'Mortal Kombat' reboot will be rated R for all the fatalities
Filming is set to start soon on the upcoming Mortal Kombat reboot, which is in pre-production in Australia under the wing of producer James Wan. Tidbits about what's in store are starting to emerge, such as the casting of The Raid star Joe Taslim as series lynchpin Sub-Zero. The latest news on the movie comes from writer Greg Russo, who said the production team is gunning for an R rating. And yes, it'll include proper fatalities.
A new 'Mortal Kombat' movie will start filming this year
More than two decades after the last movie, another Mortal Kombat film is on the way. Pre-production will start this month and the cameras are scheduled to start rolling in Adelaide, Australia later this year. South Australia Premier Steven Marshall said it'll be the biggest film production in the state's history.
Keifer Sutherland confirms involvement in new Mortal Kombat
Keifer Sutherland's presence in games might not be a one-and-done scenario. The 24 star - and new voice of Snake in Metal Gear Solid 5 - recently told IGN that he will also be involved in a new Mortal Kombat. "I did Mortal Kombat, and that's such a huge game, but it's so not like [MGS5]," Sutherland said. Sutherland's involvement in a new MK game would make sense, given that Mortal Kombat Legacy Producer Lance Sloane said in July that studios were in the process of figuring out how to best time the release of a new game with the upcoming movie. Sutherland did not confirm his role for the game, but we're guessing ... Scorpion. No, wait. Raiden. No, Shao Kahn! Oh, the possibilities! [Image: Warner Bros]
Mortal Kombat film director steps aside to avoid a creative fatality
Kevin Tancharoen, the director of Mortal Kombat: Legacy, has officially stepped away from all things mortal and combative, he revealed via Twitter. Tancharoen headed up the Legacy webseries after launching Mortal Kombat Rebirth, a short, gritty film starring classic Mortal Kombat characters, in 2010. In 2011, New Line Cinema tapped Tancharoen to direct a feature film in the Mortal Kombat universe, though the franchise's IP rights were in limbo at the time. "After 3 years of Kombat, I've decided to move on to other creative opportunities," he writes. "I wish everyone involved in the movie big success. Thanks!" The entire second season of Mortal Kombat: Legacy went live courtesy of Machinima on September 27. It's 10 episodes long, so if news of Tancharoen's departure has you hankering for a fight, get started here.
