One part of that title is true, and no, sadly, it isn't the two awesome choices, it's the confusingly bizarre one.
Latino Review, via Kotaku (via my laptop, via coal-burning power plants) has a bit of casting news from the upcoming Street Fighter movie that is simply mind-boggling. The rumor claims that Jessica "Severely Not Chinese" Biel is at the top of the casting pile for the role of Chun-Li, a character defined as much by her many appearances in the Street Fighter series as she is by the fact that she's not from Minnesota.
I know the studios have to reach out to an audience somewhat larger than the video game demographic, but shoehorning Little Miss FantasticAss into the role is not only culturally insensitive, it's the sort of move that will drive the fanboy demographic screaming from the theaters (and possibly into oncoming traffic).
Then again, I'm holding out hope that the producers have some kind of bizarre homage to Russ Meyer in mind for this movie. I envision filling all the roles with young Hollywood tartlets, and calling it Faster Blanka, Zap, Zap!
Ideas like that are what got me into Roman Polanski's house the first and third time ... I, um ... I don't wanna talk about the second time ...

sure shes not chinese but shes asian whos gonna know -.-;;.
so sorry
Ethinicity sometimes takes a hit when converting other media to movies. Look at hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. Personally I think its gonna be good having a Hot Chun-Li
I agree Ziyi Zhang would be a good Chun-Li same thing though, she doesn't deserve to be in a garbage movie.
Gary Coleman as Master Chief
Tom Arnold as Samus Aran
Scarlett Johansson as Mario, Rachel Ray as Luigi
And I'm pretty sure skinny Zhang lacks the thunder thighs.
wait. lets not.
i vote robin williams. what he lacks in thunder thighs he more than makes up for with arm hair and run by fruitings.
With a decent script and some good fight choreography, I actually think it would be pretty decent (and probably the best movie based on a game in quite a while if not ever...although that's not saying much) popcorn flick.

I would pay good money to see Scarlett and Rachel Ray as Mario and Luigi. Cast Jessica Alba as the princess, write in a Mushroom Kingdom orgy, and I'm there.
