Mortal Kombat movie that won't be cheesy!?

I thought it was rather cheesy. I hope this isn't a movie, it looks fucking terrible. The only thing mortal kombat-like in this teaser is Jax is black, and the names are all the same.

Besides that, I have a feeling it would turn out just like the last Street Fighter movie, completely fucking horrible and would make me leave the theatre within 10 minutes of the movie.
 
But then why would Baraka be a human?

There are rumors that the new MK game is a complete reboot of the franchise.

Anyway this was posted on Jeri Ryan's twitter:

"Okay, so... Mortal Kombat. It's not a game trailer. Actually was made for the director to sell WB on his vision for a reimagined MK film. [...] I did it as a favor to a friend. No idea yet what WB's reaction to it was. And I'm not sure how you can contact WB to push them to make it. But you guys are resourceful...! ;-)"
 
I was reading that this possibly isn't a new movie at all but rather a teaser for the new Mortal Kombat video game. People are saying that it will be revealed at E3.

I believe the article states there is a completely new vision for the game to bring it into a whole new era for Mortal Kombat.

Again, it is a completely new vision for Mortal Kombat. It is highly likely not going to be like all the other Mortal Kombats we know and love. I mean towards the end it got rather convoluted with all them characters. Keep it simple, I say.

I seriously hope it turns into a movie! It looks great! I bet if this video gets out and Ed Boon and [first name?] Tobias get the feedback, as well as WB, there will be real serious consideration. From the looks of the preview it holds HUGE potential. I'm stoked!

John Tobias. He really hasn't been active as far as MK is concerned. He left the MK team around MK: Special Forces but he did briefly come back to draw the comic book for the MK vs DC Collector's Editions.
 
The best way to prevent a movie from being cheesy is not to make one. Every Mortal Kombat movie has been garbage and the newest one to continue out will continue the trend.
 
The Mortal Kombat 9 trailer is here. It looks like they're following Street Fighter IV's trend by making it 2D with 3D elements. It also looks like it maybe is sort of reboot and it looks great.

what the fuck you lookin at?
Might be worth seeing. The first 2 were overly cheesy. This looks like it could actually be watchable!
 
The Movie trailer looked like crap. I just can't stomach that "realistic" take on the characters.

On the other hand, that game trailer looks fucking awesome! If that's any indication of the final product, then I'm just going to go ahead and say "Best... Mortal Kombat Game - Ever!" :D

This looks great, I hope it'll be made.
 
More info on the "movie"

http://www.slashfilm.com/2010/06/10/full-details-on-kevin-tancharoens-mortal-kombat-rebirth/

he short film was shot in early April completely on spec. It was shot over two days on two RED cameras for or $7,500 with most of the crew donating their time. Post production took two months, and no one at the studio knew anything about the spec short film, even though screenwriter Oren Uziel (who is attached to the next Mortal Kombat movie according to imdb) wrote the script. Tancharoen made the film as a pitch for the job. The fight choreography was done by Larnell Stovall, who worked on the fight sequenced in Undisputed III, and did stunts for The Other Guys and Green Lantern.

the live action trailer is a pitch to WB. to me it looks like Dark Knight meets MK. the way they went realistic with the characters. but either way I hope it gets greenlit, WB can throw way more funding than the 1st 2 had. plus the trailer for the new game looks fantastic. i wonder if the game is a reboot as well (I kinda hope it is).

It'd be better than the majority of teen dramas on the channel, I know that much!

I meant WB as in Warner Bros. the movie studio. I don't think they could put this on cable, unless it was HBO or something. Sorry bout the confusion.

Well silly me should have known better since it is now called CW too...

Ah well, yeah, I hope it turns into a movie or straight to video movie. I don't care! I want to see this!
