They at least better keep the theme.

It's always a challenge to do a movie 13 years after something has hit the peak of mainstream popularity.

It will always be popular.

FINALLY

Not that popular

IS :mad:

I am down for this, as much as I adore the first Mortal Kombat.

This is fantastic news

Wow I have absolutely no interest in this at all lol

So what?

It will most likely flop like a pancake. First one was good for the fight scenes, second one was good for.......:|

Ray Park should probably play every part and fight himself

They really should go the Tekken route and get qualified action/martial artists. Unknowns, too. Good luck getting an R rated feature.

holy crap just watched the youtube video, the fights were so shite. i loved the film as a kid too.

but yeah, this really doesn't need to be made. it was niche enough at the time, now i'd wager about 10 people will see it.

I will def be one of those 10 people.

Tony Jaa for Kung Lao.

Yea they should def copy the Tekken movie if they want this to be successful in any way....

MK has a better mythology than most (all?) fighting games, story wise they have an edge. Action wise... much as changed in the action landscape. It would serve them well to go the Tekken route.

:foc::foc::foc::foc::foc:

The Cage/Scorpion fight was and still is epic. :mad:

The Reptile/Liu Kang fight was badass too.

Honestly, and it's weird to say for an adaptation of Mortal Kombat of all things, but the fact that they didn't just cast for fighting prowess, and didn't just worry about the fights, is what made the first movie so enjoyable. Yeah the leads had martial arts experience, but they were actors too, and fully realized the characters. Tell me for one second that the movie would've been as good if Johnny Cage was played by Random Karate Stuntman #3 instead of Linden Ashby.

NO! BAD BAD WB!

See this reboot idea makes sense; rise in martial arts films & popularity, video game films are getting better (Street Fighter: Chun Li excluded), larger fan base since more games have come out, it's been over 10 years....

Thing is, I really liked Robin Shou, oh well.

Just make it happen, ok.

I shall play Scorpion.

If they have any since Scorpion will be played by Chris Cassamasa and voiced by Ed(iot) Boon.

:yes:

Ray Park should play Sub-Zero and he needs to use swords or some shit at least once.

Then I guess we already know what character I'm playing. :shifty:

Mortal Kombat is so 1995.
But seriously..this is good news. I hope they do a good job. That fucking Street Fighter movie was so awful. The first Mortal Kombat movie was one of the few decent video game films out there.

I have just learned that Ray Park was in the first MK movie.

Fuck all this reboot shit.

cypernetic smoke in the second one was pretty sweet
