What a Street Fighter adaptation should be like

Just in case you guys haven't seen this yet I thought that I'd post this awesome Capcom Approved Street Fighter short directed by Joey Ansah and starring Jon Foo as Ryu.

Also read this interview hear for some cool info: http://www.gamepro.com/article/features/215148/street-fighter-legacy/

Now,I must say that it makes me laugh how a relatively small budget short-film can put 2 big-budget hollywood adaptations to shame and it shows how many moron work in hollywood as well as how easy it is to do a Street Fighter film. I'm alsoi glad to have this due to SF:LOCL shortening the possibilities of a Street Fighter Film being taken seriously on the big screen anytime soon.

So what do you guys think?Wouldn't it be cool if Capcom gave the guys behind this freedom to do a big-budget Street Fighter film?

^ I actually believe what you're saying but I hope that Film companies don't see the source material as not being commercial just because of the last two epic fails that came out. But I think that if you gave the public enough time to forget Legend of Chun-Li and these guys made a new one about Ryu people would go see it and it would make money.

Remember the Punisher has had 3 non correlated adaptations throughout the years but sadly they failed all 3 times but SF has two strikes and I think it deserves one more shot but Theater or DVD release I would support it if it was made by these guys.
