:eek:

holy crap if thats real this movie looks awsome

[El Tigre]

WTF! I kid you not, I was 5 minutes away from making a thread on this very subject, I guess great minds think alike.

Back on point, yeah, awesome doesn't begin to describe how I felt after seeing this trailer. At first I thought it was fake, until I saw that actor from Undisputed II and Spawn. Did a quick Google search, and yep this seems pretty legit.

The whole aspect of the MK lore being set in a realistic comprehension is a fresh concept, which is surprising when considering how far this franchise had been rode into the ground. Definitely looking forward to it.

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

That was awesome.

[PorkSoda]

Wow......looks awesome.

That Baraka looks much more intimidating than the Baraka in MK: Annihilation.

[Hornicane]

That does look pretty sweet, and this seems too detailed to be a fan made trailer, especially with Jeri Ryan in there. The idea of a reboot could be pretty awesome, considering how ridiculous the games have gotten.

[Juan]

holy fuck, i can't wait

[Shadow]

Wonder if they'll still have guys getting frozen to death or having their hearts ripped out.

And how will they handle Goro?

[thedamndest]

The Dark Knight treatment comes to Mortal Kombat. Looks pretty good though.

[McLegend]

That was pretty cool.

If Michael Jai White has a starring role in a movie it's probably not going to be good. I kind of think this fake though.

[DrA]

What was the department thinking putting a famous person like Johnny Cage undercover?

[Emperor Smeat]

What was the department thinking putting a famous person like Johnny Cage undercover?

Makes sense since he's like the Kenny of South Park in the series, always dying and somehow comes back to life each time.

[Jeritron]

The Dark Knight treatment comes to Mortal Kombat. Looks pretty good though.

That's what I was thinking the whole time too. It does look pretty cool though.
I wonder what "the tournament" will look like.
I thought for sure Michael Jai White was going to reveal himself as Raiden at the end.


What is all this 'possible' stuff? Is it not official?
It's clearly a real production, as Michael Jai White and Jeri Ryan are in it.
The only other possibility would be that it's an elaborate cinematic for a video game. I've never seen an 8 minute trailer before.

[McLegend]

That's one of the reasons why I don't think it's "real."

What you see is real obviously, but I think this Trailer is it. I don't think there is a movie.

[Jeritron]

Well in that case it would have to be part of a video game. I don't think they'd get Michael Jai White and Jeri Ryan for a fan film. Not that they're highly demanded actors, but they're still names.
I'm not sure. I wouldn't be suprised if it was to create big hype for a movie, but I also wouldn't be suprised if it was just a cut scene from a video game.

[Brujesino]

That's one of the reasons why I don't think it's "real."

What you see is real obviously, but I think this Trailer is it. I don't think there is a movie.

thats what i was thinking.I read somewhere the movie comes out 2013,why would they release a 8 minute long trailer 3 years before?

i hope iam wrong and this is a movie and comes out soon.

[Jeritron]

Actually the fact that the actors are that low rent might point to it being a video game. A Mortal Kombat movie might not attract A-listers, but if the project was going to be this ambitious you'd think they'd shoot a little bit higher for the cast.

[Jeritron]

Maybe Lou Diamond Philips is Sub Zero. Dean Cain and Antonio Sabato Jr. are also possibilities

[Jura]

Warner Bros. looking to reboot franchise, but Threshold Entertainment filed new breach of contract lawsuit to prevent it from moving forward.

'Mortal Kombat' Movie in the Works as a 7-Minute Introduction Arrives

44 minutes ago | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »

Ian Anthony Dale as Scorpion Talk of a new "Mortal Kombat" movie has gained steam over the past year or so and today it seems to have boiled over as a new seven-minute video starring Michael Jai-White as the video game character Jax and Jeri Ryan as Sonya Blade has hit the Internet and Chud has confirmed it is related to a new film. Devin Faraci writes: This is for the movie, and it comes from the mind of genius fight choreographer Larnell Stovall. He's the guy who did the fights for the excellent Undisputed 3: Redemption, on DVD and Blu-Ray right now. I hope that this movie gets made with Larnell plotting the punches, because this guy isn't just a geek like us, he's also got an incredible skill and ambition to create the next generation of fight choreography. I've only seen the 1995 version of Mortal Kombat based on the Midway video game, »

New ‘Mortal Kombat’ Film Trailer

1 hour ago | GameRant | See recent GameRant news »

Early this morning, a mysterious trailer for an unannounced Mortal Kombat project appeared on YouTube -- posted under the title Mortal Kombat Rebirth.

The trailer is over seven minutes long and features high production values -- including performances by Michael Jai White as Jackson “Jax” Briggs and Jeri Ryan as Sonya.

It’s unclear at this point whether the viral trailer will ultimately lead us to a new Mortal Kombat film or a new video game installment. However, given the real-world spin, I’d say we’re looking at a new film.

Check out the Mortal Kombat Rebirth trailer after the jump:

Looks a bit too ambitious for a fan-made trailer, right?

However, the logistics of a new Mortal Kombat film are a bit complicated. Warner Bros. was moving forward on a Mortal Kombat reboot -- with writer Oren Uziel already attached to pen the screenplay, but shortly thereafter, the »

Looks like it's a go. The Youtube account was made recently and it's the first and only video it has? Looks good. I don't know if anything is official yet since I see nothing about it on Michael Jai White or Jeri Ryan's imdb.com pages. I also see nothing on the Mortal Kombat page either. I'm thinking either things just got official today or this little trailer is a show of promise and things still are uncertain or unclear.

At first I thought it was cheesy to have these supernatural characters based on real people and becoming them because that kind of changes what we know about Reptile and Scorpion and Baraka but they are trying to make it workable and not so much like a video game movie.

But in a way they seem to have kept things the same. Jax and Sonia are the same with little differences. I have a feeling Scorpion is an assassin and Sub-Zero was a member of a Triad or Yakuza clan so they are basically the same. It's like just change the fact that they are on Earth and it's more modern times but it's still essentially the same. Like Romeo and Juliet in more modern times can the story of Scorpion and Sub-Zero be as well.

[Jura]

The Undisputed trilogy is not bad actually. I like the first one with Wesley Snipes but the third one I like because of the main character. With that said Scott Adkins needs to be in more cool movies. He's like a better version of Ray Park.

[Blitz]

What the hell, that was badass. Would see this movie in a heartbeat.

[D Mac]

Sweet.

Awesome, but looking at that now it's sort of another thing that leads me to believe this is related to some kind of video game.

[Bad Company]

Holy fucking shit. Jizzing myself right now.

[Juan]

Awesome, but looking at that now it's sort of another thing that leads me to believe this is related to some kind of video game.

Apparently it's a short made to sell the studio on the film.

[Jeritron]

Well the buzz seems big. It should work.

I was going to say, if it did turn out to not be for a movie, there would be such an outcry that they'd probably just use it for the upcoming movie anyways

[Rammsteinmad]

Looks fucking awesome. But not gonna lie, this film will seem all big and well-hyped, and will end up being one of the bigger-budget straight-to-DVD releasees.

[Crazy Nick]

I was immensely impressed by that clip there, I really hope it turns out to be a reboot of the Mortal Kombat film franchise.

[Rammsteinmad]

Also, Johnny Cage jobbing again. :nono:

[GD]

This is Awesome!

[LuigiD]

I loved it..with the exception of Johnny Cage getting killed..always been my favorite!
Reminds me of how after MK vs. DC, the Mortal Kombat guys were running their mouths about giving us a more mature MK. I am excited for the project either if its a movie or a game.

[XCaliber]

In some regards I think this is just a really well done fan film of some sort partly since Cage is dead plus the acting quality of the cop is worse then some done in the previous movies.

[Dirk Ziggler]

I think this might be the best movie news I've heard all year.

[KIRA]

This is real and Reptile looks fucking sick.

[Shadow]

In some regards I think this is just a really well done fan film of some sort partly since Cage is dead plus the acting quality of the cop is worse then some done in the previous movies.

Ever seen Spawn? that's pretty much how he's always acted. He's got a very...solid style of acting I guess. Nothing fancy but it makes sense in the context of the character.

[Cooler Tom Schuler]

It turns out that our eyes weren't deceiving us yesterday, and Jeri Ryan really was playing Sonya Blade in that mysterious Mortal Kombat movie short. According to the former "Star Trek: Voyager" actress, the movie was part of a pitch that an unnamed director made for Warner Bros. to try and sell them on a film franchise relaunch.


"Okay, so... Mortal Kombat. It's not a game trailer. Actually was made for the director to sell WB on his vision for a reimagined MK film," Ryan wrote on her Twitter account. "I did it as a favor to a friend. No idea yet what WB's reaction to it was. And I'm not sure how you can contact WB to push them to make it. But you guys are resourceful...! ;-)"

As an established face from the Trek universe, Ryan is no stranger to the vocal presence of large fan movements, and it looks like she wouldn't mind seeing the project get an extra push from the MK faithful who appreciated her work. Alas, without a confirmation from Warner Bros., we have no way of knowing whether or not they bit. But at least we'll always have this demo of what the movie could have looked like.

[Jura]

Holy shit. The guy playing Scorpion is the guy who played Ghost in the Matrix movies.

http://www.smh.com.au/ffxImage/urlpicture_id_1050777402659_2003/04/25/wongmatrix,0.jpg

Anthony Wong is the name of the guy who played Ghost. The guy that played Scorpion in this movie pitch is Ian Anthony Dale from The Hangover and is also Kazuya in the Tekken movie.

[ClockShot]

Jeri Ryan goes from a season of Leverage to this? Ok.

[Jura]

I hope she gets the part.

[Cooler Tom Schuler]

I doubt she wants it.

[D Mac]

Then why would she appear in that video, smart guy.

[Jeritron]

Friend of the director? That sort of thing happens all the time, by the way.

The opening segment of Sin City was shot all on Robert Rodriguez's dime, and as a favor from Josh Hartnett who's his friend.
It was made to sell Frank Miller and the studio on the idea of making the movie.

Granted, Josh Hartnett ended up playing the part, but actors doing test footage as a favor to a friend or for shits and gigs isn't something new.

[Reavant]

she sounded pretty excited to do it when talking about it on her twitter.... JUST SAYEN

[Cooler Tom Schuler]

Then why would she appear in that video, smart guy.

"Actually was made for the director to sell WB on his vision for a reimagined MK film," Ryan wrote on her Twitter account. "I did it as a favor to a friend."

[Hanso Amore]

She needs to STFU, messes with TPWW theories.

[El Tigre]

Hope this all comes out well in the end; while a complete revision of one my favorite childhood fighting games series did initially put me off, this presentation along with the notion of starting "fresh" does intrigue me.

Also, on the subject of this trailer, did anyone else notice that the actor playing Johnny Cage in the past is the same martial artist who played Len in the short lived Fox series "Kamen Rider - DragonKnight?:

http://www.otakuusamagazine.com/Uploads/Imports/News/122207_action_20-fp.jpg

It's an interesting observation that was recently brought to my attention, so I thought I'd share it.

[Jura]

I think I saw him on a martial arts documentary several years ago on Discovery.

[Rammsteinmad]

I thought it was badass the way he had that one final toke before having his head cut off.

Kano, I believe

So he's just funding this independently?

Hopefully it's as good as the trailer and gets on dvd.

I think WB's backing him up. Looks interesting.

Yeah it was commissioned by the studio. Supposed to be released alongside the new game.

The actor may be portraying both Cyrax and whoever the fuck Hydro is.

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

With Kevin Tancharoen, his fellow writers for the series will be Spartacus: Blood and Sand writers Todd Helbing and Aaron Helbing and rumored characters that are to be included from the Mortal Kombat franchise are Shang Tsung, Liu Kang, Sub-Zero, Kabal, Kitana, Mileena and Scorpion.

i dont think scorpion, shang and sub are really rumors considering they were in the first movie or mentioned

[Jeritron]

Cyrax doesn't suprise me. I've always seen him as a top character or close to it, just from my childhood awareness of the franchise.

No clue who Hydro is

[Reavant]

so where will this be able to be watched?

[Blitz]

It's gonna be a web series, I believe. Probably an official site will pop up for it at some point.

[RP]

Thought I heard it was starting in april

[Blitz]

First clip from the series, now known as Mortal Kombat: Legacy. Nothing much, just a bit of a brawl between Kano and Jax, but the choreography looks pretty good. Series begins April 12 on Machinima.com.

[Inadequacy]

I like the part where Kano grabs the gun and it looks like instead of shooting it he tries to smack Jax with it.

[Reavant]

he didnt intend to smack him with it he got rushed before he could point it at him

[Jura]

12 mins is too short even for a webisode. What's with the slow motion, over dramatic camera style at the end with Sonya? We just watched her get herself loose, untie her legs and walk through the door all in slow motion. I think they should have shown that first then leave us with the jax/kano explosion.

Baraka. First thing from this series I don't like. Looks too World of Warcraft.

Would have been better to keep the original Baraka that killed Johnny Cage in the initial trailer.

He also looks more related to Reptile than Baraka in the initial promo trailer.

This show is insanely epic. You're telling me that they couldn't get funding for a half-hour program on television?

This would be a hit, hands down.

[DaveBrawl]

Another great episode. I had to laugh at Jax's "Seagal face" around 2:38 during the Kano fight though. It sucks the epsiodes aren't longer, but at least we get something.

[VSG]

Great episode, loved how they are incorporating Kano's eye and Jaxx's arm.

[Ermaximus]

That was a powerful punch to Kano none the less. To knock someone's eye out like that is ridiculous.

[VSG]

True, especially seeing that this series is all about realism.

[Reavant]

That was a powerful punch to Kano none the less. To knock someone's eye out like that is ridiculous.

its not too ridiculous. Believe it or not i saw it happen in real life. At my gym two guys were boxing and one of them threw a wild punch and connected on the orbital bone of the other guy and broke it in a couple places and ended up rupturing his eyeball and he ended up losing it :-\ and thats with boxing gloves on

[Kalyx triaD]

This series is not about realism. We got robotic eyes and the robotic arms tease by episode 2. Make no mistake this is Mortal Kombat. It's just relatively realistic by usual MK standards!

[D Mac]

This show is insanely epic. You're telling me that they couldn't get funding for a full length movie?

This would be a hit, hands down.

[Kalyx triaD]

This wouldn't work as a movie, it would bomb. Keep it web series and hope for a premium cable channel upgrade (12-13eps to start).

I wanna advice everyone to watch the web-series on the official stream sites to increase success. Don't fuck this up like Heroes and Terminator: SCC.

[Jura]

I think the actor who played Booster Gold in Smallville would be a good Johnny Cage if they do make a new MK film.

Seems a bit odd to go back to the "fantasy" stuff of MK when the previous episodes were more gritty and realistic but I did like the animated parts of the episode.

[VSG]

I didn't mind that at all, I am loving this series more and more with each installment.

[Reavant]

what was so "fantasy" about it... considering the content they were covering, they stayed fairly in the realm of reality minus the goblins with blades

[Kalyx triaD]

...And the interdimensional invasions, soul mergings, half-creature clone girls...

It's all good, just saying it is a departure from the first arc. But it's MK so it's all good. The Edenia/Outworld backstory really can't be grounded in reality.

[VSG]

New episode out

Getting bored with these. We have to wait 1 whole week for only 6-7 mins of actual content and even then when you watch it it's not really worth the wait. Maybe I'll forget about them and wait until they all come out and I will watch them back to back.

[Reavant]

that sucked

[VSG]

It wasn't bad but I hate how each episode is barely 6 min. I might go the Jura way and "forget" about this till it is over.

I thought Mileena was cloned by Shang Tsung??

Johnny Cage was also never in Power Rangers. Your point?

[Crimson]

Im asking a fucking question?

[Jura]

They took some liberties with the story and details obviously.

[Crimson]

Ok initially I just watched the recent one. First time I heard of this

[XCaliber]

The last episode went a little overboard with the animation it's not as if the budget is that tight with the cgi they've had thus far yeesh.

and she still was in this one... watch the first meleena kitana episode

Nearly screamed when the video stopped just as the fight began. This has convinced me to watch each week now.

[Emperor Smeat]

Is that supposed to be the regular Sub-Zero or the bad one (Noob I think)?

I liked how the whole episode is basically just Scorpion until Sub-Zero makes his greetings with a punch to the face.

[Kalyx triaD]

Most likely Noob-Zero, the original.

[Jura]

Fight's gonna be like 2 mins long.

[Reavant]

The original sub zero (noob zero) was not a bad guy

[Kalyx triaD]

Neither was his brother.

If this series sticks to source material, there's some kind of misunderstanding involved. Or at least a major ruse. Whether Quan Chi is behind this version of events, we'll see.

[Reavant]

What?


Scorpion called sub zero Bi Han... thats the first sub zero that he had a beef with

[Reavant]

The lin kuei does destroy the shirai ryu but it is quan chi who kills his wife and son

[VSG]

Ya, dunno if Quan Chi is going to be in this series actually. They barely even mentioned Shang Tsung as it is.

:nono: hes in the trailer for the series

[VSG]

Well so he is, I never saw that trailer till now. Also see both sub-zeros, Sektor and Cyrax at least.

[VSG]

Great episode! Supposedly it is Cyrax and Sektor in the last episode of this season. If it is renewed for another season, they will have Liu Kang and Kung Lao among others.

[Reavant]

Fucking awesome!

[Jura]

Fight's gonna be like 2 mins long.
I was wrong. It was about 1 min in this episode.

I would like to see Kabal or Kung Lao the most.

[XCaliber]

Thought this episode was great but did it not stray from the source material with that little twist near the end of it?

[Jura]

How so?

[Reavant]

actually that twist was the closest to source material that the entire series has been so far...


at least in terms of quan chi killing scorpion's family.


It should have been sub zero to kill scorpion and not quan chi, but quan chi morphed as sub zero is close enough.

[Jura]

I wonder if Quan Chi or Shang Tsung has ever morphed into a hot girl and stared at themselves in a mirror.

[Kalyx triaD]

Or he could enchant some hot chick and have his way with her?

[Emperor Smeat]

A bit too short but good episode.

It wouldn't make sense to not have Lui Kang be the season finale's episode since he's the last big name left and kind of important to the whole Mortal Kombat story or at least the initial part of the story.

[VSG]

Or, given that these videos are part of "Season 1" on Youtube, they are banking on multiple seasons and will unveil Lui Kang later.

[VSG]

Also, Goro is a big name still left :foc:

[Emperor Smeat]

Goro got his ass beat by Johnny Cage in the original Mortal Kombat movie and everyone usually beats up or kills Cage which shows how bad Goro was. :p

[Kalyx triaD]

He shouldn't have crushed those $500 shades.

[VSG]

Season finale supposedly to be out during Comic Con, July 4th week.

[Reavant]

boo

[XL]

Almost forgot about this entirely.

[VSG]

Gah! I thought you had posted the finale that might have been released earlier.

[VSG]

Going to watch this right away.

[XL]

About time!!

[VSG]

Ya. I am pretty convinced there will be a season 2 at least as long as someone continues to fund this.

[Kalyx triaD]

That was badass.

[Emperor Smeat]

Ya. I am pretty convinced there will be a season 2 at least as long as someone continues to fund this.

It looks like Warner Bros might be expecting consumers to help fund the next season because they recently announced the first season will be available on Blu-Ray for $20 on November 8 and a potential DVD version later.

Seems they have gotten a little better.

[Rammsteinmad]

Wow, totally didn't realise these were even out yet! Just caught up with them all today. REALLY liked the first two. The Johnny Cage one was pretty cool and that last one with Cyrax and Sektor was fucking awesome.

I liked all the other ones too, the Raiden one was pretty cool, but I was under the impression by that original trailer/sample thing that these were set in the real world?

Either way, these are good and I hope they continue.

[Jura]

Yeah it's supposed to be a more realistic approach to MK.

[Rammsteinmad]

Except for Thunder Gods, Queens transferring their souls into their daughters and sorcerers turning into ninjas and freezing people. :shifty:

But seriously, they're all good though. So I'm not really complaining.

Though I was looking forward to Raiden being something like this:

You got your wish, fanboys.

Deadline reports that New Line Cinema will reboot the Mortal Kombat film series, and have hired Kevin Tancharoen to direct.

Tancharoen, as you may know, also helmed the Mortal Kombat: Rebirth short film that became a viral video sensation as well as the Mortal Kombat: Legacy web series that it spawned.


Oren Uziel, whose horror mashup script The Kitchen Sink made the industry's highly coveted Black List of unproduced screenplays, has been tapped to script the film. Although its plot is being kept under wraps, The Hollywood Reporter claims, "There is no actor attached and the new story will not serve as an extension of the game or digital series."

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[VSG]

Oh snap!!

[Dark-Slicer Diago]

This is great news indeed. :)

[VSG]

Can someone finally change the title of the thread now? :D

[G]

Mortal Kombat - Super

[D Mac]

They had better open it with this...

<iframe width="480" height="360" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/78VJe_LNOXw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

[Jura]

They released a Blu-ray of MK Legacy.

[VSG]

Suckers

[Skippord]

I am just watching the web series now, pretty solid thus far

[Skippord]

Johnny Cage was actually pretty cool

[Skippord]

Baraka looks like that one orc from The Two Towers

[Swiss Ultimate]

Johnny Cage was awesome.

[Skippord]

damn this Raiden one is sick as fuck

[Reavant]

the robot one was unbelievable... they looked cooler and better than iron man

[Skippord]

lol Sub Zero just shows up and starts beating the piss out of Scorpion

[Skippord]

oh snap Quan Chi

[Skippord]

whoa, the Robots are awesome

[Blitz]

Second season on the way. (http://www.destructoid.com/mortal-kombat-legacy-returns-for-a-second-season-231479.phtml)

[Nowhere Man]

Outstanding. [/Shao Khan voice]

[VSG]

Indeed. [/Kaientai voice]

[Blitz]

Mike Chang as Sub Zero has me lol'ing a bit. And Kenshi looks like an officer manager by day, blind swordsman by night type deal.

Fuck yeah Mark Dacascos and OG Shang Tsung, though.

[Kalyx triaD]

I fucking love that cast. Too bad about Jax, though. Mike was perfect.

[Nowhere Man]

Yeah, it's a shame that Michael Jai White isn't coming back.

On the other hand, Casper Van Dien as Johnny Cage? I can get behind that.

[Kalyx triaD]

Yeah that should be great.

[Kalyx triaD]

<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/5l3jrR5XMSU?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

Fawking awesome.

[Juan]

Holy fuck

[Nowhere Man]

Hot damn, that looks awesome.

Also, wait a sec.....they listed Liu Kang as one of the bad guys?

[Kalyx triaD]

He looks kinda shady, but probably to set-up a redemption thing. I doubt they'd present the hero of the series like that for the whole stretch.

[Nowhere Man]

Yeah. Having him start out on the wrong team should actually make Liu a lot more interesting.

[Blitz]

Goddamn I would love if this would evolve into a full on show on Netflix or something.

Can't properly explain how awesome it is that Cary Hiroyuki-Tagawa is Shang again.

[Kalyx triaD]

Fucking marked out at, "It has begun."

Only thing missing was the badass techno movie theme.
