Just the other day I was thinking "Hey, someone should make another Mortal Kombat movie." Good news -- someone is!
Bloody Disgusting is reporting that Warner Bros. Pictures is looking to reboot the series with Oren Uziel penning the script. Uziel is best known (and only known, really) for his penning an award-winning short murder mystery, Shimmer Lake.
No other details on the film are being reported, but it should be noted that a third Mortal Kombat film has been in development hell for years. It sounds like Warner Bros. is hoping to capitalize on the upcoming (yet officially unannounced) Mortal Kombat 8.
It's going to be tough to top 1997's Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, which featured the most amazing (and only) Baraka costume committed to film.

New MK movie/remake??? I am excite!
@Nick: Mortal Kombat: Deadly Alliance was MK5. It even had a huge 'V' on the games box cover. -_-

I hope that the movie's full title is Mortal Kombat: Man Island!
The movie that is. The 2nd MK game is the best.
Now Pappa he ain't hurtin' nobody.
would imply that there was something wrong with the original series and will be fixed in te new film.
I believe the second part to be a lie.
Also, Mortal Kombat apologists: Big Trouble in Little China is better than this ever was, is, or shall be.
If you need more sci-fi/ghosty Kung Fu flicks there's about 40 years worth of genre films out there.
Why do fighting movie genre fans act like Hollywood is the only source for this stuff?
Shaw Brothers, people.
Drunken Master.
Quit eating up boilerplate licensed drama and demand original content. Genre films have a hard enough time already without resorting to constant remakes reboots and retooling.
Hollywood. If you're pitching a film idea, leave the following words out: reboot, remake, reimagining, comic book/video game adaptation, franchise opportunity, Paul WS Anderson, and Uwe Boll
You'll save yourself loads of disappoitment when all but 5% of them fail.

I hope they can get this Mortal Kombat film right.
Man Island: The Return of Durant is a reality! Huzzah!
If they make it as bad as the second, it can die in a fire.
