Thanks to Midway for sending word that MTV.com has released the premiere of the entire video of "Immortal", part of Adema's new album entitled The Immortal which will be released on October 22, 2002. From the MTV webpage:

"Immortal" appears on the new Adema EP, The Immortal, AND is the first release from the Mortal Kombat video game soundtrack. Adema was approached by the video game maker to participate in the project because they were looking for a hard rock band that would appeal to the same audiences as the those that played the video game. The video was shot in New Orleans on June 6th. The band was shot performing in front of a "green screen" and then they were inserted into the environment of the video game.

Thanks again to our forum posters for the news tip.

There is a contest over at WWE in which the winner goes to New York and plays MK: Deadly Alliance against a WWE celebrity. Furthermore, you can also download more screenshots of the game from this website.

UPDATE: We now have confirmation that Midway is running a cinema spot for MK: Deadly Alliance which is currently airing in select R-rated theaters across the country. The commercial will run until November 21st, 2002, which is a 15 second clip of Scorpion and Quan Chi fighting. The WWE Mortal Kombat Sweepstakes page has a preview of the commercial in streaming format, but the theater version will be far more incredible with 35 MM Dolby Surround Sound.

Thanks to many users for the heads up on this!

Just noticed the new PSM issue in the newsstands - it seems that PSM decided to dis their loyal subscribers by only including the poster in the newsstand version of the magazine.  Thanks, PSM, I'll remember that when my subscription expires and you want me to renew.  Anyway, it is a pretty cool poster; it has Quan Chi and Scorpion fighting it out and everything.

UGO recently conducted an interview with Joshua Wexler, associate producer and writer of Mortal Kombat Annihilation, about his martial-arts centered cable network in the works called Blackbelt TV. This network will feature a wide sort of programming including classic kung fu movies and syndicated television shows including Mortal Kombat Conquest. More interest to us however is a key point in the interview where Josh is asked if he is involved with the third Mortal Kombat movie. In the interview he announces it is indeed in production and that "we're going to reinvent the fighting genre. You're going to see fights like you've never seen before". This is really the first concrete evidence we have heard of the film, despite non-credible rumors that have been flying around from sites like the IMDb. With the rising hype of the coming release of MK: Deadly Alliance, this may have been all it took to get this film in the works. We'll keep you posted on any developments on this story.
