Videogame movies don’t have a good reputation.
And with these casting choices, we’re really not surprised…
Without further ado, let the cavalcade of casting catastrophe begin.
Christian Slater in Alone In The Dark (2005)
Christian Slater is a cheeky, weasel faced trickster.
What he is not is a serious paranormal detective with a name like Carnby.
Slater does brooding about as well as Uwe Boll does good film.
Which is not very well at all.
Slater looks like a man desperately trying to find a way out.
Hes a wise cracking action hero.
He needs something to punch, not a mystery to unravel and ghosts to run away from.

Tough and resilient, she spends most of her time searching for her elder brother Chris.

Claire deserves her own film, Larter deserves a swift slide down the Hollywood pecking order.
Is he from Ireland?
Is he from America?
Is he from Sheffield?
Is he from a combination of all three with a Jamaican twist?
Mercifully, for Mr Bean and for us, hes not in it for very long.
The worst of a bad bunch has to be Kreuk as Chun Li.
To be out acted by Kris Klein really is an achievement, but Ms Kreuk manages it here admirably.
And dont get me started on the metaphorical Angels.
This time, Til Schweiger, a German character actor, gets to portray American mercenary/poor sailor Jack Carver.
Long story short, hes a bad ass.
Hoskins cant help but struggle with the awful script he has to work with.
you’re free to almost see the will to live slowly slipping away as the films goes on.
The entire cast of Streetfighter (1994)
Oh where to begin?
This whole list could quite easily be populated withStreetfighters casting mistakes.
Hardly a fitting epitaph for a man of his talents.
