'''Tekken''' is the title of an upcoming film set to be released on 5th November 2009 (Releasedate tekkenzone.net). Little has been revealed about the new Tekken movie.

Tekken is being written by Michael Werb, Michael Colleary, and Hans Rodinoff. The director of the film is Dwight H. Little. It has been said that Charles Stone III will be one of the directors. Screenplay will be written by Alan McElroy.
'''''Notes:'''
*As more information comes to light, the list of cast members and what character they will portray will be added.
*The story's chronological placement with the games is not yet known, except that it is after [[Tekken 2]].
==Director's Words==
*Director Charles Stone III on the film:<br>
"''Tekken will not be anything like Mortal Kombat or any of the Lara Croft movies. You will get the feeling of Bruce Lee's Enter the Dragon. A chance to get to know the characters before the inevitable slap down. It will have plenty of 'A' list actors... Our budget is good so we shouldn't have problem there.''"
==Status==
According to a September 24, 2009 MMAMadness.com radio interview with Roger Huerta who plays Miguel Caballero Rojo in the movie, the film will premiere on November 5, 2009 in Santa Monica, California. However, an interview with Cung Le from around the same time revealed a very vague 2010 release.
==Plot Summaries==
'''The plot as revealed by Crystal Sky Studios, who are making the film:'''<br>
"''In order to put to rest the ghosts of his past, Jin Kazama enters the Tekken tournament, a fierce and dangerous competition featuring the world’s best martial artists. Following close behind him is Zheng, a rebel monk looking to save Jin from his own inner demons. While on the surface Tekken appears to be the corporation of the future, Jin and Zheng expose a dark underbelly that could threaten the very threads of humanity.''"

Based on the long running and highly successful Namco video game franchise of the same name, TEKKEN is a high-octane, action packed thriller written for the screen by Alan McElroy (Spawn, The Marine) and to be directed by Dwight Little (Anacondas, Murder at 1600) with fight choreography tentatively by Dion Lam (Spider-Man 2, Doom, Red Cliff)
Set in 2039, the film promises non-stop high flying action as the greatest fighters from around the world come to compete in the last and greatest sporting event of all time – the Iron Fist Tournament.  After World Wars destroy much of civilization as we know it, the remaining territories are no longer run by governments, but by corporations the mightiest of which is Tekken.  In order to keep the masses down, Tekken sponsors the Iron Fist Tournament in which fighters compete to the death for ultimate glory and receive a lifetime of stardom and wealth.
We are introduced to this violent world through the eyes of '''Jin Kazama''', a street fighter that enters the tournament in order to avenge the death of his mother that he blames upon Tekken’s powerful and controlling Chairman – '''Heihachi Mishima'''.  He knows that the only way to get close enough to Mishima to kill him is to win the tournament.  With the help of '''Lucas''', an ageing Iron Fist Champion and fight trainer, Jin makes his way through the tournament, but in doing so, he begins to uncover his own past and inner demons as well as exposing a dark underbelly to Tekken that threatens the very existence of humanity.
With futuristic and imaginative sets, a compelling story, and fight sequences combining fighting styles from all over the world – TEKKEN is in line to become one of the greatest action films of all time…
