Tekken Movie Cast Confirmed?

are u talking about tekken bein finished years ago? cuz that damn aiignt true.

What the fuck, Roger Huerta as Miguel?

1.) Why is Miguel even in this movie, and
2.) Why is Roger Huerta playing Miguel?

Last time I checked, Huerta was a lightweight fighter. Miguel is a big dude.

I fully expect this movie to be as breathtaking as Versus.

lol just cuz ur in a certain weightclass doesnt mean thats your natural weight. check out the dudes from america top team like no one is even close to the weight division their in.

Just thought I wud throw out a few ideas for the cast:

Jin: the guy from fast n furious tokyo drift (main antagonist asian)

Marduk: Bob Sapp (yes I said it)

Lei: obvious

King: sumthin Messiah (wrestler from AAA)

marduk’s brazilian…and bob sapp is an embarrassment to all black people.

the guy from tokyo drift i could see as jin.

I already covered that. Casual fans won’t know the difference, so why not go for the option that will make everyone happy?

because if a producer feels changes will make them more money they’ll do it. hence why a movie like 21 which is based off a cast of asians and like 2 white people got flipped to 2 asians and the rest are white. even though its a true story.

It doesn’t though. Videogame to film adaptations routinely fail because the core audience is alienated and the casual audience has no interest to begin with so any momentum the film could have gained is wasted. This has always been the case. The only franchises that succeed are ones with lots of crossover appeal like Resident Evil. People will see it regardless because Zombie movies are a relatively popular genre.

Exactly. You’re arguing against your own point. Resident Evil is completely different than Tekken or say Xmen. Film producers wanna tone down the unrealistic stuff and emphasize the realistic stuff so that casual film goers will have an easier time accepting the film. Would you want to see Wolverine in his yellow and black spandex costume with the bat ears? Or Jin or Heihachi with the wavy hair that look like bird’s wings? Or would you rather see them with more realistic hair or Wolverine in a believable, real world costume that makes sense. I know I don’t mind, as long as the movie is actually good and retains the core of the game’s/comic’s story. I would prefer more realism than pandering to the hardcore fans. Either way, the hardcore fans will still go see the movie. I’m just saying, I’m for whatever helps sell the movie to more people so that they make sequels and shit.

Zulu, Marduk is white dude, albeit tanned (his 2P outfit T5 even moreso tanned, in T6 his 2P outfit is not as tanned anymore), but he’s a white Australian.

Video game movies are just like comic book or anime movies, they will never please the real fans. If u wanna get pleased by a movie based on sumthin do it urself. Hell u wud prolly make more money then hoolywood :-p but u gotta admit Dead or Alive and Street Fighter were amazing movies :-x lmao.

Edit: nathan as marduk is good since he’s modeled afterjones. I still don’t see the whiteness. Lol.

Is the guy playing eddy ben in any other movies?

Where is lei btw? Wtf?

Or Marduk *could *be a black Australian. There’s no source that I can see that definitively says he’s black or white. TBH tho, he’s black as hell. :wonder: If you have a link that proves it either way, that would be best.

He was the capoeira dude in The Protector, that scene in the temple full of water vs Tony Jaa. Good martial artist, he’d be a great Eddy.

I don’t get why Hollywood accepts some of these video game movie ideas, like “Legend of Chun li”, and turn down something like Metal Gear Solid which was going to be directed by David Hayter; that movie would of been more then decent.

They turned down MGS? Damn. Oh I thought that wud b a great eddy, I didn’t know his name tho. I called him “the clap” cuz he wud clap after all his kicks. Lol.

I’m looking forward 2 lost planet’s movie, its supposedly being done wif capcom’s help and they have david hayter(solid snake and who cud forget “GUYVER”) behind it :smiley:

awesome, hope it went well! :tup:

From what I remember Jon started filming back in '07/08 :wtf:

People on IMDB are saying its better than DBZ and Legend of Chun Li if that means anything. It has 8/10 (but imdb score system can’t ever be trusted), I will wait and see what folks on rotten tomato say.

I could see Tak Sakaguchi as Jin.

maxx: I think Marduk is australian. :sweat:

I think that this movie will do well in Japan like Live Action Dragonball did.

Shang Tsung better say a nice line in this movie.

I haven’t trusted in IMDB reviews since Izo :’( if u thought sf, sf legend of chun li, and dbz were bad…ur in for a trip wen u see Izo

Go look at his Tekken 4 render. :rofl: racial draft.

Also the character was clearly based off of Nathan Jones, c’mon there. :rofl:
