Okay, time for some clarifications... though, to be honest, it seems no one here believes dvdgamescenter anyway...
1. The first official leak for the movie did not come from him. A podcast/youtube channel called Screenplay Archaeology leaked the entire 2016 draft back in 2017. They reupload their video on Youtube sometime in early 2018 (February/March)... This predates DVD by almost a year:
Sadly, their original blog is no longer up, but the video remains. I believe their original podcast episode was December 2017, though I'm going off of memory.
2. Leaks continued by various people since 2018. Much of what was changed to the final movie was leaked last year. So, it was easily possible for someone to compile a complete plot line for the film if you looked hard enough. Here is just the advanced screening leaks from last December... Personally, I didn't believe them, but it seemed to be correct.

3. DVD has claimed that Larry Kasanoff is heading the franchise. This is contrary to every piece of information that is out there. His name IS in the credits of the new movie as an Executive Producer. Threshold Entertainment, however, was not involved in the production. Most likely, this credit (and probably a paycheck) were awarded to Larry in a settlement between himself and WB. Larry had originally sued to block the sale of Mortal Kombat from Midway and had no less than three different lawsuits.

His name was also not on an early Casting Sheet that was eventually leaked. While the high-level producers were all listed, Larry was nowhere to be found:

There ended up being SIX executive producers on the film. You can see the date being 2/5/2019. Final script was locked in January 2019.
4. DVD's sequel claims directly contradict what Todd and Greg have said publicly about the proposed sequel. DVD's plot is a large, epic adventure film centering on the Earthrealm characters joining forces with a rebellion in a war against Shao Kahn. Greg Russo had THIS to say about what Mortal Kombat 2 will be about:

So Mortal Kombat 2 will be the tournament, like the original 1995 film.
What is also strange is that, Todd also said Greg was going to write the sequel... Yet, DVD last year claimed that two sequels were in the works but Greg had left the project. He mentions another writer BY NAME... the only name that connects is an actor from Poland...

5. DVD has increased his "credentials" over the past year. First he has claimed he never saw screenplays for the movies, only what he was told by others. Then claimed those sources were the team of writers on the film (sorry, but other than Uziel and Callaham -- the two previous writers, Greg Russo wrote the 2021 film) talking to him from on-set in Australia... and THAT is why he got details wrong. Because they were giving him out-of-date info from drafts that were years old by this point?
Now he positions himself to have seen the script treatments (outlines) of the two sequels, and is now beginning to claim he can give details on the 4th and 5th film... Lets think about this. Even IF the movies are made in two years, that is eight years away until Mortal Kombat 5 gets released... And he has the inside info on that movie...
6. Todd Garner has personally responded to old messages about DVD and has said that the info is false. This was done back in April.

DVD has increasingly positioned himself to be someone closer to the production. Even in this very thread, he was telling someone they could pick the characters for a battle because it would be all CGI... This is a red flag. Movies don't work this way, and production members don't do to message boards looking for input. (sorry)
I understand that this was a long post, and again, the majority of you already know DVD hasn't been truthful. I wanted to post this here (I think this might be my first post, even though I've been a member here?) to bring all the facts of the matter in one place.
Thanks.
