Sephiroth Posted February 25, 2002 Posted February 25, 2002 Tekken and State of Emergency movies announced A follow up to yesterday's news, Hollywood Reporter has reported that Crystal Sky has officially secured the movie rights to Namco's fighting series, Tekken. Crystal Skies reportedly paid $60 million for the specific rights. "The game has fun characters and is a wonderful story," said Steven Paul, president and CEO of Crystal Sky. "[Unlike some other games], this has a whole style of its own and is a really fun piece that is very commercial." In a related story, New Line Cinema has announced that State of Emergency for the PS2 will also be a feature film. Warren Zide and Craig Perry of the American Pie series will be producing the film, as they will take notes from SOE developer Vis Entertainment. "To be able to create a franchisable action movie that appeals to young audiences based on a highly successful video game is something we've been looking for, and State of Emergency is a perfect fit," Zide said. "We're thrilled to be producing this movie for New Line, which has shared our enthusiasm from the beginning." "They are a phenomenally talented bunch of individuals, and this is truly an honor for them as much as it is for the company," said Chris Van Der Kuyl, president of Vis Entertainment. "I'd like to thank them all and intend to get them partying very, very soon indeed.
King Penn Posted February 25, 2002 Posted February 25, 2002 lets just hope the tekken movie doesn't follow in the footsteps of the street fighter movie (shudders)

Though I haven't played State of Emergency I think it might make a fun movie. I don't really like the Tekken Games *hides under table* and I doubt the movie will turn out good. I could be wrong though, I though Mortal Kombat 2 was going to be good, lol.[/SIZE]
boris Posted February 25, 2002 Posted February 25, 2002 hey, mario was a high qualty movie........(every one stares at boris for a long time, then boris sees the knuckles and braces come out, oh no, help...........) but it looks good, i hope its good, and i know some guy will wait out side the theatr just to see it.... i wonder who?????
Charles Posted February 26, 2002 Posted February 26, 2002 Well, I'll have a wait and see attitude for these films. I'm personally shocked that they would release a State of Emergency movie, seeing as how the game was almost canceled because of the 9/11 tragedy. Well, at least they can't screw up the plot seeing as how there isn't much of one.
Fall Posted February 26, 2002 Posted February 26, 2002 Well I liked the Street Fighter movie, not so much this Mario one though.... :rolleyes: The Tekken movie sounds great, I think it'll turn out to be a big movie. :) And ummm.... what's State Of Emergency? Is it a game?

Guest Solid Snake Posted February 26, 2002 Posted February 26, 2002 [COLOR=teal]Please, are these movies planned to be released as live action or animation? The only reason I am asking is because I remember a Mario movie in live action, and a Street Fighter movie in animation. Sorry to be bothersum. They both sound very interesting, and I am excited to see how they play out. Hopefully the plot will not go in a whole different direction like the new Resident Evil movie. I thank you for putting this topic up.[/COLOR] :blah:
Sephiroth Posted February 27, 2002 Author Posted February 27, 2002 yeah, they will be live action.... and a tekken anime movie was already released some time ago, it was ok....

Tekken 4 isn't even out for PS2 in Japan yet. Heck, it won't be out in America until September. Don't be a fibber....
