Hai! You may know me as Professor Pew in older times. If you see a cblog here from beyond September 2010 or something: that's from the cblogging days and not anything editor-related :)

Tekken has a movie poster. Wait, there's a Tekken movie?
Maurice Tan | 8:36 AM on 11.01.2007 15 comments


It will never be better than the classic Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat or Dead or Alive movies. No, not THE Street Fighter!

The poster reads:
After the Great Terror Wars, governments fell...
Seven corporations rose from the ashes to rule all men...
Together they were known as the The Iron Fist...
The mightiest of which was...


Tekken had a story? I thought it was about a tiny dinosaur riding a giant seagull, 3 times the size of a lion:


According to Comingsoon.net:
"The story centers on two childhood friends who enter a worldwide martial arts tournament. As they progress, the pals move toward uncovering a secret that lies within the mysterious Tekken Corp. Charles Stone will direct."

I guess IMDb is outdated with tv director Dwight H. Little at the helm. We'll see in 2009!

Comingsoon also mentions that:
"In other game-to-film news, ComingSoon.net has learned that Christophe Gans' (Silent Hill) adaptation of video game Onimusha is expected to roll cameras in April of 2008."

That one might be watchable!

Maybe I should rewrite Atlas Shrugged while I'm at it?

I loved playing as Gon. All high and medium attacks went over him. RIP Tekken 3.

I'm thoroughly confused. That plot only sounds vaguely similar to the original story. Then again, it's not like the original story was Shakespeare.

Aww, Gon is so cute. Miss that lil guy. Cognito, I know what you mean man. I drove my friends insane. hehe

Um, I dunno about a live-action Tekken, this could be just way too much. And Gans didnt too bad with the Silent Hill film (it just seperated alot of elements, and made its own haven). But Tekken, the anime ova that came out awhile back was "so-so".. not sure what this might lead to.
