Tekken: The King of Iron Fist Tournament

"Tekken (鉄拳) is an upcoming martial arts film directed by Dwight Little, based on the popular fighting game series of the same name. The film follows Jin Kazama (Jon Foo) in his attempts to rid himself of the devil which plagues his soul and confronting his father, Kazuya Mishima (Ian Anthony Dale) and his grandfather, Heihachi Mishima (Hiroyuki Tagawa). As of 14th January 2010, an international preliminary-seeming trailer has finally been released. The theme song for the film is "You're Going Down" by Sick Puppies as play in the trailer.

The film was screened at the Mann's Criterion Theatre in Santa Monica on 5th November, as part of the AFM Film Festival in order to find a solid distributor. The release of the movie is currently uncertain in America, although it is due to be released in Japan on 6 March 2010, distributed by Warner Bros. The film is to be released directly to DVD and Blu-ray in the UK on 5 April 2010 (Article Source: Wikipedia)".


As I am a huge fan of Tekken, I definitely hope the movie will be released in Singapore this year. I look forward to watch it soon. You may watch the movie trailer via Youtube here.

Yes Saruman, agree with you. It's a must see movie to me as well. Hope the movie will be released everywhere in Asia soon and it is better than "Street Fighters - Chun Li" and "Dragonball" released in 2009 :)
