Budget For The New MORTAL KOMBAT Movie Revealed

Hope is not too much realistic like that shit show. MK must be as fantastic and gritty as possible.

MK MUST and i mean MUST be like the GAME, magic, sorcery, gruesome and bloody, rated r is a MUST

im still not sure about the possible plot, sounds like studio meddling to me.

and if WB was smart, they would do it like MARVEL, make solo movies about Liu Kang & Kung Lao, Sub Zero, Raiden & Sonya and maybe kitana....

I'm excited for this movie but [frick] they never say anything about it. We haven't heard a single update for a long ass time. Hopefully the movie is good but my anticipation is dying with each passing month of no news. Hopefully it's great though.

MK > SF

Scorpion's always been my favorite MKer but the one i'm really looking forward to is a kombatant I've waited YEARS to see on the big screen since MKIII on the SNES

I don't mind the budget. I mean, look at Neveldine/Taylor. Highest budget they've had is 75 million dollars and they look really good for those kinds of budget.

Kevin Tancharoen is a fan of the series, I like that. I don't like everything else about his vision.

1: Realism: ABSOLUTELY NO! Yes, I understand as far as believability in CERTAIN characters. Goro, Reptile and Baraka are characters that must stay unbelieveable.

2: Mispronunciation: Watch the Kitana/Mileena episode of Mortal Kombat: Legacy, my case is rested.

3: Mortal Kombat: Rebirth: The only enjoyable things about that short film is the acting and the fight scene. Everything else stripped Mortal Kombat of what made it so great.

I have since restarted since I had to crash my computer a couple of weeks ago, I am hard at work on my Mortal Kombat script that does better justice to the storylines and characters of the Mortal Kombat universe than anything Tancharoen has done to the franchise. If the trailer for the reboot looks like crap, I will buy the dvd only to take a dump on it. While I like, Mortal Kombat: Legacy, I don't consider anything the director has made to be part of the Mortal Kombat mythos.

You ruin my favorite videogame franchise, I will crap on your vision. Literally.

Don't get me wrong I love the MK franchise, I think I've played every game. But, I don't have high hopes for this movie. Especially with that low of a budget. I was 12 when MK1 game came out and the first movie is one of my guilty pleasures. I still remember sitting at my grandmas house and seeing the tralier for the movie and flipping out. Seeing that snake/spear comming from Scorpion and flying thru the bamboo forest, it gave me chills. Kinda weird that that memory has stayed with me, I hope I feel that way when I see the tralier for this one too.

Damn, I wanna see me some Noob-Saibot!

That plot synopsis sounds like total CRAP.

"A lowly supermarket clerk..."

Get the hell out of town with that crap. There has got to be at least 20 different possibilities other than this brain fart idea. Jeeez.

Oh and guys remember just because Bloody Disgusting said that this was the supposed plot doesn't make it true....I can count more than one occasion where these morons were wrong.

mortal kombat will just never work as well on film as it has in video games.

these hollywood folks invest a shit-ton of money into adapting things that have worked in other mediums. but sometimes, it's just a bad fit.

the mortal kombat universe works best in video game form.
same for dragonball and bleach. they shouldn't be made into films. they work best as anime+manga.

uh.... the plot..

*sigh* I really want this to be good but... ugh, I'll reserve judgement until I see a trailer but I don't have a good feeling about this.

Mr. Sloan has estimated a budget between $40 million to $50 million. To put that into some sort of perspective, the first live-action Mortal Kombat film that starred Christopher Lambert only had a budget of $18 million and pulled in $122 million at the worldwide box office.

$40-50 million today is equivalent to how much it took to make MK back in 1995, so I'm not expecting much of an improvement.

Awful plot, terrible director, and the web-series was overrated. Destined to be straight to DVD. I hope that I'm wrong, but I doubt it.

I'm almost completely positive that plot is fake...Highly Doubt WB would allow something that dumb.

If its anything like the web series, to hell with it.
