Deadline reports that New Line Cinema will reboot the Mortal Kombat film series, and have hired Kevin Tancharoen to direct.

Tancharoen, as you may know, also helmed the Mortal Kombat: Rebirth short film that became a viral video sensation as well as the Mortal Kombat: Legacy web series that it spawned.

Oren Uziel, whose horror mashup script The Kitchen Sink made the industry's highly coveted Black List of unproduced screenplays, has been tapped to script the film. Although its plot is being kept under wraps, The Hollywood Reporter claims, "There is no actor attached and the new story will not serve as an extension of the game or digital series."


For those who haven't seen the Rebirth trailer, check it out below.

Doesn't look that good.

I thought it was an interesting new take on the idea but wouldn't work as a feature length movie. Half of MK is the silly 'other realms' and half man-half god knows what creatures. Not including things like that would take away from what MK is all about.

I'll be curious to see where the new movie goes
