I've hoped it would have been a CGI one, but oh well Namco doesn't seem to care. Anyway according to SDTekken, so is this one about Tekken 6, and not the previous Tekken games.

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 (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0411951/), 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 (http://myspace.com/cungle), 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 (http://profile.imageshack.us/user/tekkencorp/images).

I think Jackie Chan would make a perfect Lei Wulong and Lateef Crowder MUST be Eddie Gordo.

Good choice of actors in my opinion, not sure about Law but i like the rest, especially Fox and Kazuya.
Very interesting, can't wait.

Finally a movie with actors that actually represent the game characters.

I hope it dont follow street fighters footsteps, well the street fighter movie that is.

Cung Le just won elitex too... though, casting professional fighters is risky... They might give good fights, but when it comes to acting.

It's because they're more focused on the game now, and it's not Namco, that's making it this time, so blame them only for allowing those people to make such a movie:cry:

I don't like Christie. tsk

I like the Williams Sisters though. and I think the Jin could be a real badass, as well as Bryan Fury.

I don't like Heihachi either. but maybe it's just the cheesy smile in that photo of his.

this'll be a crap movie but I'll be watching :P and I can't wait to see King

I sure hope this isn't what they look like in the movie. I could see them all as their character if they had the right clothes and hair though- but not as good as it could be.

Hmmm, Luke Goss is getting alot of roles these days, he was good in Blade II. So where's Yoshimitsu at, he would be a cool character to have especially with his story...Also IMDB has Chiaki Kuriyama as Ling Xiaoyu, I'm sure you all know her from Kill Bill...

This is the time when they need to understand that total CGI is the way to go and if they did go that route they could then implement characters that they probably would have to omit from the live action film...Total CGI is the future of video game movies I tell you!

The decision whether to use CGI throughout an entire film is borderline. While it might work for a film series like Final Fantasy, it might be the complete opposite when you use it for a film like Tekken. To be completely honest, the only way we can tell if CGI-based films are the way to go is to see the critics opinions on Resident Evil, later this year.

Thing is though I'm figuring total CGI would work even more so for a film like Tekken, look at the various fighting styles, combos and special finishing moves from the game, it makes more sens to make the film total CGI. But as you say it may not work with all films.

What is this about Resident Evil?

Resident Evil: Degeneration, known in Japan as Biohazard: Degeneration(バイオハザード ディジェネレーション Baiohazādo Dijenereeshon?), is the first full-length CG animation feature based upon the Resident Evil series of games. It was announced by Capcom and Sony Pictures Entertainment Japan on October 29, 2007. It is currently in production, with plans for a release in 2008.

Hmmm, thanks for that Bionic, sounds good and I am glad they are doing this. I will have to check out the trailer at home but it is as you say, the critics will have to give their opinions. I remember when FF:SW came out and all the critics applauded the effects but panned it and said it was not the way to go, I thought the film was excellent...

Spirits Within sits in a mixed bag. While the amount of detail put into the animation was amazing, the actual storyline was not. Advent Children, however, was awesome on all scales, from animation to storyline.

They're idiots for making this movie. Dead or Alive was released a few years ago and most people didn't even know they made it. It'll be ignored.

Hahaha! I totally agree with this opinion. Shoalin soccer rocked!
This movie definitely is going to be the next best film to Mortal Kombat!!
Nothing can top Street Fighter the movie!
Wasn't Kylie Minogue great?

Anyway!! I'm a Julia Chang fan and I think the best actress to play her should be Tamara Feldman from one episode of Smallville (not that I watch it). But she's hot and she plays a Native American on it.

Namco are probably thinking it doesn't matter if the movie is crap because that really will not deter fans from the game because they know the game is good and will continue to buy. Still it would be nice if they cared more about it and had some sort of say in how its made...
