LEGALITY

As long the movie is similar to the short it going to be amazing hopefully they fix scorpion/sub-zero stories

The web series was awesome!

Awsome! I'll definately check it out once its released.

I hope they keep Michael Jai White as Jax.

I so hope this goes ahead.

It almost makes too much sense! Game movie deals never go down this well.

As long as they keep that Raiden storyline from the web series out, then I'm excited.

the web series was cool, some disappointing episodes but with a bigger budget i hope they knock it out....and into a pit of acid.

I hope he can break the stigma of live-action movies based on fighting games. I really do.

i like that theyr going realistic sort of like the nolan directed batman movies betr b awesome

Haven't seen the web series yet, was it any good?

I like Jeri Ryan, but don't bring her back as Sonya Blade. Maybe as Sonya's milfy sister Tanya Blade.

There were a lot of critics for his webpisodes. I hope he read the reviews and takes the good with the bad. There was a lot of good with his series but also a lot of bad, if he takes out the bad and figures out how to balance the context (a lot of it was unveven) it could shape up to be a good movie. I still am a fan of the first movie, it still holds up though cheesy at times, but the 2nd was just god-awful. I hope he takes his time with the script. A lof of the uneven context came from making some things very realistic and others supernatural which made the teeter-tooter uneven. I am for this upcoming movie but I just hope, for once, the director learns from the critics/reviews and makes a very good movie. I am fine with the movie being another "video-game-movie-tournament" like most fighting movies but he has stated, in the past, how passionate he was for the webisodes so I hope he definitely listens and learns patience. And one last thing....do not throw a lot of characters in the movie. This franchise is meant for sequels so do not throw more than you can handle it. Hate to bring it up buy Nolan has done a fine job of adding a lot of characters in and balancing them the right way. "The Dark Knight Returns" has a lot mroe charaters than his past movies but I feel he will do no wrong. I still regard MK1 as being the best videogame-movie adaptation, it has flaws, but the look of the movie, the context, and everything else fit just perfect, even though it was chees at times (no more MORTAL KOMBAT fight music! just make a score, a la Reznor). I do hoe he succeeds.

So the new movie series will be a reboot of the last series, which had nothing to do with the last game, which itself was a reboot?

My head is spinning.

I enjoyed the Rebirth short more than the Legacy web series, so I hope he goes more that route. I also hope it is a brutal R rated film. If it's PG-13, don't even bother....

After seeing the "Raiden" episode, I don't think they should give it to Kevin.

The first MK movie was good. The second one was not so good.

The first thing that went wrong with the second one was that Raiden was portrayed as being a weak god (which is why the person who played Raiden in the first movie refused to do the second one because of that). The second thing that went wrong was that they had every chara in the game, where most of them were on the screen for about 10 secs and then they were dead.

If a new movie is made it needs to be by a new producer not the same one who did the old movies. This new movie also needs to be just as great as the new current gen game of MK that came out.

Good for him. I very much hope it all works out; love the web series.

Gotta squeeze in "Those were $500.00 sunglasses asshole" somewhere.

So glad they're doing this!! I think the director Kevin T had the perfect angle with the self-made self-funded short. I am completely convinced that the big-wigs at WB stuck their filthy hands and crappy ideas into some the productions. The proof for this was in the raiden episode. He put a disclaimer at the beginning of the 'sode saying 'this is my idea' and it was clearly the best of the series. He didn't put that on any of the other episodes. PLEASE NEW LINE CINEMA LET KEVIN DO HIS THING!!! THATS WHAT WE WANT!!

@xiaojiemff Cloth, just $15?! What a steal!

FINISH IT!

MORTAL KOMBAT MOVIE, GET OVER HERE!

And other such MK-themed aphorisms.

Boooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Realistic Mortal Kombat... How does anyone think that's a good idea? People actually liked body-mod-freak Baraka? No one was concerned that the implants under his skin appeared to be causing him no trouble while getting punched and kicked? I'm the only one who was surprised that he wasn't dead from graft rejection long before he fought a professional martial artist?

This is a game about an inter-dimensional fighting tournament. The most famous characters shoot roped spears and balls of ice from their hands. You can't make these things realistic without making them far less plausible. This movie is going to be an uroboros of suck.

Will Freddy Krueger be in it?

I just watched the web series again.

If Tancharoen continues the same continuity as the web series, I sense EPIC WIN.

Well, considering both the short and the mini-series sucked ass, I don't really have high hopes for this.

The short mutilated the MK lore, and the mini-series proved to be low-budget, poorly written crap in line with some high-end fan fic.

Unless they can do better than the first MK film (not great but the best attempt at game to movie adaptation yet), they might as well leave it alone and let us just play through the game's story mode. Would save everyone a lot of money and grief.

I hope it's more like Rebirth than Legacy. We really don't need the same MK lore being retold again.
