Hyde Park Entertainment and Capcom Ltd. are trying again at doing a film version of the popular video game franchise "Street Fighter" reports Variety.

Scribe Justin Marks ("Voltran") has been picked to pen the script for the film which is aiming for a 2008 release.

The date will coincide with the 20th anniversary of the game franchise which has sold over 25 million console games and 500,000 arcade units.

The new film will focus on the game's most popular female fighter, Chun Li, but the exact storyline is being kept under wraps.

Universal previously released a critically panned $35 million film based on the games back in 1994 starring the likes of Jean Claude Van Damme, Raul Julia, Ming-Na, Wes Studi and Kylie Minogue.
