Now I don’t know about the rest of you all, but I have been dying for a new Mortal Kombat movie for quite some time now. With significant upgrades in technology since Annihilation, I think there is a lot of potential for a great MK movie. I recently discovered some footage for what could possibly be a new Mortal Kombat movie which includes footage of Reptile, Jax, a cool Baraka vs. Johnny Cage fight scene, and other character introductions. Check out the clip and find out more about it after the jump.
With some serious production value seen in the clip, it definitely isn’t some sort of gimmick but the question is, is it for a new video game promotion or an actual movie? In the video we get to learn about a few characters and their back stories. One notable actor is Michael Jai White (Black Dynamite, Spawn) who plays the role of Jax which leads me to believe even further that there is something special in the works since he isn’t a very small name.
The whole look and feel of the clip is very different then what we have seen in the world of Mortal Kombat so I think we can expect some transformations in many of the characters and their personalities. I think the costumes, if we ever get a look at them, are going to be darker, grungy, and a little more ragged looking. I say this because when you look at Baraka I get a completely different vibe then I do when looking at him in the video game. Yes they are both psychotic but this real life version’s blades are so amateur that I think everyone will be different in many ways (or maybe he will upgrade to some badass blades for the tournament).
Anyway, this clip really fires me up and has reignited my Mortal Kombat loving flame in hopes of a movie. Right now it has a working title of Mortal Kombat: Devastation and is scheduled to be released in 2013. Please let me know what you think because I would love to hear if you are as excited as me.
