Yep, that's right, a new Mortal Kombat movie is supposedly set to start production this September through Warner Bros.
WB recently acquired a large portion of Midway Games' assets and with that purchase were the rights to Mortal Kombat. Soon after the announcement was made the former actor/ martial artist, Chris Casamassa, who played Scorpion in the original two movies, stated during an interview with the SGV Tribune, a newspaper out of California, that he's set to start filming on the third movie this September...
No-one seems to have heard about this whatsoever, so for now it's all pie in the sky, but with WB obtaining the rights and Chris saying he's set to return to his role, will we be seeing another MK movie in 2010? And will it be a big budget reboot by WB or a straight to DVD crap-fest? Only time will tell.
I've played all the MK video games and I still think that the second game is the best, I was unbeatable at MK back in the day and really loved it, but the franchise went downhill and even teaming up the characters with the DC Universe heroes and villains didn't bring it back to life for me... Shame, maybe this movie will be good... Then again maybe not. All I can hear in my head now is "FINISH HIM!"
