With Mortal Kombat seeing its current level of success, it shouldn't come as too shocking a surprise that New Line is working with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment to make a full-blown movie. The film, set for release in 2013, will be directed by Kevin Tancharoen, the same guy who did the MK: Legacy videos.
"The new game and the online shorts prompted us to consider a reboot of a brand we hadn't been actively thinking about," explains New Line president Toby Emmerich. Similar to what we saw from the latter, this movie is said to be a take on the franchise more grounded in reality.
After the pilot episode of the web series, I almost immediately lost interest. Really hopeful the same doesn't happen again with this big-screen project.

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

I mean it effectively has no plot .... not that its target audience is exactly the type to care about a cohesive plot anyhow.
intradimensional villain starts martial arts competition to win the rights to destroy the earth, powerrangers style.
Its plot can be summed up with, explosion, martial arts, explosion, CG baddie, martial arts, CG mega explosion.
Nah best game movie ever was obviously Super Mario Brothers!
MORTAL KOMBAT III: RETURN TO MAN ISLAND
The inner earth magma transportation scene is lulz for days.
If you don't like the Raiden episode, there is something wrong with you on a molecular level.
