FAQ's
Who is directing?
Effrem J. Adams from Hartford CT is writing & directing. Google for more info.
Which GAME characters are in the film?
See list above. However the actors for Kobra and Quan Chi have not been cast yet.
Why are there NEW characters in this movie (Han, Nikki, and Tony)?
I decided to go the "Mortal Kombat Conquest" route. Meaning new characters that interact with game characters. The key word in this production is fan film and it has a very thin line between copyright infringement. We don't need Threshold knocking at our doors. Although no actor has been cast to play Han due to being unable to find Asian actors.
I don't like how Havik looks, where is his horrid face?
Be patient, did you think we would upload everything and leave you with no surprises?
When does the story take place?
As far as movie continuity it takes place 20 years after Annihilation.
Why are there scenes that take place in the city?
Stryker is a riot control cop from New York. Let's not ask idiotic questions.
Do the actors know any martial arts?
No, but they are doing the best they can.
What is the films budget?
$0
Who makes the costumes?
My mom, and me and friends help.
How do you pick locations?
Well it's snowing here which is not something good for filmmaking. I try to find free locations to shoot at.
It doesn't "feel" like MK...?
The original films are very dated. What made the first MK movie so great is that the characters actually interacted with the real world. Unlike the unrealistic sequel Annihilation where characters have no contact with anyone other than video game characters, we wanted to give the characters in our film the sense that they really care about humanity. It has a much more of a real world setting.
The government?
Let's not pretend like "Mortal Kombat Special Forces" was never a video game.
Music?
Suspense, rock, and techno.
Running time?
Hour and thirty minutes.
Special effects in the movie?
A few characters use powers and special moves, but this isn't Power Rangers.
Blood & Gore?
I'd say this is rated R!
When is the release date?
Originally it was the end of Feb, but we have experienced a few setbacks due to casting and Kira's injury. We are aiming for the end of March. MARCH 28TH to be exact.
Why not make a movie based on the original story?
It's been done before and may be done again (remake) according to Hollywood rumors. I think its time to move on to new things and shed light on characters that never get to enter the spotlight. I doubt characters like Havik or Darrius would ever make it into a hollywood MK movie.
Why does it take place so many years later?
It has been 13 years in real time since the first movie. I don't see why a few more years would be an issue.
Kabal is no longer in the film?
No. We decided to go with Jarek. He was easier to portray plus Annihilation seemed to have skipped over him entirely. Plus the actor we have is great.
Do Kitana and Mileena fight?
Of course or what's the point?
Some characters don't wear the right clothes...?
We are saving the best release photos for last. Most "costume rendering" takes place during the final fight. Besides, if characters didn't change clothes for days at a time then that would just be kind of gross!
Where do you find your actors?
Craigslist.
What are you editing on?
Imovie and Windows Movie Maker.
Why isn't Sub-zero in the film?
Brush up on your history of Noob Saibot.
Do you have a day job?
This question makes me laugh, but yes lol. I'm the parking attendant at a concert theatre (well during the summer at least). I make $8.30 an hour. Although right now I'm currently out of a job.
Can you shed light on some matches?
Sub-zero vs. Noob Saibot and Kitana vs. Mileena are give-ins.
Bo'Rai is white?
We have an actor, but that is subject to change. We have held off the production of his scenes in hopes of finding a more suitable actor.
What's going on with Kira? Is she okay?
Kira is back with us as of Jan 28th 2008.

About Me

I'm not sure about the storyline. The idea that there was some kind of government cover-up doesn't make sense. I mean, for a week the entire world was being torn to shit. But whatever, I'm sure this'll be great regardless. Though, I would like to know about the 'Son of Scorpion' and 'Essence of Noob' as those don't really make sense at all being that both characters are dead (one moreso then the other, but still)....
0
I don't like it very much....but it's a very good idea make a homemade movie about MK.
You need to focus on fighting scenes,acting ad a bit more blood than the movies.About the storyline,use the current characters.

Could be a good project, I personally say work with the Classic MK story line (the one that most people prefer). You could Start from the very beginning and make an entire series directly based on the video games using the endings to write what happens in the next movie.

Thanks for the feedback guys. The story concerns are mostly due to the lack of money, for I am a regular guy just like everyone else here, with a regular day job.
Son of Scorpion :
In Armageddon it is revealed in one of the endings that Scorpion is finally reunited with his family. Since my movie takes place 20 years after MK:Annihilation, the events in the games from 1997 when MK:Annihilation came out, to now, could be considered to have already happened. I wanted to make sure that my film could stand on its own regardless of any new games or movies that may come out, hence the movie taking place in the far future.
Son of Scorpion is a Scorpion like character (His Son) that I created for the movie becuase I dont have the money to dipict the original Scorpion faithfully.
Essence of Noob Saibot :
Not to give away too much of my script, but this is the "New" Noob Saibot, for the original character was killed in MK:Annihilation, horribly may I add. He comes to form when a warrior recieves a bottle from the Shadow Priest, which in it contains the "Essence" of Noob Saibot and his powers.
The Kitana vs Mileena storyline however will be faithful to its origins as best I can.
The "Special Forces" gonverment cover up conspiracy in my film is used to calm down any suspicions. Keep in mind that at the end of MK:Annihilation everything is set back to normal and it was not made clear wether or not citizens would even remember what happened during that week of mayhem except for the Kombatants. This information will be told to us by Kitana or either a cameo from a Special Forces member. Stryker, Kabal, Kenshi, Sonya, Jax ect... maybe you guys can help me decide.
The film overall all is more of a sequel to the events of the movies rather than the games.

About Me
I need a new sig, something with Kabal from UMK3 would be sweet. Just imagine that here

I had the same idea to make an MK movie myself, it never worked out for me though. Good Luck dude

Honestly, I don't think you should create this film. Fanboys are hard to please, they'll whine and bitch about everything. Just ask Zentile.
There's no way you'll please anyone with this project. That's not to say you don't have talent, or won't make it big one day. Just don't expect this project to get praise.
Best of luck to you.

I have 3 full screenplays written to continue Mortal Kombat from the second movie, into MK4, MK5, MK6. They are so good that they scored me a job as a staff writer with Fox. I can't use the screenplays or sell them, but I can give them to you.

Thanks Sitebender and congrats to you. If I come across the need I'll be sure to let you know.
MK Next Generation is more of a short film. As a test run, if it does well then we will most likely make a direct sequel to MK:A on a bigger budget scale. It will all depend on our interent fan base and feedback.

Just to keep you guys updated as we do more revising to the script, Kabal will play a large role in the film as the new Black Dragon leader. See him first time ever in a live action appearance.

Hey guys! Thanks for all your support!
Recently we just got the Noob Saibot and Scorpion costumes in so pictures will be up soon!
The script is nearly complete and final draft will be ready shortly. We are still casting, but should be done with that soon as well.
The new film dates are from September - December for a Jan 08 release date! This means a new mortal kombat medium will be coming sooner than we thought! We are already getting ideas for a sequel off the ground for a May release!
Most of the main score/soundtrack has been decide on and I will have samples of that posted shortly.

This is an interesting attempt on your part. I haven't checked out the myspace page yet, but will soon.
I've read the storyline, and I'm not sure about "replacing" some of the characters with your own. You're omitting certain characters from the project that are very important and well-liked by the series' fans and placing new ones in their place that may and probably won't be as well-received, IMHO.
Good luck with it, though, I'll be checking more out ASAP.
