I know I have mentioned this before on a CBM article but There is a KOF movie which is due out in 2010. The movie is being directed by Gordon Chan, the screenplay was written by Rita Augustine and Matthew Ryan Fischer.

The cast is as follows............


David Leitch as Terry Bogard

David is primarily a Stunt double/ Coordinator he has doubled for Brad Pitt and Van Damme on many occasions, David is currently doing stunts for Tron 2.0


Maggie Q as Mai

Most of you should know Q from Live free die hard and Need for speed Undercover, she is currently filming The Warrior and the Wolf.


Sean Faris as Kyo

Image and video hosting by TinyPic


Sean was in Pearl Harbor, and an episode of Smallville as Byron Moore in 2002, he was also in Boston Public and one tree hill for one episode each.


Monique Ganderton as Mature

Monique is also a stunt double she has been in films such as X-men: the last stand, Underworld Evolution, Fantastic Four 2, she has also been on Smallville and Battle star Galatica as a stunt double. Monique is currently stunting in Tron 2.0

Will Yun Lee and Iori

Most of you will most likely recognize Lee from Elektra as Kirigi, but he has also been in CSI, Hustle, Bionic Women, Torque, and he played as Sarah's partner Det. Danny Woo in the Witchblade t.v series.

Bernice Liu as Vice

Image and video hosting by TinyPic


KOF will be Liu's first Hollywood film she is primarly in Asian cinema. Liu has been in (English titles) Love Bond, Healing Hands III, and The Brink of Law, to name a few.

Ray Park as Rugal

Image and video hosting by TinyPic


Now I know you all know Mr. Park he has been Darth Maul, Toad, and is now going to be Snake eyes... but some may not know that he was the body of the headless horseman in Sleepy Hallow (1999) and he was also Raptor #3 and Baraka #2 in Mortal Kombat Annihilation, he also had a cameo in Fanboys as a THX guard

Françoise Yip as Chizuru

Image and video hosting by TinyPic


Yip has been in quite a few T.V series, starting with Robocop: Prime Directives, later on she was on Jeremiah, Smallville, Andromeda, and Blood Ties. Yip has also been in a few films such as Blade: Trinity, Alone in the Dark, and AVP:R

Sam Hargrave as Ryo

Image and video hosting by TinyPic


Sam is a stunt double as well, you would have seen in Pirates of the Caribbean 3, Dexter, Transformers, Numb3ers, Moonlight, (if any of you ever watched it...only lasted a season) Scrubs, Heroes, Street Fighter: Legend of Chun Li, and Dollhouse.


I'm looking forward to this but I have low expectations very rarely does a Video Game movie live up to what the games were especially one based on a fighting game I really don't want to see another Street Fighter, I would like to see something as monumental as MK 1..... any thoughts on this?



*Edit* found the synopsis for the movie: found this on Wikipedia.

"The King of Fighters movie will introduce a new science fiction spin into the setting established in the games’ universe by following the surviving members of three legendary fighting clans who are continually whisked away to other dimensions by an evil power," says insider blog Movieset.

"As the fighters enter each new world they battle that universe’s native defenders, while the force that brought them seeks to find a way to invade and infect our world."

Very cool!!!

An very cool pics @ Osiris!!! I like the sound of this movie, a lot! ; )

Great article!

Yeah more in the league of MK 1 , i wouldn't worry about Street Fighter, lets hope it isn't Dragonball quality, that movie was the worst of the worst, its not even worthy of a rotten tomato!
Osiris
Osiris - 7/18/2009, 3:18 PM
thanks LEEE it was my first..... so that means you were my first ;)

That's so true about Dragon ball... I found a Synopsis of the movie and added it to the article as well

0siris @ Im honored! ; )

Very nice first by the way, hope ya enjoying it, cool Synopsis!

I think when they make this they will have Dragonball and Street fighter in the back of their minds! Hey ive heard there's gonna be another MK too! An its changed from Remake (Thank god) to sequel.
Osiris
Osiris - 7/18/2009, 3:37 PM
oh sweet I hadn't heard that yet... last i knew it was a remake, I am so glad they are going the sequel route, yeah the movies are decently old but they can pull of a sequel and still bring in new fans plus who hasn't seen the original come on.
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 7/18/2009, 3:50 PM
I dunno if its 100 % sure but that's what ive heard 0siris!

Funny ive just bought D.O.A on dvd, ive got it already ages ago, but lost it lol, an it was a bargain and i kinda like that one!

Oh by the way i Pimped your article in Brent's TREK one lol, yes i have no shame heh heh.

superdog
superdog - 7/18/2009, 5:37 PM
so the entire cast are basically stunt doubles? so im guesseing not much dialogue in this but lots of fight scenes?
SupahPhreak
SupahPhreak - 7/18/2009, 5:39 PM
Is it just me or does Sean Faris look exactly like Sam Hargrave.
Osiris
Osiris - 7/18/2009, 6:04 PM
@Superdog@ Yeah they are, when I was looking everyone up I was like WTF why are so many of them stunt doubles....but maybe they aren't main characters, they are prob just there for the fight scenes... besides too many main characters can ruin a movie...... MK 1 was the only movie I can think of that has done it well, DOA did decently, I think with a bigger budget it could have been better.


@SupahPhreak@ yeah they do look a lot alike I had a fun time not confusing them when linking those pictures together.

Hellmont - 7/18/2009, 6:08 PM
So Mai is gonna be really flat.........nice one...that was part of the appeal of the character her boobs would sway with each move........and with the actress who will be portraying Mai there will be no boobs swaying.... lame.
Osiris
Osiris - 7/18/2009, 6:58 PM
they already have the parts grif this movie is in post-production

I have to agree with Hellmount Maggie Q needs some bigger boobs to fill Mai's shirt with..... she is a good actress though

Shawlong23 - 7/19/2009, 12:28 AM
What? Nobody else is bother by the fact that they got a caucasian guy to played as a Japanese character(Kyo)? Do you people think it's okay that they're doing this? Serious question btw. They can't even find one asian actor to fill in the intended role? That's sad. What a slap in the face.

@teabag@ so you want an all male cast then... because the guys outweigh the girls in this film, but oh man are the women hot
Osiris
Osiris - 7/19/2009, 11:56 AM
lmao

thegreek - 7/20/2009, 4:02 PM
The women are super hot... ;-)

I am actually interested now... Because i have played the game and have seen the Fatal Fury anime movies which were pretty good ...

A "science fiction spin"?? Sigh, I just don't know about that. Regardless, this could be a fun rental for a booze-infused night in front of the tv. Maybe this will be one of those movies where they can go soooo far over the top that it ends up being really fun, like Kitamura's Versus. Here's hoping!

Ray Park for Rugal is the worst casting ever. I mean come on. AND WHERE THE [frick] IS ANDY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 7/21/2009, 12:01 PM
Hey RAY PARK is the man!!!

DARTH MAUL

TOAD (um ok lol)

SNAKE EYES!!! YAY!

Gotta be IRON FIST! ; )
Shaman
Shaman - 7/21/2009, 12:39 PM
He sucked ass as Toad, It wasn't his real voice as Darth Maul and Snake eyes doesn't speak. NO HE CAN'T BE IRONFIST!!! NOR RUGAL FOR THAT MATTER!!!!
Osiris
Osiris - 7/21/2009, 12:41 PM
@Shaman@ I've been waiting for your reaction to this and the fact that there is no Andy...lol
Shaman
Shaman - 7/21/2009, 1:01 PM
Yeah this is a [frick]ing travesty!!! How are ya gonna put Kyo in there without the original duo of Terry and Andy. Why not start with the freakin ORIGINS huh??? And where the [frick] is Joe???
Osiris
Osiris - 7/21/2009, 1:10 PM
I think you just need a Fatal Fury movie there shaman, Terry... Andy... and Joe are all FF..lol if they did do it just for continuity reasons they should keep the same actors for Mai and Terry from this film.
Shaman
Shaman - 7/21/2009, 1:38 PM
True, but FF DID come before KOF in fact, it's the tournament's origin as well. If they plan Andy for a sequel, i wouldn't bitch much. They weren't always fighting "together" in the beggining. They've went they're separate ways more often than none. But we do need to see him at some point. Terry's youth is a big part of his life and can't be done without Andy. Not interestingly anyways. Oh and Geese has always been the best villain IMO. I would have loved for them to stick with the order of things. Geese, Krauser and then Rugal. Rock could come into play in the third. But now, no Geese, no Rock :((
Osiris
Osiris - 7/21/2009, 2:18 PM
Krauser was awesome, Geese was pretty sweet too. maybe Andy is in it just not in the tournament he could be a side character they just aren't mentioning at this time, kinda like Jax in the first Mortal Kombat and then make him a main in the second. (if there is one)
Shaman
Shaman - 7/22/2009, 8:29 AM
Yeah Osiris, i'd go for that.
