapore's Edmund Chen and Hong Kong film star Cheng Pei Pei.

In a sense, it's genius casting. Dimensionless video game characters played by vaguely similar-looking dimensionless actors. And a Black Eyed Pea.
