Hollywood director Dwight Little got his start working on hit action movies like Steven Seagal’s Marked for Death and Rapid Fire with Brandon Lee. These days, he’s behind the lens of some of TV’s most popular shows, including “Bones” and “Castle.” The director worked with Namco Bandai to bring the live action Tekken movie to Blu-ray and DVD from Anchor Bay Home Entertainment. Little talks about the new movie and what’s in store for the franchise in this exclusive interview.
See how the franchise and console intertwined over the years.
NetherRealm confirms its Mortal Kombat franchise has sold over 80 million copies in the last 30 years, and here's how it competes against other fighters.
Don't care what anyone says, Smash isn't a traditional fighting game. May as well call Powerstone and Playstation All Stars fighting games. They're more of an arena fighter /party game.
Including Smash Bros in a list of fighting games, is like including GTA in Racing games.
Tekken's enduring popularity is owed in part to its varied and well-written cast of characters, and the lore behind them really brings them to life.
Basically all Tekken 1 standard characters except Michelle, + boss Heihachi Mishima and maybe Kuma. Also Lei and Jun from Tekken 2, Hwoarang, Eddy,Xiaoyu, Bryan Fury, Mokujin, Jin- from Tekken 3. After that they added many more great characters but none of them used to be as fun and interesting as the fleshed out initial ones from the first 3 games. Tekken 7 was really weak when it came to new characters.
And to be honest..that "article" that does not even have Yoshimitsu in it looks like a cheap excuse to have the keyword Tekken 8 on the website.
I'm not so sure the game has anything to do with the movie either.
"Director Dwight Little Admits Namco Bandai Wasn’t Involved in Tekken Movie"
SHOCKING...
Actually not...this is the par of the course for video games turned movie.
Almost ALWAYS the creators of the games are never involved in the making of the movie or they have very little input...It's the reason 99% of those movies turn out to be hulking masses of crap.
This also happened to Max Payne...
Remedy was not involved at all in that movie and the results showed.
God I can list numerous movies that sucked so bad because of this.
Ah Hollywood...all about the money...
Lord help us when the Uncharted Movie hits...one can only imagine how that will turn out
Despite having some decent fight scenes, the film was an insult.
It wasnt very reassuring when the director said he never played a game before realising what Tekken was, or the fact he has absolutely no interest in games whatsoever, and primarily focuses on film, and he also says his children play games like Madden and Modern Warfare.
Those arent games you want be displaying out in front of fans who truly no how shit those games are.
like always every video game movie is! please tell me that naughty dog helps neil burger make the uncharted movie!
