[PCLoadLetter]

Remember those webisodes that came out every Tuesday?
If not, I highly recommend you check out Hit's thread and watch them: http://www.torontomazda3.ca/forum/showthread.php?52878-Mortal-Kombat-Legacy-Webisodes&highlight=mortal+kombat

New Line Cinema and Warner Bros. are going to reboot the franchise in a style similar to the webisodes. I'm so hyped:

WARNER BROS. SAYS "TEST... YOUR MIGHT (EXCELLENT). FIGHT! MORTAL KOMBAT!"

It's now been sixteen years since New Line Cinema released the first movie based upon the martial arts/fighting video
game franchise Mortal Kombat. There had been movies based upon video games before (like 1993's Super Mario Bros),
but Mortal Kombat had the distinction of being a genuinely successful action/genre film with a pretty great soundtrack
that seemed to convey the entertainment of the video game to the big screen in a way that hasn't been realized very
often in the years since. That movie was followed in 1997 by the less effective Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, and the video
game franchise has been continuing on ever since. In 2010, director Kevin Tancharoen, who worked on the 2009 remake
of Fame and Glee: The 3D Concert Movie, teamed up with other producers to deliver an 8 minute live action short film
called Mortal Kombat: Rebirth. This led to a series of short films called Mortal Kombat: Legacy, featuring actors like
Michael Jai White and Jeri Ryan. The reason for that original short was said to be as a "proof of concept" to show how
Mortal Kombat could return as a feature film franchise. Well, this week, Kevin Tancharoen and crew got what they asked
for, as New Line Cinema and Warner Bros Interactive Entertainment are now developing a new live action Mortal Kombat
film that Tancharoen is attached to direct. Production is expected to start sometime in 2012 (the year that marks the 20th
anniversary of Mortal Kombat) for a release in 2013. It's not yet known if all of the actors from the Mortal Kombat shorts
will return for the reboot.

To each their own.

Nice find Bryan! As long as it stays with the same director, and similar cast, this movie will be badass!

Any fan of Mortal Kombat will disagree with you.

Remember the original movie? Yeah...it sucked but it was still kickass at the same time.

That was 16 years ago (hard to believe). With all the advances in technology and film since then, I can't wait to see what they come up with.

I was a huge fan of Mortal Kombat on SNES.. also huge fan of the original movie.. I just found the acting, overall plot and dialogue bad on the webisodes

I enjoyed the first few webisodes but found the quality started to drop with each new one.
The first 4 or so were great, it seems they ran out of budget.

This could go either way but I was a huge fan of the video game series growing up
