Kristin Kreuk Talks "Street Fighter"

Kristin Kreuk and Chris Klein spoke to Sci-Fi Wire during the Video Game Awards about the upcoming "Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li" film and the characters they are playing.

"It's about the character Chun-Li," said Kreuk. "It's her origin story from when she was a little girl. She loses both of her parents. Her father is taken away. She doesn't know that, and she goes on a revenge journey and then eventually finds a teacher, a master to help her overcome her emotional attachments to getting her revenge so that she can actually see a greater good, and then go forth and fight from there."

For his part, Klein plays Charlie Nash, a rogue Interpol agent. "[He's] an American," Klein said. "Chasing after the villain in our movie, Bison, played by Neal McDonough. Kristin's character, Chun-Li, and I discover we're after the same bad guy. So we team up a little bit, and heroic adventures ensue."

The new movie is scheduled to hit theaters on February 27th, 2009.
