Street Fighter movie is 'made by fans for fans' - but can it KO the critics?8 hours agoAbu Bakar YasinBBC NewsbeatParamount PicturesNoah Centineo and Andrew Koji play Ken Masters and Ryu in Street FighterVideo game fans have been treated to a two-hit combo of big screen adaptations recently. First came Resident Evil, director Zach Cregger's movie version of the long-running horror game series. The next contender is Street Fighter, the arcade classic fighting game that's been separating fans from their loose change since 1987. Both have been turned into disappointing live-action films before. But Cregger's attempt at Resident Evil, which impressed both critics and fans, seemed to break the curse. BBC Newsbeat spoke to Street Fighter cast members Noah Centineo, Callina Liang and Andrew Koji to find out why they think the action movie can do the same. The film, directed by Kitao Sakurai, follows Ken Masters, played by Centineo, and Ryu, played by Koji.

What Happened To The Cast Of The Original A Different World? - TVLine
"A Different World" was supposed to be a spin-off of "The Cosby Show," but life, and star Lisa Bonet, had other plans. It was meant to be a sitcom about Denise Huxtable's (Bonet) experience attending an HBCU and dealing with issues the family-friendly "The Cosby Show" wouldn't touch. The same year the show started, Bonet and Lenny Kravitz went to Las Vegas and got married; a year later, she was pregnant. Executive producer Bill Cosby, then perceived as a paragon of family values, insisted that Denise couldn't be a single mom. Bonet left after a single season, in one of the 15 most controversial TV exits ever, just as Debbie Allen was brought on as a new producer to make the Black college setting more accurate, and the show more ensemble-based. Spoiled Southern belle Whitley (Jasmine Guy), who had been more of an antagonist in season 1, became the new primary protagonist and mellowed throughout the remaining five seasons. "A Different World" ultimately became one of the best spinoff shows ever.
