Mortal Kombat movie - Confirmed in Development

[kivatt]

Totally! They should try and make the transmedia approach even more broad with series, as long as they value consistency like Kittelsen is trying hard to keep in the komics. There are even some kharacters that could be used in case of a Great Kung Lao or Takeda scenario, like Vorpax, now that Kittelsen made the Kreeya canon in the komics, would be possible... They could also explore the invasion of Osh-Tekk which is not accurately tied to a particular time right now. Many possibilities to approach all of the MK lore including all-new kharacters like Kotal and D'Vorah with their longer lifes. Edenia invasion, Sindel's suicide, lots of possibilities.

I know. That's the crazy thing about MK, it has so much backstory as well as all these different possibilities, due tot he 7 mains realms and lesser ones. There is a lot of potential there that they are just wasting, and I'm mad about it. The best thing about MK to me is it's lore, and it has been largely unexplored. Hell if they made an action role playing game like the Witcher about a different realm, that shit could be phenomenal

...Featuring Donnie Yen as Kung Lao... Nuff said.

Todd McFarlane is doing another Spawn anime. It be sick if his studio produced an MK anime.

Producer / Director James Wan (Saw Series, Aquaman, Conquering Series, Furious 7, Insidious Series etc etc) has basically confirmed MK film is in late stage discussion, though not as of yet in production.

The sites are throwing around terms like "reboot". Now movie websites have devolved into little more than gossip mags so take it with a grain of salt. Still it appears they are gearing up for a new potential franchise, not just a one of film.

I want Sindel to kill everyone in the movie aswell.

Hey @Jynks I went ahead and moved the thread since while its mortal kombat related its more about the movies and not the game specifically etc.

Didn't NRS say that the new movie was debunked or is this different?

Pretty sure a new MK movie has been rumored/confirmed multiple times over the past several years.

Something I'll believe when it actually happens... and honestly I think they'd fuck it up anyway.

I'm busting through my trousers right now.
