Street Fighter Live Action TV Show Starts Filming


The team behind Street Fighter: Legacy have found a financial backer for their Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist TV series.

You may recall that amazing live action filming for Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist now underway [http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=h2ZXSzaUIBQ].

"Hi SFAF supporters.....THE TIME HAS COME. Tomorrow we begin filming SFAF and will attempt to create something that is beyond your wildest dreams. It has been an incredibly tough, sometimes impossible road to get to this point, but faith, passion, determination and a 'never give up' spirit has gotten me and my awesome team to the start line. Wish us well and look forward to daily updates starting very soon!"

The show's Kickstarter campaign, which ran with Capcom's blessing, managed to raise a decent amount of it's target goal before being abruptly cancelled back in April. This was due to the team finding an official financial backer willing to foot the bill for the project.

A lot of the series main actors have already been cast, but a casting call [http://www.streetfighteraf.com/casting/] is looking for child actors to portray younger various of the famous Street Fighter heroes. This is an important note, as the story of Assassin's Fist takes us back to the formative years of Street Fighter stars Ryu and Ken.

No official release date for the series has been given, but the fact that filming has started means we are probably within a year of release.

I don't see how this can possibly go wrong!
I don't know, the movie was pretty damn good.

Can't tell if being sarcastic or not...

Honestly, I'm willing to give it a shot, but if the series disappoints then all those Bison Dollars went to waste.

The Anime t.v series was very good. But from a live action viewpoint, let's remember how "high" the bar was set with the aforementioned Live Action movie and Chun Li.

I hope they aren't total misers when it comes to the Hadoken special effects.

This is amazing. I remember watching that Street Fighter Legacy video years ago and I had no idea these guys had a bigger project in the works. I hope it's good, but if it turns out to be terrible, this thing has lots of "so bad it's good" potential.

Jesus .... as good as the trailer was, I'm scared to see what comes out of this.

Yep, larger-than-life Japanse characters always work out so well in live-action, don't they?
