Tekken (Live Action Film)

Finally, a Tekken movie, one with a budget of more than 20 bucks this time, is coming to theaters. It was supposed to be out this year, but its release date is now a mystery. Odds are we’ll see it in 2010, but don’t be surprised if it vanishes into the ether. Still, enough details have been released that we suspect this one will eventually see the light of day, even if those details don’t exactly fill us with optimism. The director’s previous credits include such classics as Free Willy 2 and the second Anaconda movie, and the lead actor’s biggest role to date was an uncredited background appearance in Batman Begins. But hey, at least it’s not directed by Uwe Boll, and if nothing else it will undoubtedly stay true to the franchise’s long running tradition of revealing clothing.

Hollywood may not be treating video games seriously, but at least it’s starting to treat them erotically.
