ember3579 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_MqZn7E-mk Do NOT watch this video if you're somewhere that lots and LOTS of violence by "normal people" standards will get you yelled at. Okay, for those of you who watched the video (or are lazy bastards and don't want to see what condensed awesome looks like), here's a summary of the goings-on. The director for The Dark Night made this video as a resume of sorts to "ask" Warner Brothers if they'll let him try his hand at a new movie rendition the Mortal Kombat series. Apparently, there's 2 main key points that are different in this from previous attempts; one, Scorpion's the main character of the movie. My mind was officially blown out of my ear sockets when I saw this, by the way. Two, they dropped the supernatural aspects of the Mortal Kombat universe from this one. I'm a little depressed about this one, but if they do good, then I don't care. Personally, I will damn near guarantee that if Warner Brothers DOESN'T hire this dude inside of a month, then the whole crew's completely bat-[cabbage]. Keep in mind that this was all done as a sales pitch, NOT a trailer for an existing movie.

Bloodstain Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Actress Jeri Ryan of Star Trek: Voyage fame appears as Sonya Blade in a Mortal Kombat trailer dubbed "Mortal Kombat: Rebirth" that popped up online. Is it a game trailer? A movie trailer? Tell us, Jeri, tell us! "Okay, so... Mortal Kombat," she tweets. "It's not a game trailer. Actually was made for the director to sell WB on his vision for a reimagined MK film." Ryan said she did her role as a favor to a friend. "No idea yet what WB's reaction to it was," she adds. I can tell you what my reaction was: stoked. While a Mortal Kombat film was directed by Paul W.S. Anderson (of Resident Evil movie fame) in 1995, an updated take on the franchise has been languishing in development hell. However, a lawsuit has been filed by the development partner of the original film as it signed a contract in 2006 to do a sequel. The Mortal Kombat: Rebirth short was helmed by Kevin Tancharoen. He directed last year's Fame remake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ember3579 Posted June 10, 2010 Author Share Posted June 10, 2010 Looks good. I wonder how they are gonna make Goro not be a supernatural underworld prince or whatever. They're probably going to either cut out people like him or give them some mechanical assistance (if civilians have working prototypes of brain-controlled prosthetic limbs, what do you think the military/underworld has?). I'm personally interested in seeing (assuming they get the go-ahead, which they bloody well should) 1) just who they are going to have in the lineup, and 2) what sort of things they'll have access to. The main thing I'm worried about is the translation from supernatural to realistic; at least SOMETHING is going to get cut, but what exactly is what worries me. Either way, this looks like epic win in a can. You never know which rabbit hole you jump into will lead to Wonderland. - Ember3579Aku Soku Zan. - ShinsengumiYou wanna mess with me or my friends?

Bloodstain Posted June 10, 2010 Share Posted June 10, 2010 Atm it's just a fun project by Kevin Tancharoen, Did you know Kevin Tancharoen, the man behind yesterday's amazing Mortal Kombat short, shot it in just two days? And that much of the work was done for free? You do now. Tancharoen say down for an interview with Collider earlier today, and spoke about how the short film was made, and what he hopes to do with it now he's got the internet's attention. "It took over a two-month span of time", he told the film website. " I shot this whole thing in two days on two Red cameras that were donated to me with a group of friends who all believed in the cause." "It all started at the beginning of April and it took two months to do all the post and the editing. I edited it myself and the visual effects were great people donating their time. It turned out to be pretty awesome. I was very, very happy about it." While confirming that it was a personal project, and had zero involvement or blessing from Warner Bros. (who now own the Mortal Kombat rights), Tancharoen does say it was made with the intent of getting a Mortal Kombat movie off the ground, with him as director (he's had experience with...Fame). Hopefully this will get picked up and made, cause it looked awesome http://kotaku.com/5559726/how-the-mortal-kombat-short-was-made-and-what-happens-next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ember3579 Posted June 11, 2010 Author Share Posted June 11, 2010 Wanna know what REALLY blows my mind about the whole bit? The fact that it was done with 2 days of filming and less than 2 months of editing. Even WITH top-notch people on the ball for this, that's insane for the quality they put out.

Harakiri Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Man, for fathers day at the movie store they had ten copies of the first two Mortal Kombat movies bundled together and the guy at the store told me and my mom they were perfect movies for dads, and that I would probably enjoy them. I told the guy I'm not stupid, I've seen them. They sucked. He kind of walked off. I hate stores like that. This looks like something I would take my father to see though. I really enjoyed all of it. I would definitely see this and it looks like a really good step for the series to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Necromagus Posted July 5, 2010 Share Posted July 5, 2010 Well, if they were going to do a 'mainstream' Mortal Kombat film, they'd pretty much have to cut all the ridiculous supernatural elements. I loved the character design shown in the trailer. I think that the way they're doing things in the trailer (a 'natural' explanation for supernatural features) is definitely the way to go.

Myweponsg00d Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 Well...the fighting looked like some good martial arts. Its strange though, that it seems like he wants to make the movie about a bunch of hardened criminals. Most of the MK characters have a story of being trained in asia in martial arts...like sub zero was trained with monks and such. Now it looks like theyre gonna make him into Mr. Freeze basically. Interesting concept. Need assistance in any of these skills? PM me in game, my private chat is always ON Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
