A New Battle For Mankind Begins in ‘Mortal Kombat’ Tourney, Redo in the Works
Bloody Disgusting received word that Warner Bros. Pictures has been looking to redo Mortal Kombat with Oren Uziel in talks to write. Based on Midway’s popular 1992 video game, the franchise follows the best fighters from around the globe who are summoned to an island to compete in a tournament whose outcome will determine the fate of the entire planet. Uziel’s Shimmer Lake made the 2009 black list, which features the best unproduced screenplays around Hollywood. Johnny Cage was modeled after Jean-Claude Van Damme. No word on the progress of the remake, but we’d like to see a hard “R” version with some actual f*cking fatalities.
I WANT FATALITIES!
Sophie Thatcher stars in Nicolas Winding Refn’s Her Private Hell, and a brand new official poster this week celebrates the fact that we’re just one week from the film’s release.
Nicolas Winding Refn’s Her Private Hell will be released in theaters July 24 via Neon.
