In response to the growing rumors about the third Mortal Kombat movie going around, DArqueBishop contacted Chris at Threshold Entertainment reguarding the matter. His response is as follows: "The answer I must give is, `We are not announcing who is writing the third MK movie right now.' I can also tell you the one thing third movie WILL NOT BE NAMED, is Domination. We have contacted IMDB and told them we'd love to give them factual info...". So, despite what IMDB states, the writer and title for the next movie has not been announced yet.

Well what can we say - Surprise? Today marks the third anniversary of MK5.org! It's really hard to believe that three years ago this minute we opened up our website for the first time.
