New Japanese TEKKEN poster

TEKKEN cut

TEKKEN was probably one of the first Playstation games I owned. I used to always have my friends over to play, and we would have bracketed tournaments. And,just like every great video game series, a movie version of TEKKEN is being soon-to-be-released.

Most video game movies make fans sigh and wonder why Hollywood bothered (STREET FIGHTER), others make fans jump with excitement because they look so good (PRINCE OF PERSIA). Nobody knows with TEKKEN, though, because we don’t know much about it. TEKKEN is set for release in Japan in March 6th, 2010 by Warner Bros., but this poster might create some buzz in the states. You can check out the poster after the jump! Continue reading “New Japanese TEKKEN poster” →

Taylor Lautner is going to CANCUN

Taylor Lautner

Taylor Lautner is a lucky dude, and it looks like he has hit the big time. After helping make TWILIGHT a gajillion dollars, this kid has so many opportunities opening up for him. Summit, the production company that brought us TWILIGHT, isn’t ready to give up this (usually shirtless) moneymaking machine.

They will make a movie called CANCUN, an action flick about a college couple who goes vacationing in, you guessed it, Cancun. Much to Taylor’s dismay, his girlfriend is kidnapped by a drug cartel and it is up to him to save her. The movie is said to make use of Taylor’s skills at martial arts, the kid is a champion!

I actually am excited about this movie. No, I’m not really expecting anything amazing, but I think this could be fun. I really hope that they make a pretty heavy focus on the martial arts, and not so much on explosions and other eye candies. Last week while hosting “SNL,” Taylor showed off his martial arts skills and killed it. Keep your eyes open for this movie, I know I will.
