Kevin Tancharoen who directed and produced the popular, unofficial “Mortal Kombat: Rebirth” fan short, is bringing the same immersive directing style to this live-action digital series. Kevin Tancharoen who directed and produced the popular, unofficial “Mortal Kombat: Rebirth” fan short, is bringing the same immersive directing style to this live-action digital series. “Machinima is the perfect entertainment destination to premiere the series,” said Kevin Tancharoen, Director, Producer and co-writer of “Mortal Kombat: Legacy.” “They have a massive audience of gamers from around the world. We worked very closely with NetherRealm Studios and Ed Boon, and we’re now putting the finishing touches on the episodes. I’m confident we’ve stayed true to the Mortal Kombat lore and am hoping the fans will be blown away by what they see.”

and reconfirms the origin aspect: “Mortal Kombat: Legacy” is an anthology of nine live action shorts, and brings to life the motivation behind each character’s participation in the Mortal Kombat tournament.

Oh as a bonus KTanch confirms Kano's cyber eye will be there: http://twitter.com/KTANCH/status/56190710122160129

interesting find. So this would be confirmation that the digital series is going to be in tune with the game's canon?

Likewise or atleast be confined to the MK mythos while making some tweaks but not extreme ones.

Each press release has said much the same.
Ultimately, there has probably been some interaction, but I wouldn't expect a 1:1 translation. You can find various stories with bits of the press release via our MK: Legacy overview.
