Holy shit. Want.

Kotaku is trying to figure out what it is, game trailer, or movie promo.

that actually looked really good. could've done without Jai White's over-the-topness though.

What the hell?! That trailer's a pretty darn clever way to introduce a reboot, while tossing the film's look and semi-"realism" right at us. I'm certainly interested.

Nothing on IMDB for this.

Is it just a teaser created to find production money?

What the hell - that looks awesome.

Cool marketing if it is a new movie or web series.

I agree it's well-made and I would enjoy a new MK movie on par or better than the first one but this trailer felt so wink-wink to MK fans that it just didn't do anything for me. Hopefully, though, it does something for some investors.

I honestly don't give a damn about MK. It's a crappy game franchise BUT it does have visually interesting characters (depending on which one you play) with a plot that can sustain the fighting..and that's all you need for a film based off of it. As long as it's well made as well.

All the time, I thought the prisoner in shadow was going to be Kano. Not too keen on changing Baraka. I thought he was a minion of Shao Khan?

Re: New Mortal Kombat trailer?

Shit, that looked awesome! It might be a new Isaac Florentine produced movie from the news update listed below:


CHUD says the footage is definitely related to a new film, and that “it comes from the mind of genius fight choreographer Larnell Stovall. He’s the guy who did the fights for the excellent Undisputed 3: Redemption, on DVD and Blu-Ray right now.”

Michael Jai White put out a casting call for MMA fighters who can act or actors who can fight on his Twitter.

Interesting. I'd like to see this as a feature.

And I also thought the guy was gonna be Kano.

Mortal Kombat? How incredibly relevant.

Still, that trailer...thing was fun fanservice. And I'm always happy to see MJW get work.

Not sure if they're playing this tongue-in-cheek or not, but I'd def be on board. After Black Dynamite, Jai White can do no wrong in my book.
