Just when you thought you’d seen the last one, Corey Yuen jumped on the bandwagon to produce another adaption: Dead or Alive. To be released in the fall of 2006 to North American theatres, DoA follows a growing trend of videogame-to-film adaptations to be released next year, including Mortal Kombat: Devastation , starring Robin Shou as Liu Kang (who also stars in the Dead or Alive adaptation as a “Pirate Leader”), and Tekken (which will star Jet Li). Next year is the definately going to be a good year for fans of martial-arts.
