A Street Fighter star wants a role in Blumhouse and Atomic Monster’s upcoming Dead by Daylight movie. Callina Liang, who plays Chun-Li in Kitao Sakurai’s recent film, is already a longtime fan of the horror game.
Speaking with Variety, Liang said, “Someone on the creative team DM’d me and was like, ‘Look at what we’re doing; we’re playing the game in the office for research.’ I’m like, ‘Guys, just call me. I can tell you everything you need to know about this game. You don’t have to play it to find out.'”
Liang also revealed having spent over 100 hours in the last two months playing Dead by Daylight. Although she described the game as “scary and gory,” the actress found it “funny” considering everyone chases her during the play.
