Since Goss was on the line, it only made sense to bring up Magdalena and Tekken. He confirmed that Magdalena, producer Gale Anne Hurd's big-screen adaptation of the Top Cow comic book, looks likely to roll next year. As for the long-completed Tekken, based on the popular video game franchise, Goss—who plays a British boxer—insisted that despite rumors to the contrary it will open in U.S. theaters next year.

"You will see it in the States, for sure," Goss said. "You will. There has been some speculation that it will be going DVD, but it will definitely be a theatrical release here. I saw it about a month ago at a private screening, and I have to be honest with you, it's cool as hell. It's really, really good. It's been through a number of evolutions as far as cuts and composing and score, all the other stuff, and making sure the colors are as dark as they wanted. It's R-rated. It's cool. I'm really, really happy with it."

Al Norton: What's going on with Tekken? Is there a release date? Is it going straight to DVD?

Luke Goss: I heard a rumor about straight to DVD and I know for a fact that someone's misleading someone. It's definitely going to be a theatrical release. It was always made for theaters and was not made in any way, shape, or form for the DVD market. I mean, of course it will come out on DVD after the theaters.

It's cool. The one thing about Tekken is that the story is truly funded by the game. Mortal Combat and Tekken are the two granddaddies of those games. I saw Street Fighter last year and I've got to be honest with you, it was a pile of pants. It was terrible. What did that have to do with the game? With Tekken they said, "we've got to incorporate the game into a feature film", not just watching some UFC dudes kicking the crap out of each other for two hours. It's more leaning towards the sensibilities of Blade Runner, that kind of color. It's got a lot more in common with Blade Runner than it does with one of the non-masterpieces of film history, DOA, which was just bloody terrifying in how bad it was.

I think the fans will be happy. I watched a screening of it and it's cool as *beep*

Does this help you any?
