I see a lot of people thinking that some A-List actor would be perfect for the part of a character just because they "think" they look like the Tekken characters. If this movie is to be a success, it needs to make the right impression. Let's take some old Chinese Martial Art flicks: Jackie Chan's old movies, Sammo Hung's, Yuen Baio's, Chow Yun Fat's etc. They all are amazing to watch because of the genuine fighting sequences and the fact that they have studied the martial arts properly. I don't know about you guys but i find that it looks pretty stupid that, say, cameron diaz will be taught martial arts in a short space of time with the aid of a trainer and    some invisible wires would look pretty daft and obnoxious. We really need to look further to maybe lesser known actors who would be guaranteed to make a good show of both martial arts and acting. A perfect example is Zhang Ziyi from House of Flying Daggers, Rush Hour 2 and Hero. She has the knowledge of the martial arts and is a good actor, great combination. Even though i have no suggestions for Actors to portray characters from Tekken, i just think it should be better to actually find people who can fight, and not be some overblown hollywood starlett who looks stupid fighting off several Tekken Force soldiers. It should be thought out thoroughly. We don't want another Street Fighter on our hands!
