Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Concept by Chris K (A.k.a Fireblade) Seekaedigital@hotmail.com

If Mortal Kombat was to ever return to television perhaps it could be turned in a weekly series called Mortal Kombat Mythlogies, where an older character like Shujinko starts each show off as if telling a story or reading from an old book or something along those lines and each weeks its a different story about a different character from the Mortal Kombat universe. All live action. With first class effects and great actors. This would allow for anyone to sit down and watch an episode with out seeing from any point in the series at each episode would be like a mini movie about a partical character or event in the MK universe. Another point of interest would be guest stars, famous actors that maybe inclined to make cameos or appearances in an episode.

Some characters may have more than one story dedicated to them others may only form part of a story and so one. There would be no story arc, or continuing plot each week, its an independant episode. And they range in time periods as well some could be set 1000s years ago when the Elder gods battled it out or some could be set last week when JAX was appointed to special forces etc:

For example season 1 could include 24 epsiodes and focus on the following story lines
:
Week 1: Mortal Kombat, destiny of the Monk (focuses on Kung Lao)
Week 2: The Rise of The Thunder god.
Week 3: Chill of the Night: The life of a cold assassin.
Week 4: Special Forces: Mission over (Jax and Sonya become partners)
Week 5: Survial in Outworld: Looks at a young Shao Kahn and his rise to power

Week 6: War in the Heavens (Elder gods wage war)
Week 7: Life in Hollywood: How Johhny became Famous
Week 8: Life Long Grudge (Scorpion V.s Sub-Zero)
Week 9: Liu Kang Born for Destiny (Why is Liu Kang the choosen one)
Week 10: The Rains coming ( the Life of Rain in the Edenian Armies)
Week 11: Netherrealm (Looks at Quan chi)
Week 12: Black Dragon sees Red (Kano and Malvado start a massive gang war in the streets of L.A)

Week 13: Tale of a Soul Stealer: (Shang Tsungs rise to power)
Week 14: Automation ( How the Lin Kuei build a new assasin)
Week 15: The Prince (Goro claims his throne)
Week 16: The Elemental gods Quest ( Fujin leads his brothers on a quest)
Week 17: Cursed for Life (Scorpion swears revenge for his famliy and becoems demon)

Week 18 : Reptile (shows reptiles recruitment by Shang Tsung)
Week 19 : Liu Kang in Mortal Kombat ( focuses on Kangs victory of Shang Tsung and Goro)

Week 20: Death by Black Dragon (Sonya looks for revenge when her old partner is killed by Kano)

Week 21: Brothers of the shadow ( Focuses on Noob Saibot)
Week 22: God of Thunder : ( Raiden must confront Shao Kahn personally)
Week 23: Shinjinko's fable (basically a 2 part episode of MKD)
Week 24 Part 2:

Interesting you mention that because I myself am also a scriptwriter and am facing the exact same dilemma that you are. With each passing year it becomes much more difficult to be taken seriously and or sell a script in this business. Perhaps we could work together or share ideas about the business.

Anyway it is doubtful that a MK television series will be produced now. The best chance of any of this happenning would be if the third MK film was released and was extremely successful which would cause more willingness from Hollywood.

This idea is kind of unique, it is Tales From The Crypt with a Mortal Kombat Twist on it. I like the idea of this show, but unfortunatley not many actually are big fans of the game to sponsor this show. If there was a television show like that I don't think it would be succesful. However, if someone like Steven Spielberg had an interest in something like this, which I doubt, then the chances of the show to actually come to life and survive will increase.
