Tekken: Upcoming fight flick, round 2

Posted Dec 21, 2006 at 12:21AM by QJ Staff Listed in: PS3, PSP Tags: Shadow Motion Pictures, Tekken

For Tekken fans who are pissed excited about the prospect of the Tekken live-action movie, this ain't news on it. With that little detail roundhouse kicked out of the way, we're letting you know about the other film being produced by Shadow Motion Pictures, and will be directed by R. L. Scott (nope, not Ridley Scott).

Titled Tekken: King of Iron Fist, this short film will be taking place shortly after Jin Kazama's ending, where after defeating Jinpachi, he now has control of the Mishima Zaibatsu. Unfortunately for Jin, he's also inherited the Zaibatsu's recurring problem - Super Soldier/Pyschopatch/Van-Damme Lookalike Brian Fury. And since this is a flick on a fighting game, the short film's promised to be a long, brutal slugfest between these two bad boys.

Expect to see the film to come out in a few months. But for now, Mr. Scott's sending out these promo pics to give the fans a teaser of what's to come.

Last note: We're not sure if it's just us...but doesn't Brian Fury look a bit too young here? If anybody can tell us who's playing who in these pics, we'll be grateful.

What's with the skinny guys flexing like there's no tomorrow? I've never seen more forced muscle in my life.

# >_ — Guest 2006-12-20 21:10

This is looking so bad

# Bad very bad — Guest 2006-12-20 21:46

I dont like the guys at all no similarity at all, I mean Jin should be looking more japanese not just random guy from US same goes with Bryan

# actors — Guest 2006-12-20 23:11

# YOUR LIFE SUKS — Guest 2006-12-21 01:09

This is a big WTF we are both big tekken fans and we are both disgusted.......XD i hope this guy/panzie never makes another tekkken movie the ANIMATION looks better!!!!!!!!!

# live action? — Guest 2006-12-21 01:38

They should have gone all CG, why live action. And i believe with the CG charaters the visual effects, combos, settings and movements can be alot true to the game.

# Wow.... — Guest 2006-12-21 01:58

They look nothing like Jin or Bryan. And like you guys said Jin definately needs to look more Japanese. If these guys play in the movie I can already say it will suck. Maybe making a short fill in CG like the ending videos in the game would be better? Hell yes it would be better.

# Wow.... — Guest 2006-12-21 02:00

# lol — Guest 2006-12-21 03:50

***** YEA TEKKEN

# lol — doggmatic 2006-12-21 05:02

lol Ron perma doesn't look like Bryan fury.. ron perma looks like Ricky Bobby on crack...

# WHY — Guest 2006-12-21 05:36

Do they ALWAYS insist on using White dudes to play Asian guys? I bet they'd cast a White man as Zack in DOA if they knew they could get away with it.

And I agree, CG should be how they make all videogame movies. Didn't they learn anything from Advent Children? And it's not like it's THAT hard to make a CG movie; they come out with a new one every other week. Disney/Pixar has a hit every two years or so, Dreamworks and other random studios too.

If they can pump out stuff like CRAPPY Feet, Over the Hedge, Doogal, Ant Bully, Incredibles, Shrek, etc, they can put out one or two good game movies. Movies based on nothing or based on books are fine for live actors because there is no previous picture of the characters.

But when it's based on a game or anime, everyone has grown accustomed to how those characters look, sound, move and behave. Get the same voice actors to do the voice-overs and use CG for the actual movie.

I really don't understand why they don't see how well game films have done in the past and how well CG films are doing now.

# O.o — Guest 2006-12-21 06:04

Sweet but theres also a Dead or Alive movie coming out as well ^^ (but it looks likes Chalies Angels) T_T

# @reneid klein — Guest 2006-12-21 06:07

He's obviously not white.

# @reneid klein — Guest 2006-12-21 06:07

He's obviously not white.

# AHAHAHAH — Guest 2006-12-21 08:32

AHAHAHAAH these fools look like *****gots

# .... — TekDekDude 2006-12-21 09:15

Happy Feet was a good movie.

# Bah — Guest 2006-12-21 10:47

Judging by the trailers it will be NOTHING like the game. It hurt my soul watching the trailer.

# What's that got to do with it? — Guest 2006-12-21 11:04

Even if I was white and they had white actors playing people of different races I'd be mad. How would you like it if they made a Street Fighter Movie with this cast:

Ken - Denzel Washington

Chun-Li - Beyonce

Zangief - Jack Black

Dhalsim - Jet Li

E Honda - Bruce Bruce

What color I am has nothing to do with the fact that I don't want people making movies with out of character characters. I don't want a fat actor playing a person who was skinny in the original game, I don't want an old person playing a young character, a black playing a white and so on.

You may be fine with that kind of crap but I'm not. What's the point of calling it by the same name if you're changing things about it? It's not Tekken because Jin isn't white in the game.

I understand if he was a friggan swamp monster or something in the game and they got a guy to dress up in a suit. But if a person is a certain race, why change that? There are plenty of Asian actors.

Somebody shoot the damn Casting Director.

# no matter — Guest 2006-12-22 12:33

i agree that they don't look like the tekken characters.

I WANT MEL GIBSON FOR THE OLD MAX PAYNE!!!! would be perfect
