Mortal Kombat Again?

While this isn't really TV and the clip has made its rounds in the intarwebz, the past day or two, I just had to post all its awesome-ness on the site!



From what I've read, it's a short film made by director Kevin Tanchareon to pitch for another Mortal Kombat movie. Well, that's according to Jeri Ryan, who tweeted some info about the clip. Aside from Ryan, the clip does have other legit actors in it, like Michael Jai White aka Spawn. They play Sonia Blade and Jax, respectively. It looks awesome, and while it does take some liberties in the mythology of the video game characters, I'll let it slip, since the source material isn't even that deep. Mortal Kombat gained its popularity because of its gore, and the finishing moves, where the game's the voice instructs the player to, "Finish him!" and this short clip captures that quality of Mortal Kombat that previous movie and television adaptations missed. Maybe with the clip making rounds, Warner Brothers would decide to green light this.

Hope you guys enjoy watching it!
