Tekken Movie 2010: First Official Movie Poster!

Finally! The first ever official Tekken Movie poster is out!

(Honestly, I thought it was Romnick Sarmienta, lol..)

I feel exhilarated when I read this recent update from HeyGuys.co.uk:

Tekken is due to be released on March 6 2010 in Japan, is set for a straight-to-DVD/Blu-ray release on April 5 in the UK.

I hope this time there will be no more delays! The fans (and that includes me) are already anxious to see this movie in the big screen, and as always I’m hopeful that this will be the BEST videogame movie adaptation of our generation, regardless of what skeptics say.

Here’s a short background on the storyline:

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 (Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa).

In the year of 2039, 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 the Mishima Zaibatsu. In order to keep the masses down, Mishima sponsors the King of Iron Fist Tournament, or Tekken, in which fighters battle until one is left standing, who in turn will receive a lifetime of stardom and wealth. We are introduced to this violent world through the eyes of Jin Kazama who enters the tournament in order to avenge the death of his mother that he blames upon the Mishima Zaibatsu’s most 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, 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.

Cheers!
