Will we be seeing new versions of fatalities from a popular video game franchise remake in the near future? Bloody-Disgusting is reporting that talks are under way for a remake of Mortal Kombat.

The site is reporting that Warner Bros. have been in talks with writer Oren Uziel to write the new film. Uziel's unproduced screenplay Shimmer Lake was named to the infamous Black List in 2009, which ranks the best unproduced screenplays currently on the market.

The 1995 Mortal Kombat film spawned the sequel, Mortal Kombat: Annihilation in 1997. No further details on the reboot were known, but stay tuned right here as we'll be sure to keep you updated on the status of this remake.

I hope this isn't just talks man. I've been waiting for another mortal Kombat Since the CGI era started getting good. The script don't even have to be that good. Keep it simple.

Hope it's good but the game itself needs a reboot, and judging from the trailer Tekken needs a reboot. All they had to focus on was the Mishima zaibatsu or the Tekken 3 story.

in terms of fighting game movie adaptions, MK is the only one in my eyes that has a very good chance of making it entertaining with minimum B.S. The first one was "good" and caught my attention, the second one was crap and they seriously need to give this a full reboot makeover! Since the other movies were so far back in the years, "most" people forgot about it and nows a good time to recreate it. this movie can't get (excuse the term and correct me if im wrong) Spider-man'd! lol

Not again.
Trying to make movies out of these types of fighting games is ruining the reputation of video-game movies.
Bad idea.

Man I cant wait for the new MK game coming out and if they use the Gore engine in GOW III that would be AMAZING!

Oh,and they should add a bigger roster,not Armaggedon big but MK 3 big,and they should have unlockable charecters,the only thing I hated about MK VS DC.
