Title: New Mortal Kombat movie?

Supposedly this is the real deal footage from an upcoming movie, although some speculate it's for the game that could be unveiled at E3.

If thats a movie... the concept looks fucking stupid.
None of those characters are believeable...

The original movie where they are summoned to another world and all the fantasy elements is the only way MK can make sense as a movie.

Seriously Sharky, was MK ever even supposed to be believable?

All day I have seen people comment on that around forums and I sincerely don't get that opinion.. I could argue a lot on how this doesn't fit with any of the previous story of the characters though, but seriously it doesn't really matter..

MK has always been about over-the-top unrealistic superpowerful characters beating the living shit out of eachothers. I just hope they add fireballs and stuff to this. And make Scorpion turn into a skeleton.

Also, Reptile is just sick.

This clip was awesome. I hope it's part of the next game or something.

If they are going to try and write the Mortal Kombat series into a real world 'non magic, non fantasy' setting... I just see it becoming a cheesey, unbelieveable mess.

And not the good kind of cheesey like the original... The shit kind like the new Karate Kid.

It's mindless entertainment, just as it used to be.. Only times change, and today nobody would care for all that magic and stuff..

Unbelievable? Yes. Entertaining? I certainly hope so.

I think now more than ever people would be digging the magic and supernatural stuff. Look at the popularity of SUper Heroes and Twilight etc.

In any event, I also prefer the more fantastical MK style, but this real world approach should be an interesting re-imagining at least.

Interesting? It looks mind-numbingly stupid to me.

Like Sharky was saying: Bad, but not "so bad it's good".

Post by: MadeManG74 on June 09, 2010, 12:51:09 am
Well, interesting in that they seem to have come up with alternate backstories for most of the cast at least. I don't particularly like it either, but it seems to hold water.

Exactly, I think they have just boring'd what was originally a really cool concept.

If they had remade the first movie, maybe made it a bit better in concept it could have been pretty cool. Seeing the different worlds that each fighter comes from and having some really out there crazy places would be awesome.

Update: Not a movie.

Jeri Ryan posted on her twitter that it was just a proof of concept short film to get the studio interested in making a movie.

Yeah, I saw a link about that.

I don't really like the look of this film at all, but I'm not even a Mortal Kombat fan. Still, I don't quite understand why they have to go down the realism route at all, change the characters name and you wouldn't even think this was Mortal Kombat outside of Scorpions little... Chain... Thingy... Thing! But I suppose some fans will love it.

And I remembered you like Bentley Jones  :P .

Haha, nah seriously, I agree the thing is absolutely ridiculous and silly, but when I said it 'holds water' they seem to have covered all the main characters and found a way to keep them relatively similar while putting a new spin on it.

In any event, fuck this movie because Johnny Cage died.
Title: Re: New Mortal Kombat movie?
Post by: crackdude on June 09, 2010, 08:20:50 am
Johnny Cage always dies.

I seriously found the lack of sunglasses on Johnny Cage's face revolting. Otherwise I stand by my opinion that I'd love to see something like this in a movie or game or something.
Title: Re: New Mortal Kombat movie?
Post by: MadeManG74 on June 09, 2010, 08:45:46 am
Johnny Cage didn't die in the first movie. The first movie is also the best Video Game movie ever. Coincidence? I THINK NOT.

i'm very disappointed about this trailer, teaser or whatever it is. I've turned on my speakers and no MORTAAAAL KOMBAAAAAAT in the whole video? i'm very very disappointed.

The original Mortal Kombat movie was a joke.  I think some of you guys must like it because you were kids when it came out.  I wasn't.  It's more like a music video than a movie.

Test your might!

Exactly why it was so much fun.

New Mortal Kombat game that continues to be based around fantasy elements. Now I really am wondering why they decided to go with the realistic method still.
Title: Re: New Mortal Kombat movie?

The new game looks awesome. Still it looks really toned down compared to the original games.

Aside for Scorpion's story,
why does it look as same as the first Mortal Kombat live action movie?

I'm thinking about playing a game of Strip Mortal Kombat with a hot girl. She's kinky like that. Of course, I probably won't be removing any of my clothes because I'm just that good at it.

When you think of Mortal Kombat, you think of blood. Buckets of it.
That kind of gruesome splatter that comes from "kali ma shakti de"-ing an opponent in a savage fight to the death.
But blood, as director Simon McQuoid thought of it for the upcoming video-game-inspired movie reboot, has many meanings.
"Blood represents family," he tells EW. "Blood represents a connection. Blood represents who we are.

Mortal Kombat's Movie Reboot Has Been Delayed By A Week

Instead of launching in theatres and HBO Max on 16th April, the upcoming Mortal Kombat movie reboot will now air on 23rd April.
According to Deadline, Warner Bros. is currently focused on Legendary's Godzilla vs. Kong, which is likely to bank the biggest domestic takings (around $20M-$30M) at a domestic box office opening during the pandemic.
Mortal Kombat's trailer also got the most views ever for a red band clip, so there's plenty of excitement about it.

Just a week bro. We Sega fans are used to delays and patiently waiting. All cool.
Though I am curious why there isn't more news about it all over YouTube. Like, you'd think this be more of a big thing, like Mortal Kombat's first movie.

I've seen the movie an honestly I found it rather meh.

As in, I've seen YouTube MK fan movies that were better. The film simply had a higher special effect budget than them.

I did like how the movie tried to explain why everyone had signiture powers though "arcana (https://mortalkombat.fandom.com/wiki/Arcana)" but I prefered Mortal Kombat was open-invite to all fighters.
