"Street Fighter: the Legend of Chun-Li" blog launches

Cl22 The producers of the "Street Fighter" movie have launched a new website to blog about production, which is ongoing right now in Bangkok. First revelation: it's called "Street Fighter: the Legend of Chun-Li." I knew the movie focused on Chun-Li, but I didn't know that was the name. Maybe everybody knew that and I'm just ignorant.

The first blog entry goes over the casting we already know about, notes that Michael Clarke Duncan stands out a bit on the streets of Bangkok, and provides a little snippet of a storyboard. There's also the promise of a new casting revelation coming soon.

Check it out here.

Update: It looks like the blog has since been taken down. Oh well, hopefully some of you got to see it while it lasted. And hopefully it will be back up for you to enjoy soon. I'll keep the link up in case that happens.

Update 2 (4/10): The site is back. But now it has a different logo for the movie title. Perhaps it got taken down the first time because someone at Capcom or Hyde Park or whatever didn't approve of the original logo. Unfortunately I didn't save the original.
