A new Japanese poster for Dwight H. Little‘s movie “Tekken,” based on the long running and highly successful Namco video game franchise of the same name, has been revealed.
Tekken Plot: Set in 2039, the greatest fighters from around the world come to compete in the last and greatest sporting event of all time, the Fist Tournament. After World Wars destroy much of civilization as we know it, the remaining territories are no longer run by governments, but by corporations the mightiest of which is Tekken. In order to keep the masses down, Tekken sponsors the Iron Fist Tournament in which fighters compete to the death for ultimate glory and receive a lifetime of stardom and wealth.
We are introduced to this violent world through the eyes of Jin Kazama, a street fighter that enters the tournament in order to avenge the death of his mother that he blames upon Tekken’s powerful and controlling Chairman, Heihachi Mishima. He knows that the only way to get close enough to Mishima to kill him is to win the tournament. With the help of Lucas, an ageing Iron Fist Champion and fight trainer, Jin makes his way through the tournament, but in doing so, he begins to uncover his own past and inner demons as well as exposing a dark underbelly to Tekken that threatens the very existence of humanity. With futuristic and imaginative sets, a compelling story, and fight sequences combining fighting styles from all over the world.
“Tekken” stars Jon Foo, Luke Goss, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, Cung Le, Chiaki Kuriyama, Gary Daniels, Ian Anthony Dale, Tamlyn Tomita, Kelly Overton, Mircea Monroe, Lateef Crowder, Candice Hillebrand, Gary Ray Stearns and Marian Zapico.
No release date has been set.

Tekken Poster
No King?? Come on he’s on of the originals….
what the f*?, where is LAW?
Law is in the film. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0411951/ altough from an interview i read with the actor playing the part, he is preety pissed off that his scenes are very limited.
what sucks is that apparently Lei, Paul and King are not going to be in it.
oh what the hell im not going to bitch about this film as long as the action will be great ;)
they have raven but no paul? wtf is that
wtf that looks nothing like kazuya
wtf no giant panda? this game is going to suck
it should have worked.
but still it will suck bigtime. just like dragonball did.
Wheres puma?Giant panda?Mojukin?Roger?
this movie would be 40x more ridiculous with panda,mokujin and roger in it.
on the other hand some of the casting is well chosen such as the eddy and marduk characters who are perfect for the roles.
however this will most likely flop as another dragon ball z.
WHERE THE F* IS LILI..!!!!!!!?????????
Don’t complain they can’t possibly have every character in the film, plus I think they want people who fit into the 2039 time line (which makes me wonder why Eddy and Christy are in it).
too many characters will spoil the story because there will never be enough screen time for all of them.
XIAOYU?? cmon..
Oh Common where’s my idol YOSHIMITSU oh i cant believe this TEKKEN without PAUL, KING, and YOSHIMITSU???
no Bruce Irving? but Bryan Fury gets in? LAME. might as well have thrown Tong Po, and Van Damme in there too. NOK-SU-KOW!
