A Tekken Movie Reboot Finds Financing From China's Financing City Network

Fans of the Tekken series may know about the current 2 Hollywood Tekken movies that were released but I've just heard of yet another Tekken movie currently being planned. This new Tekken movie hasn't been officially announced but it is set to be a reboot of the Tekken movie series which I'm guessing is to make better use of the franchise's story and characters and to of course, distance itself from the other Hollywood Tekken movies since they weren't exactly critical successes. The so called Tekken reboot finds financing through the Chinese business platform 'Financing City Network' through a 10 picture deal to produce Chinese and U.S movies with a combined production budgets of around $300 million within the next three years. There's not much other info to go on for the movie besides that for now but If you're interested in further details behind the Financing City Network deal, you can continue reading on the Variety article for source of the news below:
