Tekken the movie (live action)

[seanyseanybean]

I hear they are making a (live action) movie of the awesome beat em up game series Tekken.

This is a question to fans of the games..

Who do you think should play the characters? Now this is just for fun, so they can be alive or dead, and you can specify someone at a certain period in there life. Your choices should be based on looks and style.

Heres a few that i think would be great...

Craig Mardok (Vale Tudo) - Mark Coleman
King (Pro Wrestling) - The Rock or Mark Kerr
Yoshimitsu (Samurai arts) - Genki Sudo (check out his samurai entrance)
Law (JKD) - Bruce Lee (of course )
Heihachi (Mishima Karate) - Mas Oyama
Baek Doo San (TKD) - Hwang Jang Lee (in his prime)
Lei Wulong (5 animal/drunken boxing) - Jackie Chan (prime)
Bruce Irving (muay thai) - Remy Bonjasky
Raven (ninjitsu) - Wesley Snipes

I'll leave some for you now

Tekken Actors?

I'm usually very skeptical about comic or video games to live action films. They usually don't translate well. The Tekken Anime was horrible. I feel that could have be done so much better. However if the script and direction was good, and I had my choice of actors/mma fighters it would be:

Craig Marduk: Bobb Sapp all the way.
King (Pro Wrestling) Mark Coleman, The Rock, or Mark Kerr
Yoshimitsu: Sakuraba or Genki Sudo
Law: Donnie Yen
Baek Doo San: Eric Roberts from "Best of the Best"
Lei Wulong: Jackie of course! It's based off him anyways.
Bruce Irvin: Remy, Mike Macdonald, or Ernesto Hoost (not sure)
Raven: Wesley Snipes or Quinton "Rampage" Jackson
Heihachi: Van Damme /w good makeup.
Brian Fury - Dolph Lundren
Lin Xiouyu - Lucy Liu
Paul - Hugh Jackman
Jin - Rumina Sato or Takeshi Kaneshiro with muscles.

Craig Mardok (Vale Tudo) - Mark Coleman
King (Pro Wrestling) - The Rock or Mark Kerr
Yoshimitsu (Samurai arts) - Genki Sudo (check out his samurai entrance)
Law (JKD) - Bruce Lee (of course )
Heihachi (Mishima Karate) - Mas Oyama
Baek Doo San (TKD) - Hwang Jang Lee (in his prime)
Lei Wulong (5 animal/drunken boxing) - Jackie Chan (prime)
Bruce Irving (muay thai) - Remy Bonjasky
Raven (ninjitsu) - Wesley Snipes

I'd rather see a live film version of Dead or Alive: Beach Volleyball.

Just my Opinion

When it comes to making a movie based on a games series (street fighter, tekken, mortal kombat, dead or alive, and so on), they should make into a 10 part series. It would be too hard to fit all the characters in 2 hrs
