Wow hahaha a tekken movie, i thought they did one before, renamed and had lee hom wang as the lead role. I guess it was something else then hahah. I'll watch it just to see whats up because i like the game tekken. Well it is a good idea in casting Takeshi as the main role he look kinda like jin in a way..

Wao.. they are making a movie out from an animation... that sounds so cool and they look alike too

No it's an arcade game. Think if they do this, wonder if there are going to be sequels cause isn't there like alot of sequels to the game? Event he picture this news article used as the arcade game name Tekken 5, how many sequels to the game are there? Got to say though I've played this game a long time ago and I always thought the graphic were awesome and extremely realistic. The graphics for the surrounding and arena for each fighting scene were extremely good. Think this game has it's own unique 3D graphics.

By the way this is going to be an American Movie right? Heard about the Tekken movie during my college fair at my high school when American Academy of Art said that the person who created Tekken graduated from their school and long time ago and was going to get alot of money since people are going to make a movie out of it and he's going to get a share of the money for each ticket bought for the movie. Thought everyone knew about it already, guess not. I would so go to the movies and watch this if it's an American movie cause I live in the US. Can't wait to watch already, it's amazing how they could find very famous Japanese and Taiwan actor/actress who look so much like the characters. Think they wanted to look for people who looked like the characters from the start. Didn't think they would do that since they didn't do that for Initial D movie, then again the Initial D movie was an HK production instead. Would be so cool if they could find even more famous actors/actresses or even singers for the role. Too bad Leo Ku isn't in it, he has the look of an anime character but is probably too skinny.

Takeshi is going to make a MIGHTY Hot Jin, except I think he needs to buff up a bit, I'm going to look forward to this!! It sound sso good already!!
cwylee
each person chosen has some resemblence to the game character if u see wat i mean!
Aznb0i
wow~ thats pretti kool~ too bad not much hk actors ><!

i DON'T think that Fann Wang as 'Jun Kazama'' is good because she does even look like Jun Kazama!
Fairytale_ Angel
wow...this seems really cool!! hehe whoever pick these cast sure kno how to pick biggrin.gif they look so much alike the anime game character!! biggrin.gif cannot wait to see it!

this is the 2nd movie after the one acted by Lee Hom and gigi ... cant wait to see it although i don't really like vicky .. but takeshi is in there ! ! hurray

This movie has nothing to do with that horrible Wong Jing rip-off. For one thing this movie is an official Hollywood production and hopefully it'll live up to the joy of the fighting games.
Bomee
Wow, sounds like an interesting production. Creating a movie based on a game - hopefully, it'll make for a good film. Can't wait to see it.
phantasmus
wow.... i must watch this.... I love the tekken game, i used to play it all the time. THe characters and cast matchup pretty well too
songokou626
Oh hell yea!!!! Gordon Liu is in it?? Is this gonna be american or HK??? because the last HK Tekken wannabe movie was not good.....called Avenging Fist....omg....that wuz a horrible movie...i hope this one will be a lot better.... worship.gif
-HK.style-
OMFG!! a tekken movie =) i've always loved the tekken series especially tekken 5...... wonder how much better tekken 6 on ps3 would be =D anways lol i've daydreamed about how mad it would be to have a live tekken movie........... whos going to play marshal law?!?!?!?
ayczach007
hey i think da casting is really good! the actors and actresses really look their part!
Pejaluver
Nothing has been confirmed yet. It's all speculation at the moment and casting may likely be changed.

Must be a Hollywood film. Not 100% sure though.
clarkdevlin
If thats the confirmed cast then lets hope they can produce a good action movie unlike Street fighter which didn't have the spark.

Things i'd be looking for in this movie-

Good acting
Quality fighting scenes
Well scripted story
Nice special effects


Thats mostly about it.
joe_gwamole
waa..theres so many ppl that speak differnt language in this movvie....wonder wht the final language will b? =__=
DragonSunny

probably mid-next year or later.

QUOTE (Nycazngrl9 @ Nov 19 2005 6 54 AM)
are the cartoon characters suppose to resemble them because they dont look alike

Not sure, that's probably just one aspect the director was considering when he was choosing the casts.

Not sure, but I'm 90% sure it is. And I don't think Leo Ku would be a good choice for the cast happy.gif' I feel he just doesn't fit into the whole impression of a action movie, especially one like tekken happy.gif'

At this point, these are the only casts revealed

I don't think there will be any final language, considering that Vicki can't speak english very well...I remember ZZY when she was filming 'Rush Hour', she was speaking mandarin mainly while the others were speaking english...so Vicki probably would be speaking mandarin while the others speak english...unless Vicki recieves some english-speaking lessions for the movie innocent.gif

Comparing the actors/actresses with their designated character, i'll have to say the casting is pretty well done.


lol i agree also! that's exactly what i thought as well, when i saw the pictures! heheeh
vietboi
Man I hope they make this movie really well with such a nice cast. I cant wait to see Vicky in it. Any idea for sure when this movie will be airing?

Please read my previous posts, I have already answered that question...I should not want to repeat my words.

the director probably thought she fit the character of Jun.

Seems like they replaced Jet Li with Takeshi...it's a good thing they did though, because Takeshi in my opinion fits the role of Jin more than Jet innocent.gif I really can't picture Jet as Jin! happy.gif'
Kenway
OMG..!!! this is sooooo COOOOOOLLLLL..!!!!!!! i think the casting is quite good....Takeshi look quite like Jin and i think Fann Wong will be suitable in tat role....now it all depends on the computer effect....if it si good than this movie will be AWESOME..!!! Cant wait to watch it MAN..!!!
sweetcream
Must say the choice of cast is very good. I hope they don't muck up the movie with bad storyline though. The anime movie certainly wasn't that great.
Crystal_Boy
Gotta said the actor and the character look very similar. I wonder would this movie be out in the United State? Also is the plot or story line gonna follow the game play ?
apple_ok
hmm..the ppl look so much like the characters in the game. ^^ good choice of ppl.
Sleepy_samurai
I hope they at least come up with a creditable storyline or just allow the story and make it just loooootttss of action because I really don't want them to spoil the legacy that Tekken has built itself.

Look what happened to Street Fighter the movie...aiii...it pretty much destroyed the name of Street Fighter, and it came on TV just the other day to haunt me I just don't want another repeat of what happened to that, it would be a shame if it did.

O.O what a great cast!! i hope they dont ruin it by overstuffing it and giving it a lame storyline..
mango_pudding
oooh i luv tekken lol
but does vicki zhao really have 2 be in it?? She's such a snob!
kimazy
how do u know vicki zhao is a snob? u do even know her? exactly!!! so quit talking sh*t. she is an awsome actress. so if u don't have anything nice and smart to say. don't say it at all.
rtr
nice! i like the cast, it fits the characters right! and vicki looks really good in that picture!
kantonstilez
Man the casts for this movie looks awesome, hope the movie is going to be good as the cast.
reallazymofo
hey the casts really looks alike to the characters in teh game. haha pretty good, i am goign to watch it when it comes out!

The first Tekken movie was one of the worst movies I've ever seen. Hopefully the sequel would be much better, it does seem to be promising tho judging by the cast.

If this is a hollywood movie (which I'm 97% sure it might is), then of course it will be released in the US innocent.gif

Watch ur words! If u don't like Vicki, then simply just say so, but do NOT be insulting! Ur commenting are obviously offensive to Vicki fans! twisted.gif Please respect fans feelings innocent.gif

Some really nice cast choices thats seems to be well suited for their characters.
I'll be watching this when it comes, since it seems quite interesting and fun, but especially for takeshi... he looks so hot!
jadeforever

aznkingbzt

why make assumptions so early? how would you know that this will not be a good movie? as far as we know, the only information that's been revealed is the casts, how can you predict what the movie will be like just based on the casts? we don't know what the storyline is...i'm sure it's not just people fighting each other, there should be other aspects included in the storyline.

like what illusional_linda said before, it's too early to make up assumptions.
FantasyMania
With a great cast, this movies is already looking great. I hope Vicky and Takeshi are paired together. dance.gif
Elluzions
Wow, didn't know that Vicki Zhao was gonna be in the new Tekken movie. Makes me want to see it even more!!! I always loved playing Tekken on PS2, and having Vicki in the movie is a plus!

Wow it is great casting and I think the actors and actresses do have some resemblance of the Tekken characters.  Tekken is a video game series mostly played on playstation consoles and it has been a very popular game among video gamers.  LOL  Anyways, I think it should be a great movie and hope we get more info on who will play the other characters.  clapping.gif  clapping.gif
