New Mortal Kombat movie

Saw this on TL and thought id pass on the news

#!

at least post the information on the thread, nobody is even sure if it will be a movie of a game.

that's one interesting take on Mortal Kombat...

much muuuuuuuuuch bettter than the ridiculous first two imo

Pardon my lack of developpement, i just thought it looked cool, being an old mk1/2 player I was somewhat excited and felt the need to link it to the world.

It definately looks much better than the other 2, especially the laughable second one.

For some reason I thought this guy was going to pop out of the shadows...














Lou Diamond Phillips

Ok, that was just fucking badass.

When I heard the Scorpion's voice I thought it was Jim Caviezel.

I thought the first one was pretty good actually, i had low expectations cause come on, mortal kombat lol? not to mention it was a solid moneymaker, 20mil$ budget and grosses like 120

Same.

Anyway, pretty violent teaser, looks like it could end up an R-rated version of the genre, which is obviously where it should have been all along, which will make it worth seeing imo. I'll at least throw it in the netflix queue for sure.

Its still pretty ridic and now even more far away from the games mythology but fuck Im gonna watch it if iI get the chance. Also lol at Baraka being a doctor

looks sick

cool

whaaaaaaaat, hope it turns out entertaining at least
will be interesting to see what sort of reimaginings other characters get too

i sux in english, what is the guy saying at the end about scorpion? who is that guy btw?
while i was watching the preview i was like... if their is no sub zero and no scorpion i dont waste my time watching the movie when it come out
.... finaly i was happy at the end^^

could be good

ever since sin city every talentless director wants to make a "dark and gritty" film but they think all it takes is to dim the lights down to almost nothing and have everyone talk in their best dark noir film voice. Its so fucking tacky. Sure, tacky in a diffrent way from the other mortal combat movies but its still so bad god

isn't sub zero supposed to be the good(less evil) guy in mk? i forget. i mustve had my info confused

sub zero's brother is good
not the real sub zero

i love johnny cage, y does he always die so fast...from a fast google i saw this movie is due to release in 2013 or something

johnny cage die so fast because you are the only one to like him
and yeah on IMDB its saying 2013

I wonder if the final boss will be like all the characters in 1 guy.
that would be original.

lol yea will it be the dude with all the arms?
looks like it could be good...

lol

But now we can't look foward to johnny cage doing the splits and then punching somebody in the balls

I remember trying to get to reptile in MK1 and being hyper tilted coz i could never double perfect or get the fatality right ;(

how could sub zero be good, he freezes you than shatters you into a million pieces

2013? fuck my life, seriously I get excited to see its 2013 you should've posted this when theres a preair already out on the net.

Inconsiderate bastard!!! :-( P.S. This does look decently, could deliver.

I forgot about that... that sux... close thread this movie will never happen anyways

yea mk1 was dope but man MK ANNIHILATION WAS SO BAD LOL FUCK HAHAHAH

no raiden ?
scorpion is teh hero anyway but still need some LAZERS

you never know, there's prob a lot of characters wich will remain hidden untill the movie comes out

looks pretty terrible. i'm just hoping it will cool 90's techno like the first two movies.

also it's kinda strange that they put a baby with Harlequin-type Ichthyosis in the movie.

imo the fact its violent and story revolves around the best MK character, scorpion = win

also barack is sick -.-

Loved it lol, Played the first MK games loads when I was a kid. No way for me not to love this xD

ya when the first MK games came out i was in heaven. so great. absolutely loved the first movie cuz i was having a total geek out.

this one is like an even darker twist on the MK series. I don't have high expectations but I know for sure i'll enjoy this regardless.

It's not a game trailer.

Viral marketing ftw, I'll be suprised if this doesn't get made now after 1 million youtube hits already.

What kind of marketing is that if it comes out in 3 years from now?

If I understand things correctly the film is in pre-production and the YouTube video is merely a teaser clip to hint at possible style and direction if it was to be produced. I presume it was released to garner viral interest and entice Warner Bros to take a shot with it and since it has received a million plus hits already it now probably will.

like 1m youtube hits means anything

same soundtrack plz

Tekken movie would be nice, I was sad when I watched the 2nd attempt of a street fighter movie, was so ridic bad. I have no idea why I can't recall the second mortal combat movie. All I remember is..

Find your animality

mality....

mality........

no way they're going to do the same sound track, but that would make things a bit more fun and nostalgic. for the trailer, the upbeatness of the old soundtrack wouldn't fit...at all....

They already made a Tekken movie. Came out earlier this year and it's just as shitty as the Dead or Alive movie.

Holy shit is the one henchman from the hangover playing Scoprion? Lol that's awesome.

edit: a google search confirms it. I guess his real name is Ian Anthony Dale. It's hard to take him as serious like Scorpion when he's such a jokester on The Hangover out takes.

It's 2 million now. You think it doesn't show a lot of interest in a new Mortal Kombat movie then?

1.

JAX DOOD. you'd think half is name falling off the nametag on door would be a hint


2. 5:24. DOOD SCORPION IS BEFORE ENDING



edit: to be fair tho. scorpions name isn't well known.




oh and neither Sub-Zero or Sub-Zero Jr are evil. what?

lucifer, i wasnt refering to jax, i was refering to the guy taht get interviewed by jax, who is it
and yeah i said at the end i was happy because scorpion is there , same for subzero
-.-
and sub zero is evil -.-
edit : ohhhhhhhhhhh i watched it again, the guy getting interviewed IS scorpions!!!!<3
edit : when i watch it again...well it was very easy to understand, lol, volume was too low the first time i guess xD

oh right you missed the scorpion thing even when they use his more famous name


explains it ^^.





Why is Sub-Zero evil. (killing everybodys favorite Scorpy doesn't count)

maybe because i said i sux in englihs and maybe i didnt understood some parts?
your a moron lucifer
stop trying to look smart
are you trying to be the new baal?

Umm, even if the volume was too low. The guy who plays Scorpion says..."My name is Scorpion" at the very end. In a very deliberate, concise, and loud manner.

U deaf?

oh
and inbefore you use that retarded pic you already used 50000 times
yeah im serious

maybe i just missed it? maybe i wasnt concentrated at the end, maybe someone spoke to me on msn or at my place
maybe one millions reasons?
why do i have to explain myself?
thats fucking retarded

errrr.

New Baal? I've been here 1 month shorter than him, 2 months longer than you. BUT YAAAH IM NEWWWW AROUND HERRR.

In short. I've always been like this but you haven't always been a whiny moron.




Not sure why you're taking everything so personal. I found the situation amusing. That's all.




Still like to hear arguments on Sub-Zero's evilness.



edit:

Engage: Would you please get me an apple, lucifer?
Lucifer: Ok sure *brings a banana*
Engage: I said an apple lol.
Lucifer: Oh lol sorry I got confused
Engage: haha silly.
Lucifer: haha.

Engage: Would you please get me an apple, lucifer?
Lucifer: Ok sure *brings a banana*
Engage: I SAID APPLE
Lucifer: Oh lol sorry I got confused

You go to hell and die.

I never understood the storyline at all and still don't. So I guess that makes it easier for me not to be bugged by a reimagining, and one that actually looks like it could be a fun action movie. Nothing special but entertaining.

It's official! There will be a new Mortal Kombat movie. It's going to be produced by New Line.

http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=82709

CS: This is some big news! Congratulations! Can you say, in your own words, what today's announcement means for you?
Kevin Tancharoen: It's very exciting! I'm so happy that I've been a gigantic fan of this title since I was a little kid. This is a dream come true for me. I'm really happy that New Line and Warner Bros. saw the potential after the "Mortal Kombat: Legacy" webseries we did and the numbers that the videogame has done. I'm extremely grateful because it's been a big, big journey for me.

CS: It seems like it wasn't all that long ago that your original short was leaked online and everyone was raving about the look of it.
Tancharoen: Yeah! Oddly enough, that wasn't originally supposed to make it online. I had intended to make that for private use because I can't deny that my background is very musical. It comes from "Fame" and Britney Spears. I knew that, because of that, no one was going to give me the money to do the stuff that I really wanted to do, which was action, horror films and genre movies. Comic book adaptations. The kind of stuff that I grew up infatuated with. I made that because I knew that nobody was going to give me a shot and I had to do it myself. I made it to send around to executives. The reason that it went online is actually something that makes me seem a little stupid. I wanted to send it out to some colleagues for some input. I wasn't even completely done yet. The file was like two and half gigs and I don't have an FTP site. I'm not that fancy. A friend of mine said, "Hey, you can do it for free on YouTube. Just make the link private and whoever has the link will be the only ones who can see it." I stupidly, because I'm not YouTube saavy, didn't know how to make the link private. I thought I did and it then went public. It was up there and I was actually very nervous when it went public because I thought I was going to get in a mess of trouble.

CS: Well, it certainly paid off!
Tancharoen: I know! It would have a been a great thing if I had meant to do it from the get-go. It would have made me look a whole lot smarter.

CS: How long has the film version been in discussion? Is this something that has just been decided on today?
Tancharoen: The idea has been floating around even before I made the short film. I was on the mixing stage at Warner Bros. and I had heard about Mortal Kombat and went, "Oh my god! That's amazing! I know how to do that. I know how to do fight sequences. I know how to choreograph it." After that, it kind of went away. Then, after the web series did so well, we started talking seriously with New Line about doing a film. They were like, "The numbers are proven and they really like the style and the storytelling." They said we should go for it.

CS: Is this something that's going to continue elements of the web series?
Tancharoen: No, this is a new take and it's not going to continue directly off of the web series. There will be elements that are familiar to the people that have watched it, but it is its own movie. I wanted to make sure that, regardless of anything else, that it's a good movie. It doesn't have to be something that you will have had to have seen all ten episodes previously to understand or have played the videogame to understand. It'll live on its own and be its own film and will hopefully be something that can continue on. It's such a big story that you could have two or three movies, but I want to make sure that the first one is good on its own.

CS: One of the cool things about "Mortal Kombat" as a property is that everyone knows what it is and the mythology, for anyone, can range from "people fighting" to something much deeper.
Tancharoen: Exactly! And I've always been a fan of properties that have been able to expand their universe in different ways. The easiest example for me to mention is Batman. You have Batman, the Nolan films, which are their own universe. Right now, you've got Batman: Arkham Asylum, which is another completely different universe. Then you have all the Batman animated stuff, which is a series of completely different takes. Yet it's all based around the same idea of concept and character. I do think that Mortal Kombat is big enough that you can allow for that kind of character and let in multiple forms of storytelling.

CS: Is it too soon to say which characters we might be seeing in this?
Tancharoen: That I have to keep a secret for now, but you will be seeing a lot of your favorites. That I can guarantee!

CS: What about cast members of the web series? Any chance they'll reprise their roles or pop up for cameos?
Tancharoen: That's another one that I'm not able to answer yet and I do apologize for that.

CS: What's the timeline looking like? When is production being targeted?
Tancharoen: They want to shoot early next year and hopefully get it out in 2013.

CS: So the script has been written?
Tancharoen: We've got a good draft of the script, but we're still working on it with Oren Uziel, who wrote the short. It's great. It's really great.
