Ashok Amritraj's Hyde Park Entertainment and Capcom Ltd. are getting in the ring for a film version of popular vidgame franchise "Street Fighter."

Scribe Justin Marks has been tapped to adapt.

Hyde Park and Capcom -- Japanese publisher of "Street Fighter" -- will produce the film in a joint venture.

Pic will focus on the game's most popular female fighter, Chun Li, but the exact storyline is being kept under wraps.

In 1994, Universal released a "Street Fighter" movie starring Jean-Claude Van Damme that featured most of the characters from the game.

Hyde Park and Capcom's film is targeted to bow in 2008, the 20th anniversary of the game franchise.

The Street Fighter series helped ignite the arena fighting genre that's still popular in the vidgame world.

When it first debuted, it generated heated controversy over the graphic depictions of violence.

Though it has been less popular in recent years as the number of competitors has increased, "Street Fighter" games have sold over 25 million console games and 500,000 arcade units, generating more than a billion dollars in revenue.

Marks just completed writing "Voltran" for producer Mark Gordon.

He is repped by William Morris Agency.

Hyde Park will be selling the project at the American Film Market, which unspools this week in Santa Monica.

When you forget history you are doomed to repeat it. This may be a catastrophe on scale with a third world war.

The original movie had Jean-Claude Van Damme playing Guile, of course it was horrible. The true crime is that it was Raul Julia's last movie before his death as M. Bison lol. That movie was fucking awful. I am not looking forward to another SF movie, the cartoon one was alright though.

I was being sarcastic, but I suppose it has a special place in my heart because of nostalgia

I liked the original Street Fighter movie back when it came out. I think I was in 7th grade or something. I watched it a couple months ago on TV, and realized how bad it really is.
