“Street Fighter Movie Director Kitao Sakurai Explains 'Gonzo' Approach, Cameo From Original” — what this page in the network covers. Kitao Sakurai, director of the new Street Fighter movie, says he intentionally embraced a 'gonzo' style of over-the-top action and absurd humor instead of a gritty, grounded take on the iconic video game franchise. The director also revealed he personally invited the film's original directors, the Philippou brothers, to appear in a cameo as two people fighting in the street, to show 'there's no bad blood' after their departure from the project. 'There was no animosity, and it's all love,' Sakurai said.
The movie, which hit theaters on October 16, has grossed more than $55 million worldwide—a modest start for the big-budget adaptation. It stars Noah Centineo as Ken, Callina Liang as Chun-Li, Andrew Koji as Ryu, Jason Momoa as Blanka, Cody Rhodes as Guile, Roman Reigns as Akuma, and David Dastmalchian as M.
