According to horror film news site Bloody Disgusting, anonymous sources have revealed that Warner Bros. Pictures is currently looking to reboot its recently purchased, long dormant Mortal Kombat film franchise. "But Joystiq," you might be asking, "why has the Mortal Kombat film franchise been long dormant?" Our dear, naive readers: This is why the Mortal Kombat film franchise has been long dormant. If you've got friends at the WB, you should consider forwarding them that little slice of cinematic history.
Bloody Disgusting reports that Oren Uziel, a new screenwriter who penned a yet-to-be-produced murder mystery titled Shimmer Lake, is being considered to write the film. Now, we've never met Uziel, but we hope he heeds our advice: Take the job. We guarantee it will be the easiest writing gig you'll ever have.

Hey, at least Kitana and Mileena were hot in that movie. Sonya wasn't too bad either, actually.
Then Sheeva comes in the room and everyone throws up in their mouth just a little bit.

Good luck writing this script Oren Uziel. This would be a great way for you to...test your might.

Anybody remember the live action Mortal Kombat? I always liked it for its continuity within the series.

I liked it, but not because of continuity(Subzero and Scorpion already had a rivalry 1000s of years before Liu Kang was born). Kristanna Lokken as Taja ruled.

Meh thinks someone is looking to have a 20mil budget movie and hope it breaks 100mil in the theaters which will be easy after they hype it enough. But hasnt the MK game been rebooted a few times already?

MK is the best video-game-to-movie project ever. No arguments are tolerated.

While I remember it was roughly 2 years ago when i heard an unproven writer was rebooting a fighting game franchise on the silver screen, and now all I have is the regret of not having gone to see Watchmen instead...I think it's got a pretty good chance of being non-awefull. It's a WB backed film. It SHOULD at least have a budget. The only thing that worries me is that the mythology has grown significantly, and I fear it may be pigeonholed in the earlier parts of it, and we've already seen that. Show us Tanya and Li Mei. Show us Bo' Raicho. Bring on Onaga.

The first Mortal Kombat was good and the second one was worst so if Warner dicides if they reboot the franchise then that can be good it better stick the storyline and that Oren Uziel should pley the game and look at the games storyline before he writes the script I think Ed Boon will show Uziel on how the story goes and it needs to have less characters just like in the first movie.
So I think this will be a good start for the MK franchise.
Thank You.
