Mortal Kombat?


Recommended Posts

UPDATE 2: Cat's out of the bag. This is for the movie, and it comes from the mind of genius fight choreographer Larnell Stovall. He's the guy who did the fights for the excellent Undisputed 3: Redemption, on DVD and Blu-Ray right now. I hope that this movie gets made with Larnell plotting the punches, because this guy isn't just a geek like us, he's also got an incredible skill and ambition to create the next generation of fight choreography.

 

UPDATE: For those saying this is a video tied in to E3 and a launch for a new Mortal Kombat game - I am 99% sure that is not the case. This is for a new Mortal Kombat movie.

 

This video just showed up in my inbox, and while I would normally dismiss it as the work of a fan with waaaaay too much disposable income, something caught my eye. A couple of weeks ago I had a chance to chat with someone involved in the latest iteration of the video game adaptation, and they told me that the hook of this movie was going to be 'realism.' He also told me a couple of other things that are reflected in this video, including the origins of Reptile and Baraka, which makes me believe that this is a proof of concept or demo reel, possibly for investors.

 

What do you think? Do you like a grimmer and grittier take on the game?

These kind of movies are absolutely terrible, always no name actors and a no name director putting out something cheesy and just bad.

 

It's gonna probably suck, but I'm not expecting Oscar noms with anything relating to video games. Unless James Cameron directs a Halo movie.

This actually looks sick. Mortal Kombat was my favorite video game and movie when I was young. Consdering the outlandish story and characters, this movie looks like it does a good job of keeping it as realistic as it could possibly get. Also love how dark it looks as well.

 

Very excited, even if it doesn't come out 'till 2013 lol.
