Director Kevin Tancharoen has begun with re-visioning the bloody classic with a more human approach. Some may cry foul and bloody murder to his new approach to beloved  world and characters; such as Reptile, Shang Tsung, and the gorgeous Sonya Blade, who’s played by the ever so stunning Jeri Ryan.

Mind you this is a mere pitch to sell his vision to the big wigs at Warner Bros. We may here something in the near future, besides the new game, for now view it and savor it in all its bloody goodness.

“Another one?” you may be asking yourself. Well yes and there’s a scientific explanation behind it, one I’ll butcher beyond definition.

You see, scientists have this theory where the human mind is somehow in sync with the rest of the world in some grand network. When one person thinks of something clever, possibly revolutionizing this world, some one else across the world has the same idea. The name of said phenomenon escapes me at the moment but I assure you its scientific.

In this case a small crew from Thousand Pounds Studios, lead by Chris Cowan, filmed its own take of the Street Fighter universe. With only a 400 dollar budget, a Canon EoOS 7D camera, and the dark magic of Adobe After Effects and Final Cut Pro, they made science entertaining.

Think of this as one of those chaser shots you take, just before you get to the serious drinking that makes your head explode. Its all in the name of science…. so go on now, view it.

I know, I know, some of you blokes are have rolled your eyes more than the earth around the sun. But this time one must worried, for  it has Tom Cruise… well more like Sylaresque Ken Masters.

Anyhow, back to the movie. The short film is being produced by StreetLight Films and  Joey Ansah, co-directing; Ansah, some may recall, played sly CIA supper-assassin “Desh” in The Bourne Ultimatum.

Ansah is calling his attempt a “beautiful lil’ film that hopefully non fans will really appreciate…and the people who deserve it most…the fans,” set in a “darker toned and more adult themed” film, by capturing “the brilliance of the game” while staying “as faithful as possible down to the smallest details of the costume, the choreography, the narrative, the original music themes and of course the special moves!”

Yeah, we’ve heard that all before, too. But this does have blessings from Capcom and crew for their dedication, and hell, the film’s director, Owen Trevor, directs my favorite show, Top Gear. Then theres Anthony Wayne, who’s produced the last eleven Bond films, so maybe there’s hope after all. Christian Howard, the co-writer/storyboarder/choreographer, will rightfully play Ken.

Give the two teaser trailers a gander, those sixty seconds alone are better then the last two attempts in live action.

The short will be released Thursday, June 6, 2010.
