There are plenty of stuff we would really want to see on the big screen. Mostly because of nostalgia, stuff we've grown up with when we were still children. If you are a 1990 kid like me, then you'd definitely know what I'm talking about the creation of the X-Men trilogy, the Transformers and the upcoming Speed Racer. All of which was really popularized by their respective animated series in the 90s (Although the X-Men was originally from the 60s....).
Now, we see plenty of WILD and pretty mind-blowing news of comics, television shows and books that we have read when we were younger! Here's a little list of upcoming movies that will soon appear in the few later years. That is of course the Mayan Prophecy of Apocalypse is false.
One of the news that really got me excited when I heard of it is Tekken. Tekken is a video game that released in the 90's Sony Playstation. It was a fun game, one of the first fighting game's I've ever played.
In 1998 they created an anime movie, it both received praise and distaste from both fans and casual movie-goers alike. It was praised for it's marvelous 'realism' in fighting styles, but booed for the bad English dubbing by English listeners (Jin's voice was compared to Vegeta's from DBZ).
But this time, English viewers needn't complain about dubbing this time. Speculation of a Live Action Tekken movie was released and confirmed. IGN and IMBd has posted the following plot and revealed that the movie once again revolves around Jin Kazama. It's some story about uncovering evil and darkness with an old monk named Zhen. I can't wait for this film! Casting has already begun and the following actors were cast for these characters:
Luke Goss Playing as Steve Fox. The dodgy boxer that kicked my ass when using Capoeira.
Cung Le as the Kick Axe Marshall Law
Kelly Overton as the Capoeira counterpart of Eddie Gordo - Christie Montiero.
Tekken shall appear anytime soon, say around 2009?
Dragonball Z
Then comes the popular Dragonball Z and yes it will be Live action! It is to be released on April 8, 2009! The popular anime series that had unsuccessful attempts to make itself evident in the U.S. but extravagant in other countries.
But what the hell!? Im excited nonetheless... I'm still kinda curious to how they'll pull the movie off. Anime is so hard to replicate...
