First Tekken movie images!

[IWAO]

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.

For those who dont know who Lateef Crowder is watch these

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.

[Green Michine]

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.

[Itaintrite]

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

[Staude]

words alone cannot express my dissapointment.

...

oh andin what way does the actors look anywhere near there game counterpart. imean kazuya and jins are not even japanese..............

[IWAO]

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:

[De La Milagrosa]

this movie is going to be.... ehh, better not say. On a side note, why is Christie so light skinned? Now I'm pissed off twice as much.

[grcswoosh]

Where the hell is his hair?!?!?!?!?
http://news.mydrivers.com/img/20080329/S03054924.jpg

[Feli]

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

any idea on when the new Avatar season might start?

[Alibi86]

damn, after watching those youtube videos of Lateef Crowder, I agree 100%. that first video was ****in rediculous

[killzone_71]

Im moving this thread in the entertainment section...

[Stewie Skywalker]

Cung LEE IS SO BEAST...in the octagon. Lord knows how good his acting skills are, we shall see.

[Shin Asura]

Marshall Law, disgusting, can't see Jin very well but I don't agree

This is going to be a home rental

[Shadowfyre]

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.

[Alti]

law needs to run a few miles. he looks a bit... too chubby... the face needs some slimming BIG TIME.

[RuiyJR]

grcswoosh dude you hit the right point ha ha :))
i think switch the characters between christie and nina :)
lee looks stupid the acting character looks like from malasia or philipine or that kinda heh
and about jin he suited for jin 45% well then let's movie's actors make up

well i wish cossip dudes can play in the movies hmmm :( just look at that tifa cossip almost 100%

[THUGGEDOUT]

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...

looks nothing like him.

Another good game series ruined by the now 'in' thing of turning games into movies. I hope Namco know what've just gone and done...

[THUGGEDOUT]

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!

[Advance]

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?

[Advance]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resident_Evil:_Degeneration

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.

[THUGGEDOUT]

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...

[Advance]

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.

[jamesyfx]

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.

[IWAO]

Luckily it's in a way not Namco, that's making this one, but they gave them the permission to make this one, which still isn't good!

[Nuvian]

i sense a major fail:/
hopefully its not as bad as the DOA movie.

[Miss_GTAuto]

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.

That would've been a much better choice

[Zabuza]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nathan_Jones_(wrestler)

This guy's been confirmed as Craig Marduk... most likely. It's only wikipedia but seems plausible. Good call on Lateef Crowder being Eddie Gordo.

[THUGGEDOUT]

Luckily it's in a way not Namco, that's making this one, but they gave them the permission to make this one, which still isn't good!

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...

[Say Low]

looks alright. I actually like the guy whos playing Bryan. I think it sorta matches. Lol at heihachi. Not too sure about Law...
