Erm.. we have people talking about having Wesley Snipes playing Raven, which is good and all, but let us remember that this movie is not going to be MK Annihilation, where every character is poured onto the screen without explanation. If you guys think this movie will contain all the characters from Tekken 5 you'll be greatly mistaken. Take the story from the first and second Tekken games. Now this would be a great starting point for the movie where we can start by introducing the Mishima Zaibatsu, the whole deal with Heihachi and his son and stuff. The movie then can move forward with lots of drama, action and possibly comedy (i said possibly!). We want this to gradually build on itself, and not pile all characters into one. If we want to know each of the characters and their stories well enough tpo relate to the characters we'll need plenty of time (and sequels) to understand em all. Think Star Wars. It's great that you guys are thinkin about all the characters but be reasonable in thinking and don't think that this film is going to involve everyone from all the tekkens, cos it aint gunna happen (unless the director is a 5 year old kid who's just bought Tekken 5 - which he isn't).

I agree with most people when you say that Jackie Chan should play Lei Wulong, obviously because the original character was based on Jackie himself so yeh good choice. Now about Jet Li, i doubt he'll star in this movie as he has given a statement where he said that he would do one more movie and then he would retire from his martial arts career, and i'm afraid this isn't the movie he was talking about. But please, again i'm going to reiterate, don't think that A-List celebs are going to be any good in Tekken, because frankly they aren't. I mean maybe Keanu Reeves is an A-List celeb that found fame and has a good sense of martial arts, but we have to see it this way - Just because someone looks like a character, doesn't mean they will be any good, i mean fighting wise. If this movie is to be any good, the actors have to be able to pull off an amazing array of martial arts, have good acting skills and not have some look-alike stuntperson with a wig on doing stunts to prevent little miss A-List celeb from breaking her $50m insured fingernails.

I'll have more to say when i can think of something to say
