also if you pause it when they flash near the end when subzero is mentioned, I realized it's a sculpt from here:

Dunno if its for a new game or a new film, both are being rebooted, but either way it gets a thumbs up from me. Really impressive.
GET OVER HERE!
I'm not sure who ended up with the rights to the game series (Warner Brothers?) but here's hoping that a great studio comes out with a Mortal Kombat: reboot game as well
"Find Shang Tsung...and finish him."
bwhahaha
I liked it a lot...but yea hard to say if its a promo for the movie or the game...either (or both) could show up at E3...dunno.
I'm sad I liked the original, I dont like the look of this new one it might give me nightmares.
It's a trailer for the movie, and the game is tied into the movie / vice-versa.
Apparently, it's just a short that was created to test reactions for a possible R-rated movie in the future.
who knows... I think it could be good but I dont like the direction they are going...
You should disregard anything claimed by a poster on Kotaku...the dregs of the internet.
Looks good to me. I reckon its a movie (thats been greelit). The cast is too high-profile (Jerry Ryan, the gangster from Dark Knight, etc.)
Looks like they are doing a Batman Begins job on it, I don't think they neccesarily should though. MK has some very good 'out there' characters. Don't really like Baraka's look either...but I really want to see this film
XD
This movie looks damn cool.
question is.... will they use the original music theme song, or will they just play it during the credits. doesnt really suit the new persona
struck by lightning?
he will probably just be a monk or something.
If coming soon is right, it's proof of concept for a movie and has a badass stunt/fight choreographer attached to it.
Looks a little campy, but very good.
True though that may be, he did have a link to back up his claim:

I think I could even separate myself from the fact that it's Mortal Kombat because the concept is so cool. I like that short better than the last 3 or 4 MK games I played...
oh shit! I thought it looked familiar!
really? I thought he looked realistic. I've seen body mods less extreme than his.
The trailer/short fucking rocked. I'd see that movie so easily. I've seen every mortal kombat movie
The clip was awesome, really hope this gets done and it keeps this style. A rated R Mortal Kombat movie? Yes-fucking-please!!
Thanks for the link, homie!
yes plx.
Nah they just probably paid him to use it in the clip...
An actress talks about the video.
But!
I hate that films these days have to explain everything in a "realistic" way. Mortal Kombat is about a Gods, Demons, and Mortals kicking shit out of each other and using magic to do it. It doesn't need to be scientifically explained so that the audience "gets it".
They may well have demons, etc in the story. Maybe scorpion/sub zero in this film are demons. How would they explain Goro anyway...
Anyhoo. Please keep the magic and shit. Not scientifically viable.
Huh, I wonder about that. I think this is essentially a fanfic, being an unofficial teaser/test footage, so they might not have to pay - fair use and all. When we do new business pitches at work to show clients, we can use anything we like to bring it together. It's fine as long as we do it out of our own pocket and aren't earning anything for it. Dude has a copyrighted likeness of a MK character in his portfolio and that's fair game, so I'm curious who owns what in this case.
I definitely wonder who paid for it, as it's pretty damned good quality for a sales pitch.
Nevertheless I can't wait to go and watch it.

Looking at the head alone on his site, its not a MK character, and is named AC00. Its only a "licensed MK character" after it was placed in that short, unless he did intentionally want to make a scifi subzero. There aren't any descriptions on the page, so who's to know
It was added July 12, 2009, and despite how long some things take to make, somehow i doubt that short was made over a year ago.
This is interesting, hopefully he did get credit for it in some way. When you overlay the still & the render, its the far left head flipped horizontally, and scaled a little.
No thx.
