    I spoke to Cung about this.

    We spoke soon after the Shamrock fight. He was pretty excited about the role, but he was also talking up his role on Fighting. Cung is on the march. We'll be hearing a lot more from him soon.

    Donnie's MMA is pretty good and probably will get better. They would be good training partners.

    Fighting looks good but the story seems to be a little thin.

    Trailer actually doesn't look too bad. I mean, it's not going to be a masterpiece, but as MA Video game movies go it looks like it will be good.

    And Hey......they have Cung Le and that'll be a plus right there.

    But, considering Tekken was always my favorite fighting game, I'll have to see it.


    I looked up the cast online, and it looks like they are omitting virtually every Chinese stylist from the Video game when they make the movie. No Lei, Wang, or Feng. It looks like the only one is the Chinese Girl. (and Law if you count JKD).

    Also no King or Paul, WTF??? I always thought they were two of the most popular characters.

    U.S. Theatrical release in 2011?

    Anchor Bay Picks Up Tekken for a Wide Theatrical 2011 Release
    Posted on Tuesday, September 14th, 2010 by Adam Quigley

    We’ve seen a poster and a trailer for Tekken, but does anybody want to see Tekken itself?

    Anchor Bay Films seems to think so, and that’s why they’re granting the film a wide theatrical release in 2011. Screwy business decision, or calculated risk? Check the box office breakdown after the break.

    Coming Soon reports the news, saying that Anchor Bay acquired the U.S., Australia and New Zealand distribution rights to the film from Crystal Sky Pictures. They announce that the film “will be released widely in the United States in 2011″—the “widely” being the part that immediately caught my eye.

    A wide release? Seriously?

    When I saw Tekken’s trailer (the video from the original post has been taken down, but I’ve embedded a mirror below), I thought for sure the film would end up being dumped straight-to-DVD, copies of it building dust on the bottom of a rental store shelf. Then I spotted the tagline on the poster—”The Battle Begins Aug 5″—and was struck with a combination of fear, hate and sadness. That date passed though, and I had all but forgotten about the film. Balance had been restored to the universe.

    And then this happened.

    Anchor Bay must not have checked the box office tallies for video game adaptations, or else they’d know that, unless you have Angelina Jolie sporting a tight, tiny shirt, they don’t really perform too well. It also doesn’t bode well that three of the lowest ranking titles on that list are adaptations of fighting games, a subgenre that isn’t too highly populated. Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li tops it with under $9 million in its coffers, and a dismal $12 million worldwide; Double Dragon took in an even sadder $2 million; and DOA: Dead or Alive gets the honor of being the lowest earning video game adaptation of all time, making less than half a million dollars overall.

    Anchor Bay will be lucky to even make back their marketing costs with this one. It’s a shame, too, since they’ve only recently started to expand to the theatrical market, and many of their recent releases (Solitary Man, City Island) have been quite good. One has to wonder why they thought Tekken was the pony to back when jumping from limited to wide releases.
    I have this and I've been meaning to watch it for the last week or two, but just haven't had the opportunity.
