Mortal Kombat Rebirth?

[yellowpower]

But trailer looks soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sick ill probably watch it twice or more if this actually becomes a movie. The reptile part was nasty tho..

[Gumby]

Well done!

[2 n r]

wow if that clip is getting this much buzz on rs, just think how much buzz it's getting across the globe! done deal

[dub.g]

^^ ya i think that was the intention when they released the trailer unofficially to the public

if u look at the comments on youtube, ign, joystiq or anywhere else this was posted, its getting overwhelming positive reviews...... its only a matter of time..... and errr until they settle that lawsuit for the movie rights

conveniently enough, WB release a trailer of a "reboot" version of Mortal Kombat with one of the original creators of the game Ed Boon leading a development team.. its just like SF4, 3D game back to the 2d gameplay

I agree. If indeed they came out with a full blow movie, the background and stories would have to change.

[trip]

has anyone played mortal kombat deception?

that game IMO was the best MK hands down. 3 fighting styles that you can switch to and from mid combo and keep going

me and 2nr got pretty pro at it. intense shit

The new mortal kombat game looks nuts. Kung Lao's fatality where hy puts his hat down then drags the opponent by their legs into the spinning hat looks sick

Well this was just a sample of what the director could do. Probably most if not all of this teaser wouldn't even make it into the real movie, but I'm definitely stoked with his vision of how he plans to make this movie! If they make it too mystical it will come off super cheesy like Baraka coming in through a portal and growling or whatnot ...

I think MJW is a great actor and he should definitely be cast in more roles! At least one role I can think of off the top of my head is Mr. T in that new movie A-Team ... Rampage is lame!

That new game looks SICK, I wonder when it's out and if it's available for PS3 ... the graphics still seem be not on par with say, SF4 though? ... maybe cuz it's just a clip ... *shrugs*

On a side note; After watching Iron Man 2, they should put Scarlett Johansson in as Sonya Blade! Eye candy FTW!
Sub-Zero looks truly badass, can't really see his face but with his head-shape I can't help but make me think the best casting choice would be Randy Couture or Vin Diesel lol!

[hotjoint]

^ it'll be available for ps3 and xbox 360. I'm thinkin later this year or early next year

Looks like 2011 is gonna be a good year for Mortal Kombat.

So much for the proposed Mortal Kombat remake that Warner Bros. Pictures had hoped to get off the ground. Still, fans of the bloody battle are in for a treat as Bloody Disgusting learned that director Kevin Tancharoen - who directed the awesome online short - will return behind the camera for a 10-episode web series dedicated to the popular video game. Penned by Tancharoen, Todd Helbing, and Aaron Helbing, star Michael Jai White leads the cast as "Major Jackson 'Jax' Briggs. Shooting will take place in Vancouver this coming February. Contested expected to be cast are: Shang Tsung, Liu Kang, Sub Zero, Durak, Kabal, Kitana/Mileena and of course Scorpion. No release date is planned, and there's no word on that R-rated remake. The only plot details we could conjure up is that a few Earthlings will fight to save the planet from Shao Kahn and Shang Tsung, two Gods ruling over parallel universes, or something to that effect.

When the original MK came out in arcade it was a game changer. I used to love ripping out spines.

You know one game I really miss too? Killer Instinct...I used to love that game where you can perform 20 ultra combos lol...I doubt that game will resurrect though haha

YouTube

[deep87]

i loved how the moves flowed into one another. MK was just to notchy after playing KI.
although the n64 version kinda sucked

[liu13]

anyone remember that MK live action series

it was super corny , even some WWF guys made appearances

hope it`s nothing like that

agreed but if u think about it, the ultra combo for this game was hax
i mean u dont really perform the combo hit by hit.. u just hit a certain command when ur opponents life is in the red and the combo performs itself

^^ its up to microsoft whether to make a new KI game or not, they own the entire Rare franchise library.....

unfortunately, Rare is now an empty shell, much like what happened to Infinity Ward/Respawn Ent,

much of the original staff from the n64 up to the very early years with microsoft, all left Rare, even the founders of the company is gone and Microsoft reshuffled the company to focus on casual gaming for the Kinect....


MK 2011 is going to be sick, been watching the customizable combos.. there looks to be soo much depth into the game now

[dachinesedude]

they really need to get it right this time, the past MK movies sucked balls

definitely keep it R rated

[Porschedog]

Wow that trailer was nuts

[EmperorIS]

killer instant gold was the best

[Bouncing Bettys]

any FX Fighter fans?
