First images of 'Mortal Kombat' live-action movie reboot released

Looks interesting

 

hold up, is steve harvey jax XD

 

I hope they kept the kick ass theme tune from the last movies

Why does sub-zero have an M on his forehead??

 

They better add the MORTAL KOMBAT theme

 

Not sure about those fire effects, though could be placeholders/not final render.

Will wait for final though as in motion and respect for the general concept remains to be seen.

 

Oh boy, I have 0 hopes for this movie.

 

The first MK Movie was good and the 2nd was decent. I'm kinda confused because the games never followed the story Johnny Cage died in the 2nd movie but he is alive in the games. Same thing applies to Liu Kang he died in deadly alliance but he is alive in MK 11 but he was dead in MK Deception.

Zombie Liu Kang Was badass

 

Particular reason why?

The effects in those stills are not great but part of the charm possibly.
Several of the actors have a proper martial arts background and others with at least a history in action films.

The company, which includes people behind the earlier efforts, and director seem to be all about getting a nice high rating and going for gore (no must be 15/pg-13 type deal that has tanked so many other such films over the years). I will give that the director is having this as a first feature (mostly commercials* before now -- https://www.simonmcquoid.com/ but saw a few and seems like he does OK, and many of those include things for computer games).

*commercials are actually arguably one of the harder disciplines in video making.

Cinematographer seems pretty good in the trailers I saw for his other films ( https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1718181/?ref_=vp_back ) which includes some action.

By no means is anything guaranteed, and being a computer game film then it is not like that is a high bar, but I am not seeing anything that particularly tanks my hopes here.

 

Looks okay so far.
But where's Goro?
I want full on on-set Goro! NO CGI SHIT!

 

Doesn't look too bad honestly, let's hope it captures a bit of the spirit from the original and doesn't take itself too seriously. I get HBO through Hulu, so this is a nice little bonus.

 

I seen both, and liked the first movie, so I was pretty butt hurt about the second one. I tend to have 0 faith when it comes to Hollywood.

 

Majin buu cameo

 

This looks like one of those tv shows that comes on CW.

 

That's not Steve harvey is it?

 

Thats exactly what I thought lol.

 

This time around, they have enough to get Jean-Claude Camille François Van Varenberg.
I hope they do, before it takes too much make-up and CGI for him to play Johnny Cage.

I also hope they use his full name in the Credit Roll.

 

I am intrigued

 

i really would see this one if it hits movie theater

 

Yeah I can tell by the first and third image alone that the acting is gonna be pretty bad, as well as the camera angles.
