New Info on Live Action Dead or Alive Revealed

The Hollywood Reporter has learned that the live action Dead or Alive movie from Impact Pictures will be produced by Impact Pictures founders Jeremy Bolt and Paul W.S. Anderson, director of the Resident Evil and Mortal Kombat movies. The script will be written by J.F. Lawton (“Pretty Woman,” “Under Siege”). The $30 million budgeted film is now scheduled for release in 2004 to coincide with the release of the Dead or Alive 4 fighting game from Tecmo.

The PG-13 rated film will combine martial arts with humor, and a bit of beach volleyball since the movie rights include Tecmo’s Dead or Alive Xtreme Beach Volleyball game for the Xbox.
