Ever wonder what "Mortal Kombat" would look like if given the Christopher Nolan treatment of taking a hugely popular series and making it plausible for real life?
Latino Review writes...
The short was directed by Kevin Tancharoen, who did the remake of Fame last year. Judging from this short, Kevin is the perfect director for this movie.
Jacks is played by Michael Jai White. Michael played Spawn and was in Undisputed II. Michael makes a great Jacks (Jax).
Sonya Blade is played by Jeri Ryan, who played Seven of Nine in Star Trek: Voyager.
Baraka was played by the very talented Lateef Crowder, who plays the Brazilian fighter in Undisputed III.
Scorpion is played by Ian Anthony Dale. Ian plays Kazuya in the upcoming big screen version of Tekken.
Johnny Cage was played by up and coming martial arts sensation Matt Mullins. Still working on who played Reptile. Will update when I find out.
The fight choreography was done by Larnell Stovall. Larnell did the fight choreography for Undisputed III and is one of the best fight choreographers in the business. You want to see the fights you deserve? Then you fans should DEMAND he be the guy in one charge for this reboot.
I know who might be playing Sub-Zero, but don't want to mention it in case it screws something up. He'd be perfect for the part.
This is a must watch...

mvzone.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=tech&action=display&thread=355Already made mention of it, but whatever. I don't think it will be the reboot of the movie franchise. The time of it being really close to E3 leads me to believe that this is a preview of what MK8 could end up becoming. Ed Boom himself said that MK8 would be shooting for an M rating. This would do it.

I loved MK as a kid... this looks like shit. I really wish they'd stop making video game movies.

Whoops, sorry. Seems like I've been late to the party with this one.
Anyway, JoBlo was reporting that this short is being shopped around Hollywood and could potentially become a full fledged film.

Whoops, sorry. Seems like I've been late to the party with this one. No problem. Happens to me all the time. ;D I loved MK as a kid... this looks like shit. I really wish they'd stop making video game movies. I'm in the same boat as you Vyper. Unfortunitely, it won't because of how much money the video game industry brings in every year. Is it really that difficult to make a video game movie that is better than average? I guess so. I am optimistic on this one though.
