Tekken: Blood Vengeance 3D hits US theaters, but only for one night
Namco Bandai's bear punching documentary Iron Fist opus Tekken: Blood Vengeance 3D will be landing in theaters across the country on July 26, where it will exist for 6 hours and then sublimate into the ether, never to be found or seen again. Unless it comes out on Blu-ray. But anyway! The one-night-only US showing will pre-date the Japanese release by a little over a month, and will be immediately followed by 20 minutes of interviews with various Tekken staff, including Cowboy Bebop alumni and screenwriter Dai Satō. You can plug in your zipcode at the bottom of this site to see if your local googolplex is participating in the festivities. [Thanks John!]
Tekken: Blood Vengeance movie rides a panda in 3D this summer
You'll be able to see the next Tekken release in 3D, making the act of a mohawked robot punching a bear more immersive than ever. You just won't be able to play it. Announced at a Namco Bandai event in Dubai, Tekken: Blood Vengeance is a new CG movie scripted by Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex and Cowboy Bebop writer Dai Sato, with animation by Resident Evil: Degeneration's Digital Frontier. You can see the first trailer (and its brief scene of panda riding) after the break. It'll be out in Japanese theaters this summer. In other Tekken movie news, Anchor Bay Films announced a North American release for last year's live-action Tekken film, which will hit Blu-ray and DVD on July 19.
