Tekken Movie in the Works. Gasp!

ZOUNDS! Apparently with all the hubbub about the upcoming Soul Calibur movie, the Tekken movie has been overlooked. Well, yes, even after all that talk about Hong Kong stunt superstar Samo Hung eventually putting out his own stab at the Iron Fist tournament under another name, there’s another Tekken movie being produced.
According to the poster, the world is recovering from something called the ‘Terror Wars’. A number of powerful corporations rose to power afterwards, the most powerful being… Tekken. Hmm. Shouldn’t that read instead ‘The Mishima Zaibatsu’? Probably this means that there will be fighters representing each of these corporations in one big tournament. I just hope they stay true to the characters and the plot. But that’s a long shot- movies tend not to follow canon or game lore, often to the disgust of fans who know the material. But who knows? This might be good.

Aaah. I’ll just expect lots of big, muscle-bound guys, some hot babes, lots of screaming and yelling ‘WATAAAA!’ and gobs of over-the-top sound effects. If there’s a boxing kangaroo or a CG winged devil monster in there somewhere, I’ll be moderately amused.

Did I mention that it’s being directed by the guy who did those ‘Wasssuuuup’ Budweiser commercials?
