Tekken film poster pops up News

PC PlayStation 2 PSP DS Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 Wii
News by Robert Purchese

1 November, 2007

The first poster for the Tekken film has appeared online.

It was unearthed on film site Comingsoon.net, and depicts a great bit "T" with a fancy poem underneath.

  • After the Great Terror Wars, governments fell...
  • Seven corporations rose from the ashes to rule all men...
  • Together they were known as The Iron Fist...
  • The mightiest of which was...
  • Tekken

Apparently the story is based around two childhood friends who just happen to be really good at fighting so they enter a martial arts tournament and begin to unravel the mysterious secret of Tekken Corp.

It is the first we have heard on the film since Japanese film makers Gaga Communications told us it would be built on a strong script rather than CG tomfoolery back in 2003.

Comingsoon.net also unpacked its news basket to reveal that the Onimusha movie film by Silent Hill director Christophe Gans will begin filming next April.

hope they get the original japanese actor who played the guy in the first onimusha, can't remember his name, he also came back for the 3rd one with jean reno, or they will turn it into americanised crap.

So, who reckons this will be another videogame movie that completely ignores the plot of the actual game it's based on and instead comes up with it's own interpretation, which manages to be even weaker (and the plot of fighting games is usually incredibly weak to start with)?

Still, can't be worse than Dead or Alive, can it?

@ kingnothing12

I think its Takeshi Kaneshiro (not sure if I spelt it right!) he starred in House of the flying daggers as well.

I definitely think it would cool film, but it will end up some nonsensical crap.

.::: Dear lord...
Did the scriptwriters even know what it was based upon?

[edit] Or did they even look up what Tekken means, to start with?

They should try and film it like Beowulf with the look of the characters over the actors. That way the motion will look better than CG animation.

So, it's good they're sticking closely to the original material. Anyways i guess that didn't spoil my enjoyment of the DOA movie too much- not like the story is the main cool bit of fighting games.
If they get some of the characters "right" and the some of the fight scenes are awesome it'll be cool.

Oh lord, this is one of those cases where you can say that a movie is going to suck, just based on the poster.

I think this poster would make more sense if it had a huge LOLcats "FAIL" beneath it.

The small bit of Street Fighter of City Hunter was better that the entire Street Fighter movie.

Jackie Chan made a fine Chun Li.

So will there actually be any accomplished martial artists starring in this flick? Or will it be another terrible roster of Actors like DOA's cast, which I think had one guy in it who could actually do the fight scenes without looking like a joke. (Seraph from the Matrix flicks I believe)

Oh come on, that's not really saying a lot really though is it. Even
this is better than the SF movie.
