Yeah. It seems to be Mortal Kombat getting the "Dark Knight" treatment.

Also, I dunno if this is gonna be a game or what. But for now, I am sticking this in Movies.

I geeked out when I saw it.

I'm hearing a lot of things on what it could be.

Like a trailer for a game or an idea for a movie.

If this turns out to be a movie, I'll be the first one in line!

This is what I found about that trailer.


Apparently our friends at Latino Review got the big scoop on this video. It was shot by Fame director Kevin Tancharoen and is supposedly a "test video" that was made to convince Warner Brothers to give them funding for a full blown hard R Mortal Kombat movie. So it's not for a video game, but it's not part of a movie - yet, at least. Kind of like that first Tron Legacy test trailer, this was made to convince them that fans would like this gritty take (and they certainly do). "Yes, this is the direction they plan on going for the Mortal Kombat reboot," says Latino Review. Even I'm amazed by all of that news. Let's hope it's all true!

Definitely an interesting take, but I would still prefer a movie true to the Mortal Kombat mythology. Just not as cheesy as the original 2. And if they move forward with this... Cage already dead? That doesn't sit well with me.

I was hoping that they didn't kill Cage in the "trailer", but oh well. That sucks..

That's the usual reply that I get whenever I mention Johnny Cage.

Don't worry, they'll have some sort of twisted plot-device that brings him back to life. Or, the twisted plot-device where he never died in the first place, just very wounded.

Let's not forget that this was just an idea made mini-trailer. It may never come to fruition, and if it does the actors will probably be different.

But then why get famous/well-known actors to do that trailer and then not be in the movie?

Only 2 were really recognizable, and according to Jeri Ryan:

I laughed when Cage died. I never felt attached to the character so seeing him dead was greeted with a shrug on my part.

If they make the movie and have him die in the tournament, that would be best instead of him losing his head in a living room fight.

Yeah the Movie is not even made yet and already Cage is dead. That's hilarious.

Let's hope for something good, but I"m not expecting lightning to strike twice, unfortunately.

We all know how well movies based on video games have been. I'm being cautiously optimistic though.
