New Mortal Kombat Film

Sean P Kelly · 06-08-2010, 07:29 PM

A new video pooped up that appears to be a concept reel for a new Mortal Kombat film.

Some things to note:

It's gory (unlike the PG-13 rated original films)
The story seems grounded in reality (i.e. there's absolutely no mention of Outworld and the non-human looking characters are just disfigured humans)
There are few semi-recognizable actors (Michael Jai White and Jeri Ryan)

I won't post the video here because of it's violent content, but I will link to an article that has the video: New Mortal Kombat Footage Features Michael Jai White; Does This Tease a New Movie, Video Game, or Both? | /Film

Who are Michael Jai White and Jeri Ryan?

And remember, "I'm-a Luigi, number one!"

Meh, they killed Cage in the Trailer....

Poor Cage just can't catch a break in these movies.

I thought Johhny Cage and Scorpion's original actors would return.

I just know this is going to be the Legend of Chun Li of Mortal Kombat. Granted, they at least are now having Scorpion be a NEUTRAL character like he always has been in the games. But where the hell is Liu Kang? Raiden? I foresee Kano at least, but, damn.

Johnny Cage seems to have died as many times as Krillin. Go figure.

Warner Bros. Announces New Mortal Kombat for 2011

Quote:

That live-action Mortal Kombat trailer recently released on YouTube maybe didn't have anything to do with a new Mortal Kombat game, but it makes little difference as Warner Bros. today has coincidentally announced a new Mortal Kombat game anyway. Evidently dubbed simply "Mortal Kombat," the new game is being developed by a new team for release in 2011.

The new team, called NetherRealm Studios, is being guided by original Mortal Kombat creator Ed Boon. This new Mortal Kombat promises a "reinvention of its classic 2D fighting mechanic" along with a "new graphics engine." It's a little unclear from the wording, but it sounds like it'll go the Street Fighter 4 route, with 3D visuals but strictly 2D gameplay.

This new entry will also add tag-team modes in addition to standard one-on-one bouts, including a "co-op arcade mode" that has two players teaming up to take on other teams online. Warner Bros. also promises the "deepest story mode of any fighting game" with a return of "iconic warriors" from past Mortal Kombat games, but no specific characters are mentioned. And of course, there will also be a return of Fatalities.

"This game really is a response to what players have been demanding: mature presentation, reinvented 2D fighting mechanic and the best, most gruesome fatalities ever," said Boon in a statement.

Mortal Kombat is being developed for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and other than 2011, no more-specific release date was announced. But as usual with just about every new game announcement these days, we wouldn't be surprised to find out even more about it at E3 next week.

So, there will be a new MK game. The live-action trailer doesn't seem to have anything to do with it, though. The game looks pretty sweet at least.

I remember reading somewhere that the movie will be mostly centered around Sub-Zero.

**Loot** · 06-10-2010, 09:27 PM

Bah, they just took Kung Lao's fatality from Shaolin Monks. Lame.

Otherwise, the game? KICKASS.

Could they cram any more ridiculous notions in there? Man.

In the trailer, a picture of what I assume is meant to be Sub Zero flashes for a frame right before Scorpion gets up. I paused it, the picture is visible and unaffected by the frame transition. It's pretty cool.
