2010 Live-Action Tekken Film Has Prequel Being Planned

Crystal Sky, one of the production companies behind the 2010 live-action film adaptation of Namco Bandai's Tekken fighting games, is planning a prequel called Tekken: Rise of the Tournament. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Crystal Sky CEO Steven Paul is planning the prequel "as part of a franchise of movies."

In North America, Anchor Bay released the 2010 film direct to video. Dwight H. Little (Halloween 4, Anacondas) directed the film, which is separate from Digital Frontier's computer-animated film Tekken: Blood Vengeance.
