Story
_____________________________
Jin Kazama is a young and talented fighter with a dark energy within him. The Devil Gene he has inherited from his father, Kazuya Mishima, is slowly tearing him apart and consuming his mind with evil and hate. He now realizes that the only way he can save himself is to not only confront his father, but his grandfather, Heihachi Mishima, as well. Both Kazuya and Heihachi have their own agendas for what they want with Jin's power. It's coming to a head at The King of Iron Fist Tournament: a fighting tournament sponsored by Heihachi where the winner will receive 1 billion dollars, ownership of Heihachi's company, and be crowned the greatest fighter on Earth.

John Foo actually knows how to fight.

I've seen him in a couple of other movies as well.

I might go watch this one.
LucasBunny
Another craptacular movie in the works

BBOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

ph34r.gif ph34r.gif ph34r.gif ph34r.gif

I honestly think this movie despite the amount of good martial artists that fit their characters
is gonna be asstastic, but I guess with crap like "Legend of Chun li" and "Dragonball" coming out that's gonna suck even more it's gonna make Tekken look good so it might do well.
Oh yeah John Foo is really really really really attractive btw
and so is Darrin Henson

but I dun watch movies just for eye candy, I am really angry at the Christie Monteiro casting
WTF WTF??? Beyonce should have played her if you ask me.

Well look at the brightside, atleast soompiers won't be crying this time because Kazuya/Jin/Heihachi are being played by asians....well half asians minus Cary "YOUR SOUL IS MINE!" Tagawa

oh yeah and poster is really horrible
I thought it was a joke the first time I saw it.
step-on-me
LOL isn't Marshall Law supposed to be...older??
Bronwen
LOL. The actress who plays Piper from Charmed is Michelle Chang! XD Oh man, the cast here is interesting and slightly better than the other game-turned-movies that's coming up...I actually recognize some of the actors/actresses here and at least most of their physical features slightly fit their game counterparts. biggrin.gif

BUT where's Hwoarang? You can't have Tekken without Hwoarang! Or Lei Wulong...there's actually a lot...but I guess you can't fit all of them in...
d' airscapez.
Not too familiar with the casting, but lets just have hopes It doesn't become a major flop like the other gaming/anime turned live Action movies...
wait why am I hoping? of course It's going to fail sleep.gif"

Cowboy Bebop, Death Note, hahahahaha other threads...

If they just happen to do Marvel vs Capcom..... I'd be interested actually, lol.
JING-JING
^
^ I know right?


I think I might want to watch this one.
EnchantmeXO
what about Hwoarang his rival??
i didnt see his name on there?
diru
I'll watch this for the martial arts cause the Tekken series has always been one of the closest in terms of real life martial arts and cause Tekken is probably my favourite fighting game. Chiaki Kuriyama as my favourite, Xiaoyu. Niceeeeeeee. (H)

Wow

now that would be crazy lol
but they would have to get a crazy cast to back up Capcom
Amanda Plz
Piper from Charmed as Michelle ._________.?

I'll be staring at her crazy eyebrows the whole movie laugh.gif.
shortboy
I'm mainly looking forward to Lateef Crowder as Eddy because that guy is literally..Eddy Gordo..

Watch..
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDBnkf-hSjk

He was also the guy that did capoiera in the fire fight against Tony Jaa in Ong Bak.
diru
^ Yeah, the makers drew inspiration from Eddy Gordo, hence hiring him for that awesome fire scene.

Nathan Jones and Lateef Crowder were the only real good castings I guess. I like how they use a lot of unknowns though.
shooting_stars
Is this for real? I thought the idea was scrapped up. Great, now they're totally going to taint my favorite video game of all time. Oh, geez. As stupid as this movie looks already, I know I'm going to watch it. laugh.gif

What the hell is Holly Marie Combs doing in a movie like this? blink.gif (Guess I'm just too used to Piper, lol.) I like how they included Dragonov and other recent characters but not Hwoarang. And who the hell is Kara and Sapphire? Last I remember, there were no characters with those names.
diru
It'd be cool though if these "Kara" and "Sapphire" were made into actual Tekken characters in the game later on, like how X-Men vs Street Fighter incorporated Charlie after the original Street Fighter movie. tongue.gif

I found promotional shots of Bryan Fury fighting I think Jin, but I can't seem to find them anymore. :S I only remember that the guy doing Bryan was WAY to skinny to be a buff cyborg maniac. biggrin.gif
hawaiingkid
stocked.........dragon ball z........chun li movie ehehehehehe ty for the info
pinkxstrawberry
is that the final cast?....and is that the actual movie poster?! crazy.gif

Yeah everyone is going ballastic over Lateef Crowder playing Eddy
daisie
nothing will ease my pain over the lack of hwoarang. ;_______;

he's been my fave since he showed up in the series. i'm interested in how they're going to pull off yoshimitsu though. smile.gif
LucasBunny
Yeah I was pretty sad Hwoarang wasnt in it because I think he is 1000X better (and hotter) than Jin lol
(Bi for Hwaorang!!! w00t.gif w00t.gif w00t.gif )

but if this rocks then maybe he'll be in the sequel
diru
I'll laugh if they include juggling and bounds into the movie. Hahaha. XD
melonaa
'-' i've been waiting for this movie for FOREVER
yayyyyy ! x)
-ohdarn-
I loved all the Tekken games... But I'm not sure about this movie yet... I'd have to say it's going to be hard to get good reviews for this movie.
LazyAzian
Wow! I actually am exicted for this one, the one I'd watch out of the two other, fail, movies.

Chiaki Kuriyama is Go Go Yubari (that school girl with that chain ball) from Kill Bill, can't wait to see her in this one ~~

Chiaki will be playing Xiayu, I can't wait xD.

Check this scene out from Kill Bill:

Nightmare
Never much a Tekken fan, but this movie might not be as bad as the other adaptions due to the realism. Gotta watch it for the actions.

Actually the Japanese already made a Sailor Moon live action series. It was very similar to the first season of power rangers
shooting_stars
I really hope Namco or something releases a CGI film instead like Final Fantasy. CGI always looks better than live action anyway, in my opinion. I mean, how are they going to do Heihachi's hair in this movie? And who, or what is going to play Yoshimitsu, or Toshin, or any of the other crazy beasts from the game? Plus, if they do a CGI, I think the movie would relate to the game more...sad.gif I just don't want this movie to turn out like crap, honestly.
bbei23
whyyyyyyyyyyyy...........
dnt ruin the game for meeeeee T_T

I was just about to say that...I watched it too...and...I...actually....liked it... :RUNS!!!!!:
Kenstr
Sigh, another attempt on recreating a live action film that will most likely turn into crap and ruin their true images. It's a real shame... But eh.
Taeho!

hungrycollegeboy
In my opinion, Law should of been this guy:

diru
Ahh yes, these were the pictures!

LOL, at unintimidating scrawny Bryan Fury.

Tekken 6 Bloodline Rebellion just came out in my area. Anyone played it yet?
angelixer
Most of them are pretty spoton, but the Christie Monteiro casting is a mess. Can't wait to see Eddy.
LK.

oh no o0; ..

hopefully it'll be okay?
not like the DOA movie o0; HAHA
Solly
JOHN FOO IS HOT!

at least he's half chinese which means
