Mortal Kombat Film and Game Trailers

Looks like the kick-ass fighting franchise of the '90's isn't quite finished yet! Earlier this week, a live action trailer entitled Mortal Kombat: Rebirth appeared across the web. It's apparently a test video produced by Warner Brothers and directed by Kevin Trancharoen in an attempt to prove the potential for an "R" rated film.



Looks like it worked just fine to me, and I really hope the film gets made. The lack of Outworld stuff makes it an interested take on the franchise.

But of course, with E3 right around the corner, we can't have a Mortal Kombat post without some kind of real gaming news. Looks like the franchise is coming back and going back to its 2D roots with a game, simply titled, Mortal Kombat.

Being developed by the newly renamed Netherealm Studios, the trailer's gameplay footage actually looks interesting, with the classic-styled elemnt clearly apparent. This is a title I'll be keeping an eye on.
