Publisher Capcom has announced the main cast for the forthcoming live-action Street Fighter movie based on its popular video game franchise.

The new film, which will be distributed by 20th Century Fox, will be centred around fan favourite Chun-Li, portrayed by actress Kristen Kreuk (Smallville).

Michael Clark Duncan (The Green Mile), Neal McDonough (The Hitcher) and Taboo from Black Eyed Peas will all have starring roles in the film.

The original 1995 Street Fighter movie, starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, was slammed by the critics, with Time Out describing it as a "noisy, brainless mess."

The new Street Fighter flick is being made by Hyde Park Films and will be released worldwide in 2009 as part of Capcom's Street Fighter 20th anniversary celebrations.
