I hope it will be Gory and not T rated :S

I'm all for a new movie as long as the cast and story are good. I just hope the series justice if they do decide to go ahead with it.

Hopefully they will expand on Sub-Zero and Scorpion's rivalry and give them some decent screen time

ALSO

If this screenwriter knows his Mortal Kombat, maybe we will get to see Scorpion kill the original Sub-Zero for the first time

Ah, finally. About time that we finally get a new movie. I hope it'll be finally be R, with blood and gruesome deaths, but it doesn't really need to be too gory.

I want some level of realism. I don't want any of these game kills, where everyone can effortlessly rip off limbs or pull out organs.

Nothing surprising here. Warner Bros would be foolish to do otherwise. I want it to have a somewhat serious tone. I don't have much hope for that but we'll see if this goes anywhere. I want it to be R-rated but I would bet money we get a PG-13 film.

Oh well. Here's hoping this turns out good for the future of the franchise.

Go Mortal Kombat!

I'm all for it. I hope they make some wise decisions.

Ooo awesome!

I hope this actually makes MK look cool rather than cheesy.

I can see how it will happen.
MK9 will sell more than any game in history. Hungry for more, the fans want a movie... and they get one that brings the highest box office earnings ever!

*wakes up from dream*

Thanks for the info!

well,I am actually excited even though this isn't much,its still nice to hear something about the third movie,even if it is a remake or reboot or revision or w.e. lol edit I personally don't want a reboot or w.e the hell these new ppl call remakes now a days. I rather see a sequel to the 1995 movie and just act like the second one never happen in 1997 lol Anyways,I hope its a good movie either way they go and I sincerely hope they get it right and to me,R rated or not, I hope they don't ruin the MK name. You can do more these days in PG-13 movies then you could back in 1997 so you never know and don't hate it just cause it may end up having a PG-13 rating.

Aww. I expected to hear that the movie was going to be bloody disgusting.

I'm suspicious about the thought of rebooting MK. I don't like reboots/remakes much.

PG-13 seems to be the new "R" WB can make it R and still bank. If they take their time and not rush it thinking people will see it just cuz of the name (See Fox's SF and Dragonball). I wish they did a movie based on Sub-Zero Mythologies. Explnd Sub-Zero, Scorpion, Raiden, Quan Chi, Smoke (ninja) and then have the ending of the movie set up for the 1st MK tournament (like it did in the game) w/ the Lin Kuei going after Shang Tsung.

Hey remember when a director was confirmed? Remember when writers were confirmed before as well? Remember when an actor was confirmed?

Yeah, I'll believe it when I see it.

I hope this actually turns into something. I just don't wanna see the same actors as was supposedly confirmed for the next mk. I wanna see something follow the mk storyline too. But that's too much to ask I bet. Wb is going in the right direction though

Well,assuming all this news is real,then I can only assume we probably won't see it released until summer of 2011 and thats also assuming its not going straight to video.

I wonder when we might get a blu ray release of MK1&2 and of MKC.

Ok, but if we talk about the movie adaptations, they are so cheap they can be erased without regret IMHO.

This. I have confidence in WB though, so hopefully we will get that information soon - but not before a good script is written up.

It better be good and it should have some MK2 characters in it too like Kitana, Mileena, Jade, Jax, Kung Lao, and Baraka. There should be new characters introduced too (similar to what happened in the Resident Evil movies).

This is awesome news, in my opinion. Remakes/reboots have been done fairly well in the adaptation world recently. For example, the Batman franchise. Christopher Nolan breathed some epic life into that. If the writer takes the story to heart (like any true reboot should do), then we might actually get an accurate MK movie.

A problem with the concept of a Mortal Kombat film, is that people expect deaths and shit, but then you kill off characters who have a purpose later in the franchise. Either this should be stand-alone, or they should go in with the idea of minimalising blood and gore for scenes that matter. Instead of making the tournament a "fight to the death," give it honourable rules. You could still have some moments of extreme violence, though -- Sub-Zero V's death, potentially some flashbacks (a fight scene between Sub-Zero and Hanzo Hasashi, for example), the massacre of Sonya's team, etc. These will stand out more if they are put in selectively, anyway.

A fight scene like Sonya vs. Kano could be well done without being over-the-top. Kano could actually win, then spare Sonya so she has to live with the knowledge that Kano is the reason her team is dead. It never happened in the games, but perhaps Kano could physically scar Sonya with his knife, giving her the look of a beautiful woman scarred? Something like that could be a detail of the movie that the video games have not included.

They shouldn't be afraid to leave it on a cliffhanger, though. Liu Kang returns after defeating Shang Tsung (sparing his life because he is not like him), only to find the Shaolin monks slaughtered, and a challenge to enter Outworld being left behind -- as Kung Lao shows up and perhaps has an exchange of dialogue with Liu Kang.

I can't believe I have read,oh if its not rated R I am not gonna go see it,then I have read,oh it better have this and that or else it will suck. Those are some pretty stupid reasons why some people won't see it. We don't even know what the story is about yet or anything other then the news there is so far. All I will say is,it just better be a good movie. The first MK movie didn't have gross hardcore fatalities and I damn well know most of you all enjoyed it and had a good time watching it. I can deal with a PG-13 MK movie in the theatres and wouldn't mind see a unrated version on dvd and blu ray with the gore stuff added in,least they make lots of money in the theatre and we get to see those fatalities at home. Its a win win imo

Since ign,gamespot and bloody-disgusting are all reporting on it,I am pretty sure this crazy thing is bound to happen. Maybe they will wait and see how the new MK game does before starting production.

Warner Brothers gets shit done....I hope

Straight to DVD

It wouldn't make sense to make a sequel of MKA. It's been over ten years, MK wasn't that big of a franchise. It's a lot more important to introduce new fans to the franchise than please the few that actually want to see what happens after MKA.


I don't agree with the idea of creating original characters for the movie though, unless it's small roles like what happened in the first movie (Master Boyd, Art Lean) or if it takes place in the past like MKC.

For those of you worried about this possible movie. Just think of it like this....

It CAN'T possibly be as worse as the last MK movie. It's just not possible.

That is all.
