Mortal Kombat

Rampage Jackson as Jax I can actually see that, Ali Larter would be my pick for Sonya Blade

I had hope this movie would get made, I dont have that hope anymore.

 

[Dr. Evil]

Mortal Kombat!

That theme never fails to get one pumped.

 

[bullets]

I certainly be ok with them using the same theme song for a new film. Assuming one gets made.

 

[Spider-Aziz]

Still one of my favorite movie themes.

 

[KevanG]

Not sure how they could top the original theme if they did try to use another one. It's so iconic to the series that I think anyone going to see it would be disappointed if they didn't.

Skrillex pretty much did the MK9 soundtrack.

 

[KevanG]

The only good one was Reptile.

Furious 7 director James Wan is stepping in to produce the MORTAL KOMBAT reboot currently underway at New Line and Broken Road.

The in-demand director of The Conjuring and Insidious: Chapter 2 has been brought over to uppercut some new life into the previously stunted picture.



With his dark sensibility, ability to orchestrate action and scares, and a wildly successful financial track record, Wan seems to be the perfect fit for what the studio has described as “a departure from the mythology,” with “darker, brutally real martial arts.”
The script, being penned by Mortal Kombat: Legacy writer Oren Uziel and The Expendables writer Dave Callaham, centers around a seemingly harmless guy who realizes his potential when he finds himself caught in the middle of a cross-dimensional battle between the warriors of Earth and the monsters of Outworld. Now, in order to stop the world from total destruction, he must win the martial arts tournament known as ‘Mortal Kombat’.

Isnt Legacy Season 3 in production ?

 

[CyclopsWasRight]

Hope the seemingly harmless guy is a game character. Aside from Johnny

 

[Frankeh]

Genuinely hoping this happens. Considering the popularity of the Hunger Games, I'm convinced there's a good movie to be made out of Mortal Kombat. It is basically your hero's journey/fantasy-action-adventure movie (with a minority lead) about good vs. evil, except it revolves around a martial arts tournament. Develop the characters and you're good to go!

Isnt Legacy Season 3 in production ?

No. They were supposed to do a completely new web show that got announced, there was next to nothing about the new web show beyond its announcement.

 

[def28]

Centers on a harmless guy? Don't like the sounds of this due to the focus being on a character people will be forced to follow and not have the appeal of other popular characters. Like Cycwasright said hope that's a game character.

When will the film franchise learn that Sub-Zero and Scorpion are what put asses in seats. Give me a decent budgeted version that actually builds on their clan rivalry with solid roles for Mileena, Smoke, Katana, Jade, Noob etc. People want the Ninjas!

The way Liu Kang killed Sub-Zero in the original Mortal Kombat film was really badass.

These types of movies worked better in the era of van Damme and Seagal. Nowadays people want to see cgi action not martial arts.

 

[Dr. Evil]

I don't care for the plot, just have the theme in there.

MK is the perfect mix tough. Thunder gods, Undead Spectres, Ninjas with Ice powers, Shaolin monks that shoot fireballs, 4 armed monsters etc Etc...In the right hands, it can be the Ultimate Summer movie

 

[TheVileOne]

Does that protagonist description fit anyone in the Mortal Kombat universe? Is it supposed to be like a gamer insertion thing? Like some random kid gets drawn into the MK universe from his perspective?

IDK, seems like it can be a description of Liu Kang because liberties are constantly taken with his character in either movies or webseries's based on the games.

Something tells me that the way that "synopsis" is worded is quite misleading.

 

[jmc]

As much as I have a nostalgic love for the original film I'm not convinced this franchise will ever truly work as a film series.

 

[TX85]

Finally some damn news on a new MK movie being released soon enough. I believe the main protagonist is Liu and he just starts off "harmless" but eventually Raiden guides him to discover his potential within. Something probably happens to his temple or something in the beginning and Raiden takes him to Outerworld to compete.

I really hope Boon is a consultant or producer or something that gives him more input than he had with the first two films

It can be the ultimate blockbuster movie if done accurately/right enough and depending on production scale. It will have tons of The Raid type of fighting action,epic settings with different worlds and characters,some adventure and a strong superhero vibe.

It could be like The Raid,Avengers,Thor,The Lord of the Rings and The Matrix films all in a huge blender and pours a fantastic smoothy. Solid CGI,Quality Costumes,Profesionally done sets and a decent enough cast with top fight cherography and stunts could do wonders!

Agreed. If MK was handled properly It could be one of the best blockbuster franchises EVER

In a perfect world, an MK film would be like Curse of the Golden Flower and Hero meets X-men meets Lord of The Rings meets Pan's Labryinth and Hellboy 2...stylistically
