Actor Lewis Tan Praises Benjamin Wallfisch’s “Grand” and “Powerful” Score for ‘Mortal Kombat’ Movie
Last week, composer Benjamin Wallfisch (Lights Out, It, It Chapter Two) got Mortal Kombat fans speculating when he tweeted out an image of the video game franchise’s iconic logo, pinning it to the top of his page with no caption attached to the image. It seemed Wallfisch was probably hinting that he was scoring the film, and indeed it looks like he is.
In a response to Wallfisch’s tweet, Mortal Kombat actor Lewis Tan replied and offered up this exciting tease: “What I have heard has blown me away, grand, powerful and cinematic.”
Wallfisch then quote-tweeted Tan’s reply and outright stated he’s scoring the film: “Thanks for the kind words! Honored to be on board and blown away by your performance.”
Warner Bros. will release the James Wan-produced Mortal Kombat on January 15, 2021. Greg Russo wrote the script, with Simon McQuoid at the helm as director.
The film is expected to be rated “R”, with gory Fatalities.
Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
