One of the many problems with the previous Mortal Kombat movies was the lack of violence. And when your movie is based on a video game in which people have their spine ripped out that can be a bit of a handicap. Kevin Tancharoen has already won over many fans with his Mortal Kombat: Legacy web series and looks to continue on the same path by suggesting that his big screen outing will be much more gruesome..
“Up to this point, we’ve only been talking ‘rated R,’” says Tancharoen. “I like realistic takes on things, I like it when it’s a little darker and grittier. And I want the martial arts to feel real as opposed to balletic and super-choreographed. It needs to feel brutal, because that’s the nature of the video game itself.”
Get over here! Sorry, had to say it at some point. Anyway, this is great news. Although nothing is set in stone of course. Tancharoen and his producers may be "talking R" but we all know how much studios like to push for PG13 these days. Let's hope his vision for this movie wins through.
