No matter how you look at it, game-to-movie adaptations tend to fail horribly.  There are a few exceptions, though I can't think of any off the top of my head; anyway, the King of Fighters live-action flick won't be so lucky.

Images first popped up in June, and a trailer has been circulating the net since then.  It's a behind-the-scenes look at the movie with commentary from director and staff.  Listening to the creators usually gives us a deeper insight into the project, often resulting in greater appreciation.  That's not the case here.

Liberties have been taken, like that skinny British Rugal with a cigar and fedora.  Apparently Terry Bogard works for the CIA and joins the tournament to investigate this "secret society."  Bogard's actor, David Leitch, casually boasts, "If you like video games, you're going to like this film."  We're pretty sure that's a fib. 

If you're a King of Fighters fan, this movie isn't for you, and the trailer alone may be enough to send bad chills down your spine.  Feel free to hit the "Pause" button any time...
