First images of upcoming Tekken movie released

Posted on May 21st, 2008 at 02:12 EDT

Why do we get the feeling this movie is probably going to suck? Oh, I know, maybe because the first released images of the Tekken film look anything but promising.

According to IMDB.com, MMA star Cung Le has been casted to play Tekken veteran Marshall Law. The first image of him in costume has been posted on his myspace page, which you can view below. Also, additional images have been released by Tekken Corp, including the first look at Jin Kazama. You can view the entire gallery here.

Back in early January, Killzone 2 was in the top five of our most anticipated PS3 exclusives of 2008 list. That no longer makes sense. As you surely know, Killzone 2 has ...

Wa, wa, wa, wa, wait . Hold up. Is this gonna be a big theatrical movie release? Cause from the looks of this, a straight-to-DVD (or other optical media) movie is in production. I can't imagin a "big screen" Tekken movie with real people. It's just not working. To me, it feels like making a DBZ (my favorite anime [or cartoon or what ever you want to call it] of all time) live action movie. It's just not gonna work. Period.

Yea this does look pretty sucky and it could have been really good.  The key is getting convincing actors to play the characters; Angenlina Jolie was great as Lara Croft, but Van damn sucked as Guile. These actors also look like they will suck.

Chances are, the movie will be bad...as per-usual.

And I can't help thinking that the actors above are playing the other guy's role. I mean the guy playing Lee looks more as if he should be playing Jin & vice-versa.

 

The worst thing about these martial arts games turn movies is that they either get good actors who cannot display martial arts to save their lives, or they get martial artists that cannot act to save their lives. Mortal Kombat was the best to date, but even then it was far from "Flawless Victory", and I mainly point at Sonja and the script.

It will be a rare movie based on a game where they actually get the people who can use martial arts & act...so I won't be getting any hopes up over this. And thats not even counting the script.

The animated tekken movie was not great, the two SF Manga titles were much better. This will probably be average along with the new live action SF film... DOA was pretty crap...

@ G.O.G. They are making a live DBZ movie... also theatrical... I might want to see them both, I have nothing against movie adaptions! I'm probably also going to see the Warcraft movie (the story in that universe is actually really cool)

Say all that to Cung Le's face. He'll kick you in your chest and break your spine.

 

I'm such a big fan of Cung, but he needs to stick to kicking people.

that looks a bit cheap and low budgeted or maybe its just the photo but i'll still watch jus to see the story and characters that are in it

as long as it doesn't suck as much as DOA... I really want this to be good, because I'm a huge fan.

I want to see some REAL TEKKEN  MOVES. Not no stupid practiced karate routine. I want to see some Matrix stuff. Show me some air juggles, not silly slapping and dancing around. If done right, this movie has slight potential to turn out ok, but that's IF they do it right. I guess we'll have to wait and see...

Triple Dk, ur kidding right, and on what planet are they going to film this DBZ movie? Namek. HA!! Take that people who are willing to degrade the best anime in history. You are all wasting your time. IT'S IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!! Sorry, but I had to vent on those who are going to take part whatsoever in making this movie, if it's actully made.  But seriously, no matter how advance technology gets or becomes a live action DBZ movie can never, never, ever live up to the (japanese or english) animated series. EVER!!!! If they really make this "movie" don't go and watch it. Just don't....you'll (most likely) be really disappointed. Especially if your a truly deicated fan like myself. Don't support the shenanigans. It's all propaganda!! You should just wait until it airs on television, if they decide to show it on TV. But then again, one man's trash is another man's treasure.

Stickemup, yeah I respect Cung Le as an EliteXC combatant but he needs to stay away from acting. Hey, but you never know. He might increase his fanbase.

Oooo, man, I just had the craziest thought, Kimbo Slice as Craig Marduk (Yeah, I know thats like four movies later, though it's not going to make it that far!).

Jin Kazama looks weak in that pic, he is much bigger in the game.

 

W.e I just hope this movie manages at a least a 70% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Speechless. Hahaha, wow this movie is gonna be suckage. They should've made it at least cel-shaded or Pixar like. That wouldve been slightly better. Anyways, can't wait for the game though!
