Mortal Kombat movie reboot in the works, stars supermarket worker
Mortal Kombat is receiving a $40 million movie reboot over at Warner Bros, and you won’t believe the plot.
We know Johnny Cage, we can’t believe it either, but Total Film reports that production has already begun. It is said to star a supermarket employee who learns of their untapped super powers. They then embark on a quest – replace ‘quest’ with ‘hitting people’ – to the tune of a $40-50million production budget.
Warner executive Lance Sloa told Total Film, “We’re preparing right now for the film with Kevin Tancharoen, [who] directed the digital series for us. He’s at the helm of the forty, fifty million dollar film.”
It is said to be a reboot of the 1995 original, which – amazingly – could possibly still be one of the most faithful game movies to date.
Now everybody. Hit it!

I really liked the first one, even with Goro looking like a cheese sculpture. The timing for it was just right. I still have it on DVD. I guess if it’s done right, a reboot could be successful, but I wonder if the timing now works against it. It’s no longer the heyday of MK.

As long as the fight scenes are good (I mean Tony Jaa good) then this movie will do fine

Modern Hollywood can’t make something that good and they probably won’t hire the choreographer of those films.

Was this really an official announcement? I felt like the Warner Bros exec was talking about MK Legacy Season 2 and just threw random and probably unofficial quote about a movie to hype the web eries.
