New Mortal Kombat Movie On The Way
Einhander \| 3:55 PM on 02.11.2008	10 comments

Since remaking an established franchise as all the rage in Hollywood these days, word comes out from Moviehole.net ( http://www.moviehole.net/news/20080208_director_talks_mortal_kombat_r.html ) that there's a reboot of the Mortal Kombat movie line.

Helmed by the same director as Steven Seagal's �Into the Sun,� I am sure that this one will win hearts the world over.

One thing is for sure, though- the writing will be bad.

"Though Drew McWeeny and Scott Swan wrote the original draft of the script, �the writing has been handled by the Producers and their writers at Threshold Studios in conjunction with Midway, of course.�"

Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

They really just needa let some franchises die.

Sweet like acid butter.

Clockwork

I thought they cancelled it? I guess not. As long as they still got the original Liu Kang who was in Beverly Hills Ninja, it will rule.

Two things for sure: the writing will be bad, and I'll go see it anyway. MK for life, yo!

Oh, and there's already an imdb entry. Seems they want Christopher Lambert back. ^_^

As long as it's more like the first than the second I'll be happy, as that movie was at least entertaining.

Lets just decide now that video games should not be turned into movies...it will save us all from numerous horrible movies...

A freakin' REBOOT? I have to say I'm a little hopeful because the original Mortal Kombat was a decent martial arts flick, but considering that it only took one sequel to turn the franchise shitty, I can't say I expect much.

I've been waiting for this for some time.

Like DrNutt said it'll be a reboot. kinda like Batman Begins. Midway had to wait for their contract with Dimension to run out just so they wouldn't have another crapfest in the series. You don't wait that long just to disappoint again.

It's just to bad the games suck now.

As long as Goro gets punched in the balls I will be happy
