Actually looks pretty cool IMO. Some interesting reinterpretations of familiar characters. Not sure if this is fan made or what, looks pretty high quality.

That is really well done. I recognize the actors that play Sonia and Jacks, maybe this is legit.? Not sure, I haven't heard anything from it before but even thought I'm not a big MK fan, I would most certainly be looking forward to this film if it's real.

Okay that was too sweet, I hope it is real.  Always thought Michael Jai White would play a good Jax.  Though they change the story, but that doesn't matter since MK's original story was never good so changing the story is the best direction.

[DizzyTheConquer]

I'm usually the person who would stick to it's original story, but I think they're doing a new approach. Either way, It would be cool to see the human scorpion.

read the bold for the lil info on the trailer

Sequel



Production on a second sequel, titled Mortal Kombat: Devastation, was initially scheduled to commence shortly after the release of Annihilation, but it was shelved due to Annihilation's poor box-office performance. It consequently has remained stagnant in preproduction for over a decade, including being mired in development hell for a number of years with numerous script rewrites and story changes, along with the destruction of New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina, which greatly affected one of the shooting locations.[10] In June 2009, a bankruptcy court lawsuit saw Lawrence Kasanoff suing Midway, mentioning that a third film was in the works. Warner Bros. (which became the parent of New Line in 2008, after over a decade of both operating as separate divisions of Time Warner) ended up purchasing most of Midway's assets, including Mortal Kombat, the next month.[11]

Actor Chris Casamassa reported in July 2009 that he was reprising his role as Scorpion and claimed that filming would begin in September of the same year,[12] while Linden Ashby (Johnny Cage in the first film) said on Soap Talk that he read the script and planned on returning to the role.[13] However, the film still has yet to officially go into production, and no information about the project exists on the official MK website produced by Threshold Entertainment, which has not been updated since 2004.[14] Bloody Disgusting reported in January 2010 that Warner Bros. had hired Oren Uziel to write a new script of the reboot.[15] Paul W.S. Anderson, who had directed the original, expressed interest in returning to the franchise in a May 4 interview with G4, though he is not currently under consideration to do so.[16]

A trailer for a new film appeared on the internet in June, 2010, featuring Michael Jai White as Jax, Jeri Ryan as Sonya Blade and Ian Anthony Dale as Scorpion. It also featured Reptile, Shang Tsung, Johnny Cage and Baraka. Sources speculate that the trailer could indicate a reboot movie or a tie in for the next Mortal Kombat game. [17]

It looks like it could be a real movie. I'm kind of skeptical about making MK more realistic than it actually is, but I'll wait to reserve the rest of my judgement when I find out if this is real.

[Nilakantha]

Well thats good news because I know these folks wouldn't put that much effort for nothing.  I like how there were actual fatalities like MK was suppose to be.  It is possible that Shang Tsung is still connected to the Other Realm/Neitherworld/Whatever and they are not revealing it.  Possible Scorpion could still be from Hell, just wearing a face as disguise.  Baraka could still be from the Other Realm just living the life of a manic, but who knows I'm just speculating the trailer.

No. No. No.
Inside out man Reptile, dreads Baraka, weak Johnney Cage, and such a bad interpretation of Scorpion. *Hara-Kiri*

[Warcueid]

It would really suck if this is like an opening for the new game. Didn't Boon say he was rebooting MK? Heres hoping its a movie!

[Rage]

johnny was allways weak. thats y he died in the series. came back but died none the less.

Uh yeah and was the original MK story any better?  Its actually one of the worst video game stories ever, what kept it alive was the blood and gore.

The orginial Mk story was actually good i liked the story.. Its just when it got 2 ps2 the story went downhill from there. But damn i cant lie dis movie looks bad@ss dis story just might be better den da old ones.

[Spidermew]

Its an intresting idea to go with a more realistic approch. In a way its kinda like batman begins.

[Manic]

This looks pretty awesome. I'd definitely go see it. Sucks that they killed Cage, though. I also think Baraka's design is awesome, better than the original zombie design. But what I'm curious about is, did Scorpion kill Smoke or Sub-Zero? Jaxx said that he killed his brother, and Smoke is the original Sub-Zero.

IMO the Deadly Alliance-Deception story arcs were very good, that was the main reason because I liked those games. The introduction of new characters like Drahmin, Moloch, Havik and Kenshi to name a few were great. Actually I'm (or should I say I was?) a fan of Mortal Kombat (don't take into consideration Armageddon it was bad), and even when this concept looks cool... well, this reminds me nothing of MK (except for Jax, Sonya and Cage).

[Nilakantha]

I didn't take Deadly Alliance too seriously especially when Quan Chi makes an erection out of your head as a fatality.

Same. I even liked the early story.

well da mk 1 / 2 sub was da original and da one dat was killed 3 was da first appearance of sub zeros brother

[ATiC3]

Looks a tad too violent... but it's okay.. and did they.. did they just kill Johnny Cage again? lmao...

Also since when is Scorpion on the good guys' side? Sub-Zero was never on Shang Tsung's side if I remember correctly.. the younger brother anyways...

[Nilakantha]

I don't think Scorpion has an alliance since his clans is dead he just wants revenge.  And also isn't MK suppose to be violent  ?
