First Tekken movie teaser poster - Image 1News about the movie adaptation of the successful video game franchise Tekken from Namco Bandai are not entirely new. However, this next one is the most concrete so far with film website ComingSoon hosting the first teaser poster for the film.

Aside from that, ComingSoon was also able to get hold of some details regarding its development. Contrary to initial reports, ComingSoon stated that the Tekken movie isn't going to be directed by Anaconda's Dwight Little but by Charles Stone III - mostly known for movies Drumline, True, Mr. 3000, and Paid in Full.

We checked around the Internet and we found out as well that Little will be the director while Stone III is going to be part of the writing team. Well, the point is the two are very much involved in the making of the Tekken movie.

Speaking of development, it was mentioned that Sony Pictures' Screen Gems will be the one distributing the film. Moving on to the film itself, it is said to center on two childhood friends who entered the worldwide martial arts tournament where they will discover the dark secrets of the Tekken Corporation.

In case you are wondering, the the quotation that can be found at the top of the poster reads: "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."

Those movies that are listed are bunk. I am worried this Tekken movie will flop. I hope people that really know and played the games are creating the movie.

They can never be 100% correct, because dates change all the time. And that inconsistency can never make them 100% right.
