Kevin Tancharoen Reveals He Won't Direct The MORTAL KOMBAT Movie

I thought Legacy was a pretty neat spin on MK. Not a huge fan of season 2, but it was cool to see. Hopefully, whomever is at the helm of the movie can take it to the next level and we can see a kick-ass Mortal Kombat movie.

way to end on a bad note with season 2 :(

Thank god.

I vote the MK title should adapt this onto the big screen:



WITH THE CHESS:

Oh man what a shame while his take on Mortal Kombat was not exactly what I would've liked it was pretty interesting depiction.

Mortal Kombat Legacy Movie. ...¡¡¡NOW!!!

That's a shame.

@ MikeHawk

Thanks!

NOOO!!!!!

He was the reason the world opened up to Mortal Kombat in live-action again. Ugh!
His sister (who played Scorpion's wife) is Jed Whedon's wife. Maybe he's moving onto Agents of SHIELD?

damn just gon bail on the movie like that? is he gonna keep doin the webseries

Lol! Damn Grif!

Good, he was so bad as a director for a freaking online series, imagine him directing a flick on the big screen (IMO)?!?

Now, for a Mortal Kombat, they should get a filmmaker who at least isn't just great at directing action and fighting, but also understands the mythology and culture behind this franchise, as well as a writer who at least can pen a good script. For director, get someone like Justin Lin (Fast Five and Fast & Furious 6) or Ang Lee (Life Of Pi, Brokeback Mountain), not because they are asians (not in a racist manner), but they can get behind the style and feel of Mortal Kombat and can bring it to life. The story/plot can obviously take notes and have The Avengers as an inspiration, but since this is most likely an origin story, you should start with a small ensemble of at least 10-12 characters (and actors) in total for the MK Competition.

That being said, the following should be the characters that should be in the film, and the actors that I put portraying them are just examples as well as some who can pull off their roles:

-Liu Kang (played by John Cho)
-Sonya Blade (played by Scarlett Johansson)
-Johnny Cage (played by Ryan Gosling)
-Raiden (played by Liam Neeson)
-Jackson "Jax" Briggs (played by Jamie Foxx)
-Sub-Zero (played by Donnie Yen)
-Scorpion (played by Scott Adkins)
-Shang Tsung (played by Ken Watanabe)
-Kano (played by Joel Edgerton)
-Goro (played and voiced by Ron Perlman)
-Reptile (played by Ray Park)
-Sheeva (played by Ming-Na Wen)

@JGAR

Ang Lee ? Gosling ? Johansson ?

Give me some of that meds you took, now !

Ian Anthony Dale as Scorpion
Adkins as Jarek
Luke Goss as Cage
The Rock or Michael Jay White as Jax
Tony Jaa as Liu Kang
Dacascos as Kung Lao

@JGAR

I agree with most of your cast there, but a few changes.

Liu Kang - Tony Jaa
Sonya - Famke Janssen or Katie Sachoff
Johnny Cage - Sam Worthington
Jax - Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson or Dwayne Johnson
Shang Tsung - Jackie Chan (as a villain for the first time!)

Makes sense. Where would they even go with the movie after all that happened in the series? There wasn't a very strict sense of continuity and logic as the episodes progressed; seemingly random things happened without rhyme or reason. The style and tone were nice, and the acting wasn't half bad, but that's about where the positive begins and ends.

Seems like he simply got it out of his system; the MK monkey is off his back.

MORTAL WOMBAT!!

FERRET HIM!!

Lol good because his script/description for the movie sounds horrible a supermarket clerk goes into the portal of outwotld when he fights the mortal kombaters true story listen to what I said a SUPERMARKET CLERk are you serious
