TEKKEN THE MOVIE – Official Japanese Movie Poster
Based on the long running and highly successful Namco video game franchise of the same name, TEKKEN is a high-octane, action packed thriller written for the screen by Alan McElroy (Spawn, The Marine) and to be directed by Dwight Little (Anacondas, Murder at 1600) with fight choreography tentatively by Dion Lam (Spider-Man 2, Doom, Red Cliff).
Set in 2039, the film promises non-stop high flying action as 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 is in line to become one of the greatest action films of all time.

Yeah, both of your choices make no sense.
December 22, 2009 at 9:07 pm |

December 23, 2009 at 11:31 am |
maybe They’re on the other side of the poster. lol. what? you think they would put the whole roster on the porter?
December 23, 2009 at 11:35 am
Poster Not Porter^
December 22, 2009 at 10:58 pm |
Lol Nina and Anna look like drag queens. That’s really depressing…maybe they’ll look better in the movie? T___T
December 23, 2009 at 1:20 am |
They will make a game off this movie watch….
December 23, 2009 at 1:34 am |
No trailer!?
VenoM362 thinks this movie will be lame. But I will still see it. Cause it’s Tekken and to see how much they fucked up the characters and story.
I’m just saying…
December 23, 2009 at 1:42 am |
Should have just got someone to do a decent anime of it, like Street Fighter II The Animated Movie. I’ll still watch this though, just not holding out much hope for it actually being good.
December 23, 2009 at 2:00 am |
man…..i had hopes of hwoarang and king but i guess theyre prob not gna be in it. but seeing that cung le as law isnt on the poster either brings some hope of seeing other characters.
kazuya does look different, but i think that beard totally differentiates him from jin, whereas in the game they have similar hairstyles.
December 23, 2009 at 2:19 am |

December 23, 2009 at 2:50 am |
this movie is gonna have actors that look NOTHING like the characters. i hate that.
@Lili Rochefort if you have PS3 add me my SN is my name.
December 23, 2009 at 3:38 am |
Cary Tagawa as Heihachi looks cool.
December 23, 2009 at 4:31 am |
This movie will be bad..
..very bad.
December 23, 2009 at 4:50 am |
At least they cast eddy’s mo-cap maestro as eddy. lateef crowder ftw.
December 23, 2009 at 5:31 am |
Lateef Crowder NEVER EVERRR did motion capture for Eddy/Christie. Don’t be spreading rumors…Google it!!
December 23, 2009 at 5:26 am |
Where is Ling??
December 23, 2009 at 5:34 am |
Looking forward to see the movie…
Hope it will not be rubbish as most of the good games that they try to make a movie out of…
December 23, 2009 at 5:38 am |
Nice poster, but the movie is probably going to be an utter failure. Still going to watch it, though, just won’t have any expectations for it.
December 23, 2009 at 6:20 am |
ER WHERES LING XIAOYU!?!
December 23, 2009 at 6:36 am |
ah check this link out!
click on the website link // or copy as a URL
Includes the characters and actors who will be playing them. I guess the characters are still being decided if they will be in the film. Fingers crossed our favourites are in there. Iv got a feeling the base film will be around Jin Kazuma so not all characters will be introduced.

December 23, 2009 at 7:43 am |

December 23, 2009 at 9:56 am |
whoevers a filipino and reads this…
i played in makati, greenbelt 5…
the sticks were shit asssss!
im not playing there ever again… it may be cheap as fuck but the sticks aren’t worth to play on…
toooooo stiff… they’re not responsive…
i was so disappointed with the competition… i thought the players there were good just by looking… but theyre fucking shit… i hope its just the time i went but if those are the regulars that play there… man! ill be going to g4 i think?…
i hope theres a place where i can play with RESPONSIVE STICKS and not some shitty stiff HORI?sticks that had something wrong with it..
i lost a couple of times because i couldn’t do my backdash cancel… OMG! gaaah! G5 timezone t6br there… i wont recommend it to anyone…
December 23, 2009 at 11:41 am |
When I look at the comments about this movie all I see is “baawww cryy it’s gonna be so bad”. Watch it for what it is.
I’d rather have Jin attend college and make out with Christie (which was the “rumor”), lol, RATHER THAN people throwing each other out from cliffs and in lava, etc!
I know they do some weird decisions with the movie, but remember, they don’t try to please Tekken fans only, they gotta please more people for it to be successful, and I’m sorry, Tekken doesn’t have that great of a story.
My biggest gripe though is where is Paul and Hwoarang, heck they even put Dragunov in there lawl.
Oh I think I know why Paul isn’t in there, because people would “WTF IS WITH HIS HAIR”, IF they got it right, and if they would “fuck up” his hair, people (you people) would just whine.
No offense to anyone but I will at least enjoy this movie. With or without facial hair on Kazuya. :P

December 23, 2009 at 3:41 pm |
shang tsung is heihachi lulz
December 23, 2009 at 5:45 pm |
That guy is the greatest asian bad guy of all time. Cast him as anything evil and asian and you can’t go wrong lololol. And honestly the movies is only like 2 hrs long or so lol. You can’t expect them to cast everyone. I think Anna is there because of Nina. Cause nina has to be in there.
December 25, 2009 at 12:01 am |
na, man, never ever forget LO PAN!
December 23, 2009 at 6:06 pm |
in some website… I found out the Jin’s love interest in this movie is Christie… WTH??? Anyway… hopefully Ling Xiaoyu is here.. in the tekkenpedia site, it says that “As more information comes to light, the list of cast members and what character they will portray will be added.” Hopefully Ling is here…
December 23, 2009 at 8:07 pm |
WTF?!
December 23, 2009 at 7:01 pm |
This movie is going to be terrible. Namco has had 0 involvement.
A real Tekken movie would follow the story of the original game and would work with the smaller cast of characters. They need to start at the origin and do it properly and then go from there….
I dont think Ill even watch it it will piss me off too much
December 23, 2009 at 7:55 pm |
but tekken story is kind of stupid anyway.
December 23, 2009 at 8:08 pm |
No it’s not
December 23, 2009 at 10:59 pm
lol, yes it is…
December 23, 2009 at 7:59 pm |
hmm, I started playing Tekken 3 before ever playing 1 and 2, before discovering my fave character, Baek Doo San…
I have to say its ok to start from Jin’s story-line. I can relate. ^_^
December 24, 2009 at 12:14 am |
@ dARTHsolidus
CARE TO MENTION ANOTHER 3D FIGHTING GAME STORY THATS BETTER ??
December 24, 2009 at 12:15 am |
I know thank you. . .Tekken owns when it comes down to the story. . .
December 26, 2009 at 10:18 pm
i agree. captivating story.
December 24, 2009 at 1:00 am |
This is going to be another “DBZ Evolution” Failure.
Hollywood thinks this is another movie they can abuse for little kids.
The Tekken 1,2,3 Stories do have depth and can become really great movies but this movie is going to be a joke.
Least more Tekken sales eh, for more Tekkens to come.
December 24, 2009 at 6:42 am |
I don’t know about this….but i’m gonna watch it….4 good or 4 worse….
December 24, 2009 at 7:13 am |
Whats with the mustaches and goatees? Especially on Bryan
The games logo looks way better… They need to thicken the font

December 27, 2009 at 9:03 am |
Your judging from a small image? may look better in action but regardless she looks crap from that image. Yes you will watch it! even if it wasn’t legal.
January 6, 2010 at 11:36 am
i saw some movie stills at some random site and it loooks really eeeeeww! huuhuhuhu! i wont watch this even from a pirated dvd! huhuhuhu! im so depressed!
January 6, 2010 at 11:40 am
Jin is hot though, but its not enough reason for me to watch it coz they ruined Anna and Nina! huhuhuhuhuhu! i wanna die!
December 28, 2009 at 4:14 am |
Jin looks half decent
December 31, 2009 at 1:49 am |
his gauntlets are flawless.
December 31, 2009 at 1:43 pm |
promises fan favorites? last time i checked christie wasn’t that popular. paul, yoshimitsu, law, xiaoyu, lei, hwoarang, and lili should have been guaranteed. sooooooo not looking forward to this.
January 1, 2010 at 12:04 pm |
I have my own castings:
Milla Jovovich – Nina Williams
Beyonce Knowles – Christie
Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa – Kazuya
Sonny Chiba – Heihachi Mishima
Wesley Snipes – Raven
January 4, 2010 at 5:08 pm |
No Paul???? how in da fuck can u 4get Paul? couldnt find nebody 2 play him? all u had 2 do was kick Kevin Nash old ass back into 2 shape and teach him 6mos of Judo based martial arts on top of his wrestling and some styling gel and BAM!!!!!!!! Paul Phoenix wins
January 11, 2010 at 1:25 pm |
@Spitfire
LOL, i get where youre comin from but theyre not gonna put all 40+ characters in the movie.
I think a few characters theyre gonna include dont need to be there, like Miguel.
But yes; Personally itd be amusing to see a portrayal of Paul.
My demands are only a King, Bryan and Yoshi in the film. Two of those have been confirmed already.
Gary Daniels looks the part of Bryan, but more so in his average photos than the alleged movie stills. Something I think can be fixed easily.
January 12, 2010 at 1:06 am |
WHY ISNT WESLEY SNIPES RAVEN?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
January 12, 2010 at 11:09 am |
Wesley Snipes iz locked up on federal charges of tax evasion even though he has been able 2 film movies on a plea deal but probably didnt catch da memo 4 auditioning…….
