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

This is real and Reptile looks fucking sick.

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.

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.

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

I hope she gets the part.

I doubt she wants it.

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

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.

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

She needs to STFU, messes with TPWW theories.

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?:

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

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

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

So evidently this was produced to sell Warner Brothers on the idea of a re-done MK movie. Thoughts?

IMO, it looks fucking sweet as hell.

My b.

So for those who don't already know, Kevin Tancharoen is producing this as 10 webisodes. He's taken to posting some pics from production on his Twitter.

Kano, I believe

Scorp, heading to a showdown with Subby, possibly?

Caption for this one is "Blue is not Kitana". So it's either Kitana, or not.

Get over here!

All looking pretty good so far.

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.

All kinds of awesome

THIS is how you market a game.

interesting series cast from imdb


Series Cast

Ryan Robbins ... Raiden (10 episodes, 2011)

Darren Shahlavi ... Kano (10 episodes, 2011)

Matt Mullins ... Johnny Cage (10 episodes)

Michael Jai White ... Jackson Briggs (10 episodes)

Tahmoh Penikett ... Kurtis Stryker (5 episodes, 2011)

Tracy Spiridakos ... Blue (3 episodes)

kinda wtf at blue and cyrax/hydro

thats actually raiden

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

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.

yea i understand a guy can play two characters... its more about the characters themselves

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

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

so where will this be able to be watched?

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

Thought I heard it was starting in april

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.

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

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

Guess they rethought the whole half-robot look from the trailer. I don't hate it.
