Screen NSW and Legendary Pictures are pleased to announce that production is underway in Sydney on the upcoming action-packed feature film Street Fighter.
This is the latest large-scale screen project to call NSW home, with production set to create 317 local jobs (24 cast and 293 crew) and generate an estimated $80 million in expenditure across the state.
Based on the hit Capcom video game Street Fighter, the film is scheduled to wrap in late October with shooting on location across Sydney and at Moore Park’s Disney Studios Australia.
The film is being directed by Kitao Sakurai (Bad Trip) and the cast features Noah Centineo, Andrew Koji, Callina Liang, Jason Momoa, Joe “Roman Reigns” Anoai, Cody Rhodes, Eric André, and Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson.
Along with world class cast, crews, locations and studios, part of the attraction to filming in Sydney is support of Screen NSW’s Made in NSW Fund, which is designed to advance NSW as a destination for international and local feature films and major television drama programs.
Street Fighter joins other big-budget screen projects which have recently been in production in NSW including Amazon MGM Studio’s Play Dirty, starring Mark Wahlberg and LaKeith Stanfield, Disney+’s Australian Original series The Artful Dodger, and Netflix’s Apex, starring Charlize Theron, Taron Edgerton and Eric Bana.
