Mortal Kombat Remake Coming?

Mortal Kombat: Annihilation was so bad I tried stabbing my eyes out with a spork.. twice. So when news came up that a possible third film was on the horizon I was actually looking forward to it. I don't think the franchise has ever had a proper film. Even the first film was made to soon and the technology needed to make a true Mortal Kombat film was a ways away.

Today however Clint Morris from Moviehole spoke with the new director behind the "re-envisioning" of the film, mink (Yea his name is really mink). Anyway he revealed that the Producers are working everything out at this point with the studio. He went on to talk about the project a little more:

"Todays audience is a savvy involved group so the film must be A plus plus in every area in order to capture the magic of the first film. It is taking the entire concept to the next level across the board in every area visual design, story, cast, FX, photography and most importantly the fighting scenes. The original Mortal Kombat game was born a child of many visual loves by the creators at midway so this latest version borrows heavily from that pioneering spirit and must be thought out and executed at the highest level in order for it succeed in today's market place. This is no overnight task.''

Other than he didn't have much to say other than no one has been cast and everything is still very much up in the air until things get worked out. Hopefullly we will get a new film that is worthy of the original video game by Midway. As long as its done better than mink doesn't bring in Steven Seagal from his last film he directed Into the Sun, this could turn out.
