The original teaser poster for the movie adaptation of Tekken didn’t offer much. Yep, Tekken starts with a “T”… thanks. But this two-page sales art spread gives us a better idea of Tekken: The Movie‘s aesthetic.
Movie site ComingSoon.net spotted the Tekken promo, featuring the fancy tagline “Survival Is No Game”, at the American Film Market expo, giving us a first look at some of the movie adaptation’s line up. Featured are, to the best of my Tekken knowledge, the movie versions of Law, Heihachi — about to be kicked in the ear by Bryan? — Jin, and the Williams sisters Nina and Anna.
The film’s take on the Namco Bandai franchise, directed by Dwight Little, appears to be authentic to the game’s virtual fighters. Perhaps a bit too authentic, if we’re splitting hairs. Speaking of hair, will Paul Phoenix’s ‘do make an appearance? Oh I hope so.
What do you think? Stoked to watch Tekken play out while giving your hands a rest? For a bigger and better look, head over to ComingSoon.

This has disappointment written all over it. I hope I’m proved wrong!
