At a party for distributors, the studio showed off some footage from this live-action movie adaptation, starring Luke Goss, Jon Foo, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, Gary Daniels, Ian Anthony Dale, Kelly Overton, Cung Le, and Tamlyn Tomita. The movie follows Jin Kazama as he struggles to get revenge on Tekken Corp. chairman Heihachi Mishima for the death of his mother. And the only way to get revenge is to enter Tekken’s Iron Fist Tournament. Just because.

 

So the trailer/sizzle reel included captions saying:

 

One tournament … decides the fate of millions. … They fight for power … They fight for honor … They fight for pride … But one man … fights for revenge. … Courage fuels him … Rage drives him.

 

We see a flying car soaring over an arena in a futuristic city, and a bloodthirsty crowd waits for the action to begin. We see a montage of the movie’s fighters, including Raven, Eddie Gordo, Bryan Fury, Craig Marduk, and Yoshimitsu. They all look sort of like their game counterparts. And there’s lots of fighting, punching, kicking and general mayhem. Jin Kazama runs along building tops, parkour style, and fights in a cage match, rising up from the streets to the Iron Fist competition. Woo!

 

Jin Kazama meets Steve Fox (Goss) and the sexy Christie Monteiro (Overton), and then there’s a training montage, showing him pummeling a wooden dummy. Steve Fox yells, and Kazuya Mishima (Dale) walks bare-chested in front of a wall of fire. There’s a hero shot of Jin looking like his game counterpart, then he’s fighting in the ring, and then chicks are fighting in the ring. Jin fights Bryan Fury (Daniels) and one of his blows causes an energy ripple across Fury’s chest. Guards pull a distraught woman away, and then there’s more fighting, including maces and half-moon axes. Even more details of fighting and posing at the link. [IGN]
