Games developer Capcom have announced that they are working on a new feature length anime based on the upcoming 'Street Fighter IV' video game. Studio 4°C ('Tekkonkinkreet', 'Genius Party') are producing the movie which was trailered at the recent Toyko Game Show.
The film is set to run around 50 to 60 minutes and will be tied in with the game's release in an as-yet undecided way (presumably as a bonus DVD). The artists are the same members of Studio 4°C who worked on the promotional clips, including Koji Morimoto ('Animatrix') as supervisor, Jirou Kanai ('Steamboy') as director, Akiko Saito ('Spriggan') as CGI director, and Katsumi Matsuda ('Spriggan', 'Steamboy') as character designer.
'Street Fighter IV' is due for release on Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 in 2009 and can be preordered now from Amazon.co.uk.
