New Mortal Kombat Series Is A GO!

Remember that short Mortal Kombat trailer/ film Mortal Kombat: Rebirth, featuring Michael Jai White as Jax and Ian Anthony Dale as Scorpion? If you don't, here it is again to give you a reminder of how cool that one was:

Liked it? Well, this trailer certainly made an impression on fans of the video game series, and while it hasn't been given the ok to be made into a feature movie of its own, it has officially been given the green light to be made into a series! As reported in a post via Kotaku, the trailer conceptualized by director Kevin Tancharoen will blossom into a 10 webisode series courtesy of Warner Bros, with no word on a release date so far. However, it has been confirmed that Mr. White will reprise his role as Jax. How that will turn out remains to be seen. For more info, visit the source post at Kotaku!

Movie Review: Tekken

Once again, I was treated to another typical video game movie adaptation.


Movie: Tekken

Starring: Jon Foo, Ian Anthony Dale, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, Kelly Overton, Luke Goss

Directed By: Dwight H. Little

For the life of me, I should have already learned my lesson on watching these flicks given the recent streak of flops and missteps, but I couldn't help myself with seeing the Tekken movie, based on one of my favorite brawling games of all time. Yes, Bandai Namco actually gave the go signal to a studio called Crystal Sky Productions to produce a live action movie based on their hit mixed martial art 3D fighting game franchise, and how did that fare out? Not too well I'm afraid, but I got to give the makers of the movie their just dues for trying to make a film based on the series alone. I'll get more into the details as I roll along with this review. For now, just make sure to brace yourselves for some spoilers.
