Asked about the possibility of a new live action Tekken film, as reportedly announced during the Cannes festival, franchise creator Katsuhiro Harada tweeted what seems like a partial denial, asking fans not to go “jumping the gun” in believing rumours. The first Tekken film was quite poorly received, with Harada himself judging it “terrible”.

The Hollywood Reporter has a story up stating that Ong Bak director Prachya Pinkaew will be lending his talents Tekken: Rise of the Tournament. The film is to be a prequel to the 2010 movie Tekken. The report also states the casting director is going to choose actors who resemble their in-game counterparts instead of going after more familiar stars. A release window or production schedule wasn’t provided.
