New Mortal Kombat Movie In The Making

The new Mortal Kombat movie is currently being developed by Kevin Tancharoen, the director of the popular short film below.  Warning: There are some nasty images in the video. I still get goosebumps every time I watch it and hear “GET OVER HERE” at the end.

Personally, I cannot wait until this movie comes out.  It’s scheduled to be released sometime in 2013.  This time around, the movie version of Mortal Kombat won’t be such a bust because Tancharoen is supposedly getting help from Warner Bros and New Line Cinema as stated by LA Times and Deadline.  Tancharoen is also giving this film a much more polished and serious overview from the looks of the short film.

How did Tancharoen get all of this help?  Because he’s awesome.  Also because he created a web series following this short film.  It was called Mortal Kombat: Legacy and was released on YouTube earlier this year.  Warner Bros and New Line Cinema loved the short film and the mini series so much that they decided Tancharoen was cut out for this movie business.

The movie is scheduled to release at the same time interval as the new game.  If that doesn’t work out, it’s rumored that the Blu-ray and DVD release will coincide with the game and they may all come in a package!
