Tekken Movie Actually Happening?
Warner Bros. has launched a web page announcing a March 2010 Japanese theatrical release for the American produced live action Tekken motion picture. The film from director Dwight Little and screenwriter Alan McElroy has a cast including Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, Chiaki Kuriyama, Gary Daniels, Cung Le, and Kelly Overton. Dwight Little has directed TV episodes of series including 24, Bones, Dollhouse, Prison Break, and Millennium. McElroy’s previously filmed scripts include Wrong Turn, Rapid Fire, Ballistic: Ecks vs. Sever, The Marine, and Spawn.
If nothing else, it already looks like it may be better than Dragon Ball Evolution and Legend of Chun-li.

Ecks vs. Sever was a terrible movie, but hopefully this will beat out both Dead or Alive and the upcoming King of Fighters both of which will be among history’s worst films ever made.
I’ve seen the anime OVA of Tekken, and I I must say that it too is amongst the worst I’ve seen.
I have to defend the live action Dead or Alive movie because it’s different from most fighting game to film adaptations. Movies like Street Fighter (both of them), Avenging Fist (the Chinese Tekken movie), Dragon Ball Evolution, and, by the look of it, KoF are terrible because they try to be good and serious movies and fail. Dead or Alive wasn’t intended to be a “good” movie in the first place. It’s obviously supposed to be a campy, silly flick, and it does a pretty good job of fulfilling that objective.
