Tekken


I had no idea a movie was being made based off the popular videogame "Tekken."

"Tekken" is being directed by Dwight H. Little ("Halloween 4
: The Return of Michael Myers
", "Marked for Death," "Anacondas: The Hunt for the Blood Orchid") and is based on Namco's popular series of fighting games, which first debuted in 1994. The story will follow Jin, who enters the "King of Iron First" tournament in order to avenge the death of his mother that he blames upon Tekken's powerful and controlling chairman, Heihachi Mishima.

According to First Showing, "Last year, Luke Goss told us that this would be R rated, which seems a bit odd, but if it indeed turns out to be as violent as he makes it out to be, then this might actually end up being pretty good.

According to our sources, 'Tekken' finished shooting in May and has been in post-production since then. This is the first time we've heard any mention of it since last year. I'm guessing the production wants to distance themselves as much as they can from the 'Street Fighter' movie, which is why they're probably laying low until that hits theaters first."

It will be interesting to see a trailer for this and see how many characters from the game series will be in the movie. Apparently mum is the word on this film if it finished filming almost a year ago. Wonder when it will come out.
More new to come! Catch ya' later!
