Special thanks to @gosoxtim869 for posting this as a followup to one of my posts. This is a very lengthy article and worthy of its own topic so it gets the attention it deserves. Lots of things discussed that I think fans are interested in knowing.
A Johnny Cage standalone movie?
An MK Cinematic Universe?
An Out-of-This-World Liu Kang?

As you read this article, be careful to read it carefully. It has a lot of word play. The director or whoever mentions they used real martial artists (that was the same line Kasanoff used for the 1995 film despite Bridgette Wilson was a model, not a martial artist) goes on to say they did their own stunts. But after screengrabbing the trailer, I can affirm that is a false and overhyped statement - Tara Macken is clearly seen as Mileena in the roll-over stunt and a younger, bigger man is seen as Scorpion at times in the gym fight.
The director also pokes fun at the fact Goro was a puppet in the 1995 film. Goro is 100% CGI and trust me, it shows.
