Tekken: Rise of the Tournament

[Korly]

Hey guys! They're probably going to make another Tekken movie! Not just one Tekken movie either, SEVERAL Tekken movies! And it's going to be directed by the Ong-Bak guy!!!

Paul also plans Tekken: Rise of the Tournament as part of a franchise of movies. Based on a popular series of video games, it is a prequel to the 2010 movie Tekken, which was released on video in the U.S. by Anchor Bay as part of a 15-movie output deal signed by Crystal Sky in 2010.

Paul is hoping the prequel, directed by Prachya Pinkaew (Ong Bak), will get a domestic theatrical release although no deal is in place as yet. The movie will not have stars but will have actors who look like the characters in the video games.

The Paul mentioned in that quote sadly is not Paul Phoenix, but Crystal Sky CEO Steven Paul.

I really liked Ong-Bak (the 1st one anyhow) and I also enjoy Tekken. And they're going to have actors that look like the characters from the game so I have no reason to believe that this will be anything short of awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwesome! Look out Avengers, THIS IS IRON FIST!!!

Prachya Pinkaew is basically responsible for all the Tony Jaa movies that don't suck. The movie should have good fight scenes, at least.
