Ever since its premiere in 1994, the Tekken videogame has
thrilled gamers and lovers of futuristic adventure across the entire world.
With millions of games sold on such gaming platforms as PS3, Xbox360 and PSP,
it seemed that Tekken would forever be confined to the limited graphics of
gaming consoles. Until now...
The videogame of the future comes to full live-action life when Anchor Bay
Films and Manga Entertainment release TEKKEN on July 19th. Directed by Dwight
H. Little ("Bones," Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers), TEKKEN stars
Jon Foo, Kelly Overton (The Ring Two), Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa (Planet of the
Apes, Pearl Harbor, Balls of Fury), Ian Anthony Dale (The Hangover, The Bucket
List), Darrin DeWitt Henson (Stomp The Yard, "Soul Food"), former world
champion kick boxer Gary Daniels (The Expendables), MMA fighters Cung Le
(Pandorum, Dragon Eyes), and Roger Huerta, Luke Goss (Hellboy II: The Golden
Army, Blade II), and Tamlyn Tomita (The Day After Tomorrow, The Joy Luck Club.)
A Crystal Sky Production, TEKKEN will be available as a Blu-ray/DVD/Digital
Copyâ„¢ combo for $39.99 SRP, as well as a standard DVD edition for $26.98 SRP.
Pre-book is June 22.
The year is 2039. World wars have destroyed everything and territories are run
by corporations, the mightiest â€" and cruelest -- of which is Tekken. Jin
Kazama (John Foo) witnesses the death of his mother Jun (Tomita) by Tekken in
the slums known as Anvil. Vowing vengeance, and armed only with his street
smarts and raw fighting skills, he enters a dangerous and potentially deadly
combat tournament, where he must defeat the world's most elite fighters to
become the "King of the Iron Fist."
TEKKEN also features such fight superstars as Lateef Crowder, world-renowned
expert in the Brazilian martial art Capoeira, and Anton Kasabov, multiple-time
U.S., European and World Champion in Tae Kwon Do.
