Update on the New Mortal Kombat Movie

The director of the new Mortal Kombat movie, “Mink,” talked to Moviehole about the upcoming third installment of the franchise. I wasn’t expecting much of anything from this film, yet after reading these comments, I’m somehow really worried.
Mink told moviehole:
“(the new movie will be a) re-envisioning(if that is a word) of the Mortal Kombat franchise from top to bottom. 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.”
As a child and a gamer, I loved the first Mortal Kombat film. However, now that I’m a grown man, I can fully realize how ridiculous and downright terrible it was (not to say that it isn’t still fun to watch). I don’t know if shooting to capture “the magic” of the first movie is the right move at all.

As long as they recreate the magic of the mud wrestling Sonja Blade from the second one, they’ll do fine I’m sure :o)

If they would just pic a bad ass storyline, like sub-zero’s and scorpions fued. (The one from the mortal kombat book) Or for that matter, make a movie based on the book. Have the characters fight and use their special abilities throughout the fight sequences, throw in a couple of fatalities and BAM.. They would have a successful, true to the game movie that everyone would love. I don’t get how the big wigs miss this. They sit and scratch their heads all day on how to make us happy…then they never listen..EVER. I think The big wigs should surf the internet boards more often and hear what we are saying.
