“Our priority is to stay true to the appearance, fighting techniques, and canon of the Street Fighter game,” Quella added. “At the same time, we’ve managed to make this an emotion- and character-driven story, which will surprise viewers who might just be expecting a super-faithful fight fest!”
The live-action series, which is distributed by
Content Media, is the brainchild of Ansah (The Bourne Ultimatum, Snow White and
the Huntsman), a member of the creative team behind the hugely successful fan
film Street Fighter: Legacy—which has received almost 5,000,000 views to date.
Ansah, who also stars in the series (Akuma), wrote the script with Christian
Howard, who reprises his role as Ken Masters from the original fan film. The
series also stars Mike Moh as Ryu, Togo Igawa (47 Ronin, Memoirs of a Geisha,
The Last Samurai) as Gōtetsu, Akira Koieyama as Gōken, Gaku Space as Gōki, Mark
Killeen (300: Rise of an Empire, The Dark Knight Rises) as Mr. Masters, and Hal
Yamanouchi as Senzo. Through the coming of age story of Ken & Ryu, we are
shown the back story of some of the game’s most iconic characters, and over the
course of the series we will see how the past, present, and future of all of
those characters are intertwined, as the battle to become Ansatsuken Master
threatens to tear apart another generation of brothers.
“This series was meant for Machinima,” said Allen
DeBevoise, Chairman, Co-Founder and CEO of Machinima. “We have successfully
launched popular game-inspired web series in the past, and Street Fighter is
about as iconic as they come. We couldn’t be more excited about working with
the incredible production team behind the series and the folks over at Capcom
to launch not only a compelling and action-packed series in its own right, but
also one that stays true to the Street Fighter lore.” DeBevoise continued, “After
the success of Mortal Kombat: Legacy 2, we will once again provide all of the
episodes on the day of launch to our fans to ensure they get exactly what they
want—the entire series from start to finish!”
“We can’t wait for our fans to get the opportunity to
experience Street Fighter: Assassin’s Fist,” said Matt Dahlgren, Senior Product
Manager at Capcom. “Working with filmmakers who are so passionate about the
brand was an extremely rewarding process and we couldn’t be more pleased with
the results. Their work embodies the heart and soul of what Street Fighter is
and we’re thrilled that Machinima will be able to deliver the epic series to
those who care about the celebrated franchise as much as we do.”
Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist is Machinima’s latest
live-action series based on one of the world’s best-selling video game
franchises, and is one which will very much stay true to the game, featuring
fight moves and action performed by the cast with stunning attention to detail.
It follows on the heels of last year’s highly successful airing of Mortal
Kombat: Legacy 2, the successor to, Mortal Kombat: Legacy, as well as Halo 4:
Forward Unto Dawn. Combined, the three series have garnered more than
130,000,000 views on Machinima.
A thrilling, multilayered series, Street Fighter:
Assassin's Fist takes the audience back to the formative years of iconic
characters Ryu and Ken as they live a traditional warrior’s life in secluded
Japan. The boys are, unknowingly, the last practitioners of the ancient fighting
style known as “Ansatsuken” (Assassin’s Fist). The series follows them as they
learn about the mysterious past of their master, Gōken, and the tragic, dark
legacy of the Ansatsuken style. Can their destiny be changed, or will history
repeat itself?
“Street Fighter: Assassin's Fist is what a live-action
Street Fighter should be,” said Ansah when he announced the project at last
year’s San Diego Comic-Con. “This takes the story right back to the start: the
origins and motivations of Ryu, Ken, Gōken and Akuma. This will become the
definitive back-story from which further epic adventures will follow.”
“Our priority is to stay true to the appearance,
fighting techniques, and canon of the Street Fighter game,” Quella added. “At
the same time, we’ve managed to make this an emotion- and character-driven
story, which will surprise viewers who might just be expecting a super-faithful
fight fest!”
The series is produced by Assassin’s Fist Limited (a
UK based company) in association with Lonely Rock Productions, Gloucester Place
Films, Capcom U.S.A., Inc. and Evropa Film.
