Re: New Mortal Kombat Movie?

IMDB says a new Mortal Kombat flick is due out in 2013, which makes this video seem too early to be a look at the new movie.

I caught a screencap of the frame with SubZero, and it sort of looks like a video game representation...

Im pissed they made my fav character look like a cancer patient...I'll be even more mad if thats how he's gonna look in a game...

Re: New Mortal Kombat Movie?

I enjoyed the first one myself, but I must say after watching that preview, I'm really looking forward to seeing this. I thought it looked great.

Re: New Mortal Kombat Movie?

I'd see the rest of that movie if I could, without a doubt.

Anything where Scorpion is the main character/character we follow...I'm in no matter how crappy (and that little video was pretty damn good).

Re: New Mortal Kombat Movie?

As long as the title song isn't actually "MORTALLLLLLL KOMMMMMBAAAAAAATTT"! You probably don't want to have a CD with that title. Doesn't work for most movies, actually.


FORESTTTTTTT GUUUUUUMMMMMPPPP! See.

Re: New Mortal Kombat Movie?

Loved the first movie.

I hope/wish this is the reboot, as it looks incredible. If it's the game, then I also have high hopes.

Re: New Mortal Kombat Movie?

This looks amazing!!!! Cannot wait. like everyone else, I loved the first one, 2nd one.. ehhh.. but this one looks cool.

Just how they explained the situations of Reptile and Baraka gave me chills!!

And from the screenshot of Sub-Zero.. I was trying to figure out how they'd be able to give him his freezing powers.. But it looks like he's in a Cryogenic Chamber suit...

Re: New Mortal Kombat Movie?

I would definitely like to see a movie version of it, if it truly exists. Its strange seeing it go the real route vs the high fantasy. Even if its for the game, can't wait to see how they do it

Gamespot doesn't know whether it's a game or a movie, but says it could be both...

Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe was a commercial hit, but some fans of the Midway fighting franchise balked at the less-than-ultraviolent level of violence in the crossover. That likely won't be a concern with the next big Mortal Kombat project, no matter what form it takes.

...

The clip doesn't specify whether it's promoting the next Mortal Kombat game or another film, but the brand is in for a reboot in both media. Creator Ed Boon has said he's working on taking Mortal Kombat 9 back to the series' hyper-violent roots, while reports surfaced earlier this year that Warner Bros. had secured a screenwriter for the next film based on the franchise

Re: New Mortal Kombat Movie?

Please let it be a movie. I hope there's another old-school violent MK coming out...but I want THIS to be about a movie coming out because this clip is badass.

Re: New Mortal Kombat Movie?

All the people over at Rivals are all talking about how good it looks and everything. I Laugh, it looks terrible.

And it is a movie. Coming out in 2013.

Michael Jai White and Jeri Ryan's IMDb profiles don't currently mention anything about a new Mortal Kombat movie, but a new video clip clearly intended to introduce a Mortal Kombat movie employed two actors who bear striking resemblances to Black Dynamite and Seven of Nine. The new take on MK doesn't have any credits attached, nor does it look like Paul W.S. Anderson's "Mortal Kombat." It does, however, make you wonder if there isn't going to be a big movie announcement coming to E3.


The demonic energies and extra-dimensional elements seem to be all sapped out of the MK short acquired by Kotaku. Instead, the new takes on the best known bloodbath in fighting games opts for a distinctly more "Saw"-ish horror approach with some high-octane one-on-one combat slipped into the plot.

Purists may disapprove of the bare-faced Scorpion and deformed human version of Reptile who appear, but conceptually this is a movie I could get behind. "Mortal Kombat" originally hooked me with its old-style kung-fu movie look stuffed with random moments of cartoonish absurdity and violent excess that snuck in over the course of its first two sequels. The subtle nods to the video games' continuity and mythos here seem to operate the same way. I love the pacing.

If this is for real, it looks like it could be the first MK movie to really understand an effective use of gore in the context of its story as well. I don't know who made it or where it ultimately came from, but I want more.

Re: New Mortal Kombat Movie?

I think the blatant/obvious name dropping was corny, but the story seems interesting and if they can add some polish to what's on show in that clip it could be really fun!

Still, as much as I like how they've twisted the story into real people (as opposed to a fantasy universe) I don't think regular fighting would be all that entertaining without iceballs, fireballs, flying kicks etc... we'll see.

One dude has blades coming out of his hands, we saw Scorpion's weapon being used...I'm fairly sure that, while it'd be a more realistic approach to the story, you'll still see the crazy things such as Sub-Zero's iceball/freezing people, people doing crazy flying kicks, etc.

Random, but Michael Jai White is a perfect Jacks.

Re: New Mortal Kombat Movie?

I was just watching this, man this looks SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!

For all the people asking why Johnny Cage gets killed. Its because Johnny Cage was a traitor to the frachise. Daniel Pessina the actor that portrayed the Johnny Cage character, was hyping up another fighting game called Bloodstorm:

Re: New Mortal Kombat Movie?

Wow, I hope this was from the new movie. Looks awesome.

Re: New Mortal Kombat Movie?

Is it just me or does Mac(Rob McElhenney), look like he is taking his Karate from Always Sunny and playing Scorpion.
