Anchor Bay Films has acquired the distribution rights to Tekken (the movie), a live-action adaptation of Namco Bandai's fighting game franchise. Produced by Crystal Sky Pictures, the film is expected to be released "widely" in the United States next year, reports ComingSoon.net. (The movie premiered in Japan this past March, courtesy of Warner Bros.)

"The Tekken video game franchise has sold millions of copies over the past decade," said Anchor Bay president Bill Clark. "Crystal Sky has invested millions in the production, making sure they were able to convey not only the incredible fight scenes, but also the emotional journey of the main character, Jin" (as seen above). The movie has grossed just over a half million dollars to date, according to Box Office Mojo.

Two words, folks: Flame pants. Nothing says "iron fist" quite like Jin Kazama's classy couture, and these latest shots from the upcoming Tekken film deliver in spades. Be assured, this ain't no fan-made hullabaloo -- we can clearly see someone spent at least a couple hundred bucks making this thing. The film hits Japanese viewers on March 20 and presumably arrives on US shores in the not too distant future. But for now, why not get started on piecing together your Eddy cosplay? How could you resist those sweet contrasting colors!

Even if it's a bad thing, it's an inspiring reminder that even in a universe of chaos there are beautiful, comforting pockets of stability.

There's a trailer for the live action Tekken movie after the break, and it does not in any way look like a good movie. Now, hit your knees and thank the stars.

We were delighted (and frightened) when we heard casting details for the new Street Fighter flick, but we're a little less eager to learn the stars of a Tekken movie. We guess it's largely because we have a harder time keeping the Tekken stable straight (it's the one with Pepsiman, right?). Regardless, Kung Fu Cinema says they've obtained a slew of casting details.

The site lists Kelly Overton as Christie, Luke Goss as Steve Fox (we knew that one), Gary Daniels as Bryan Fury, Candice Hillebrand as Nina Williams, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa as Mishima, Darrin Henson as Raven, Ian Anthony Dale as Kazuya, Cung Le as Marshall Law, Marian Zapico as Anna Williams, and the UFC's Roger "Matador" Huerta plays Miguel Rojas.

Like Street Fighter, a movie based on Tekken is a terrible, terrible idea. But if we have to watch a movie filled with SF's C-listers or Tekken's several martial artists, we're leaning towards column B.

A film based on Tekken has been in development limbo for a while now, presumably for other reasons besides the fact that a movie based on Tekken is a very bad idea. Now it seems that the project is gaining significant momentum with the announcement of a director, shooting schedule and even a few plot details.

Variety reports that the film will be helmed by Dwight Little, who you might know from his work on the sequel to Anacondas, Murder at 1600 or Steven Segal's Marked For Death. He's also got some video game experience after serving as the director for Ground Zero Texas (wait, that had a director?).

Little says he'll begin shooting on Feb. 4 in Shreveport, La. from a script by frequent collaborator Alan McElroy (no relation) about "a rebel who rises up against the Tekken Corp. to seize freedom for his people." So, yeah, it's picking up steam. We're just not sure yet if the train is hurtling toward a brick wall.
