Now that is how you modernize a video game and make it look good. I love the idea, even the fight looked good. Casting so far looked good, I do wonder if the actriss playing sonja can hold her own, but Scorpion and Jax, I know those actors know how to fight.

How the hell did they manage to do a better job than two movies that were probably on multi-million dollar budgets?

With the actors they used for this video, I find it hard to believe that this isnt a sign for whats to come. Otherwise, this would be a huge waste of money.

That was Jerri Ryan aka seven of nine from Star trek Voyager. I think she can more than hold her own. What was wrong with the cast. You don't need a big name cast for MK movie. I think Micheal Jai White is a perfect fit as jaks. I think IF this is an actual movie. All you need is a good script and capable actors. I mean come on it's MK not The Departed.

Interesting stuff, but I've got to say I'm a bit disappointed that they've gone as far as they have to justify it in the real world. I mean, no mention of Outworld and the, you know, apocalyptic implications of the Mortal Kombat tournament? I'll accept it for the new movie franchise, but I really hope Ed Boon isn't thinking of taking the games down this path.

I dont see anything wrong with the cast yet, I have never watched Star Trek Voyage, so I've never really seen how she looks when it comes to fighting. The last image I have of her is the show Leverage, lol. Thats all I was getting at. White is a goof fit, as long as they let him fight

When it comes to a movie, I think they needed to modernize the story since they did so poorly with the story that stayed true to the game. Honestly, the feel to this movie is far better than the older films, but we will have to wait and see how they progress the story and who they add to it.

I'm kinda double sided on this. It looks interesting and most likely would be something I'll watch, but I don't really care for the direction it took...this isn't the Mortal Kombat story at all. Like Baraka, a Doctor turned psycho path and changes himself into this hideous thing? Baraka was a demon of outworld, not a human. Or Reptile being some psycho killer that eats human heads for breakfast? Come on now.

I'm with Halen on this. I'll give the movie a chance, but this better not be the future for the games.

First, it looked fucking awesome. But it could work just as well with that kind of style and the actual story of Mortal Kombat.

We'll see how it goes.

I think it's just to promote the game but that was better then ANY videogame movie out there.

Remember though, Threshold Entertainment, and Warner Bothers are still going at it about who owns the rights, and with Threshold doing the reboot, they may have been forced or decieded to stay away from the video game storylines and had to come up with a different way to do the movie. I could be wrong, but I've seen others who have had to do the same thing.

I would love to see this made into a full movie. The original MK story already had it's chance and churned out an ok movie (great by video game movie standards though I suppose) and a horrendous piece of shit. If it has anything to do with the games, then I don't care either way. There is nothing any fighting game can ever do again to capture my interest.

This site claims that they have 100% confirmed that this video has nothing to do with the game and is in fact a promo reel for the new movie.

Wow that looked pretty freakin awesome. It almost had a Dark Knight-esque feel to it. The first Mortal Kombat movie was uber cheesy, but a very entertaining movie, wish i could say the same for the second one...But i have to say, if this is infact a real movie, i'll definitely be checking this out.

This was a director's pitch to Warner bros. and had nothing to do with a game at all
