The casting is so wrong and why are they adding in a new character that was barely introduced to the games.

the plot sounds suspiciously similar to Mortal Kombat.

It's a fighting game so there will always be a fighting tournament... duh.

LOL, good answer. Hope there will be someone who is using BJJ or vale tudo in this movie, I dig BJJ where tap-out is the main objective instead of beating someone to death like the movie Never Back Down.

I'm surprised there's even a market for these type of movies. Who the heck go see these low quality flicks? Can they make profits with such projects? I guess so else nobody would do them, but it's really hard for me to understand.

There's a character called Craig Marduk in the games who uses vale tudo but I don't think he will be in the movie. If he is than he's most likely be played by Nathan Jones but it's not listed on imdb and I don't remember where I got this from.

One would assume these movies would be successful if backed by the popularity of the video games they're based on but the problem is, most of the time the creators of the video games would just sell their rights to whichever studio that want to make a film for a quick buck.

Usually movie like this doesn't need high-budget for example for a big action sequence. It only need some interesting environment where two or more person beating themselves to death.

For a 10-20 million should be ok, usually will get double of its budget combine with International box-office collection. For example DOA movie, sure its cheesy, but LOL, lots of guys want to watch Holly Valance changing lingerie on air or fighting in a soaked wet t-shirt and that include yours truly . So yes there is always market especially to all geek fandom, otaku and avid gamers.
