The question here I think is how badly both movies are going to suck, given the track record on video games turned into movies.
So far!
On Tekken: Helming the film will be Dwight Little, director of Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid, Steven Seagal's Marked for Death, and Free Willy 2: The Adventure Home
On SF: Kristen Kreuk will be Chun-Li.

Street Fighter: Legend of Chun-Li link.
Alternate wiki links:
Tekken.
SF: Chun-li. (under film and animation)

Hrm... shall we start placing wagers on which will suck the most: Street Fighter, Tekken, Dragon Ball, or Speed Racer.

I'll start placing wagers on how many people are going to see SF just because its Kristin Kreuk.
And how many fanboys are going to hate it because it's not canon/faithful/good.

So, when's a Soul Caliber movie coming out? Another Mortal Kombat? Killer Instinct? Final Fight? Clayfighter? (street fighter the later years part 7 )

Jessica Biel is apparently among the top choices to play Chun in the movie now. That has to be the worst casting job ever if it turns out to be true. >_<
http://www.anaparsons.com/ - This is the girl that played Chun in the Street Fighter: The Later Years movies. She's not exactly OMGSHESHOULDPLAYCHUNLI material, but at least she CAN LOOK the damn part.

Jessica Biel?!? WTF?!?
That's like that Caucasian guy in "Kung Fu" playing a Shaolin monk.
At least get someone that's actually Asian. Like maybe Maggie Q or Zhang Ziyi.
EDIT:
Please let it be Maggie Q. -_-

I'd like to see a KI movie made. It'd be interesting see how Glacius and Cinder will look like as CG-characters.

***BREAKING NEWS***
***PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT***
DO NOT F*CKING WATCH STREET FIGHTER:
THE LEGEND OF CHUN-LI
Rick paid for my ticket, so I got in for free but it was absolutely-god-awful-TERRIBLY HORRIBLE.
...It was so bad it makes Van Damme's Guile look like GSP when he beat Penn.
I was laughing so much at the bad acting it made my face hurt.
Rick got very annoyed while watching it. On the way out he told me (quite loudly) that he was VERY ANNOYED!!! Specially because he paid for our tickets! It's good I promised him a burger before watching, and that I told him to -expect the worst-.
Well, IT WAS WORSE THAN THE WORST!!! It's probably the most horrible film I've had to watch at a movie theater (the Japanese film Koizora was worse).
AGAIN, DO NOT WATCH. Instead, go buy Starbucks/Mcdo and treat yourself+significant other or donate it to charity, or just go read a dictionary!!!! IT'S THAT BAD.
Actually it was funny for me and painful for Rick. Just get a pirated copy. So, so, so, bad.

WARNING: This movie just sucks. Don't bother watching, I won't even try to recall anything about it except that it sucked. It wasn't even funny suck like how Big Rigs sucked, it sucked compared to other movies that sucked like when compared to the Original Street Fighter movie with Van Damme.
Grim, heed our warnings. I don't care how much of a Street Fighter fan you are, The Legend of Chun-Li is an act of betrayal to its fans and an eye sore to anyone who has to sit through the whole thing. If ever you do decide to watch, I hope you get lulz like Sforza, but don't expect anything awesome at all, and will just reinforce your perspective that video game to movie adaptations will never be a good combination. Heck, I feel like watching one of Uwe Boll's movies just to rehabilitate myself.
M.Bison didn't even do his signature Psycho Crusher dive, and all I thought that one thing may save the whole movie from sucking from the last hour and the half.

Thanks for the warning, I guess. Some friends invited me and were actually planning on watching it, though I think I'll just pass the invitation and I won't warn them about it.

Haha despite what I said earlier in this thread, I have zero intention of doing so. It's a waste of time and money.

WTF were you boys thinking?!? Sure, Kristin Kreuk's pretty. But that's freaking not enough. Didn't the title by itself deter you already? I can't believe you sent money the way of this studio. Sorry Rick but that was an epic fail.
Oh and LOL, Street Fighter has a 0% rating in Rotten Tomatoes.

Yep, just saw the movie a few hours ago. I really wish I had read these posts before I had gone. I've never had such a strange mix of laughter and anger swell through me like this before.
