STREET FIGHTER: RESURRECTION Live-Action Miniseries Coming in 2016
There’s a new live-action miniseries coming based on the hit video game franchise Street Fighter. It’s called Street Fighter: Resurrection, and it’s being produced by Capcom and Machinima. It is also being created by the same team that brought us Street Fighter: Assassin’s Fist, which gave us the backstory of iconic Street Fighter characters Ken and Ryu. The team is being led by Joey Ansah, who has worked on films such as The Bourne Ultimatum and Snow White and the Huntsman.
We’ve got a synopsis for you below along with a teaser trailer for you to watch that puts the focus on the character Nash.
Street Fighter: Resurrection reunites Assassin’s Fist’s producers, Jacqueline Quella and Mark Wooding, Director and Writer, Joey Ansah. And series originals Mike Moh (Empire) and Christian Howard (The World’s End), who will reprise their roles as ‘Ryu’ and ‘Ken’. Set a decade after the events in ‘Assassin’s Fist’, Resurrection features the iconic Street Fighter character Charlie Nash, played by Alain Moussi (Suicide Squad, X-Men: Days of Future Past, Pacific Rim), who was revealed today at the Capcom Cup, the finale of the 2015 Capcom Pro Tour fighting game tournament series.
Iconic heroes Ken and Ryu are reunited to face their deadliest threat yet. The long-presumed dead Charlie Nash is back, and is targeting legendary Street Fighter champions for mysterious reasons. Now it’s up to Ken and Ryu to uncover his lethal plan and discover if he is ally or enemy. Keep your friends close, and your guard up.
The series will premiere in March of 2016 and it will be a five-episode event that ties in with Capcom's highly-anticipated video game Street Fighter V, which will be released on February 16th, 2016.
The series is set to air exclusively on go90.
