June 17, 2005 - Tecmo and Constantin Film have announced that the game-to-film adaptation of Dead or Alive is now filming under the direction of Transporter helmer Cory Yuen.
Based on the popular fighting game franchise, Dead or Alive is billed as "Charlie's Angels meets Enter The Dragon." The film stars Jaime Pressly (Not Another Teen Movie), Holly Valance, Devon Aoki (Sin City, 2 Fast 2 Furious), Sarah Carter (Final Destination 2), Kane Kosugi (Godzilla: Final Wars), Natassia Malthe (Elektra), Matthew Marsden (Black Hawk Down) and Eric Roberts (National Security, Spun).
The studio and developer announced that shooting on the Impact Pictures production is underway in The Yuzi Paradise, Guilin and in The Zhejiang Hengdian World Studios China. The production will later move to Hong Kong where its expected to wrap.
In a statement, producer Jeremy Bolt said, "Our locations are epic, and the local crews and stunt teams are simply remarkable. We feel lucky to be here, and Cory Yuen has done an astonishing job in training our cast. The action sequences are truly awesome."
The DOA script was penned by J.F. Lawton (Under Siege, Pretty Woman), Adam & Seth Gross (Devour), and Granz Henman. Jeremy Bolt and Paul W.S. Anderson are producing.
There are no details on the film's story, but we're sure they'll work some hot volleyball action in there somewhere.
