I have a feeling this is going to get kind of annoying over the next few weeks (we’ll try and keep it to a minimum), but it’s hard to ignore the popularity of the “Mortal Kombat” franchise (you guys keep clamoring for it!)
Director Kevin Tancharoen posted a new image from his Mortal Kombat web series, which is now in production in Vancouver for release later this year. The pic features a “spine” and teases “friendship or fatality?” I think we all know the answer…
Based on the iconic gaming franchise, Jeri Ryan, (“Star Trek: Voyager”) will reprise her role as the headstrong “Lieutenant Sonya Blade” from the unofficial fan short. She is joined by Michael Jai White (Spawn, Kill Bill, The Dark Knight) as “Major Jackson `Jax’ Briggs” and Darren Shahlavi (300) as the sly and cunning “Kano.”
Kevin Tancharoen who directed and produced the popular, unofficial “Mortal Kombat: Rebirth” fan short that garnered over 10 million views worldwide, is bringing the same immersive directing style to this live-action digital new media series. Fans will be able to delve deep into the history of the warriors they know and love including “Sub-Zero” and “Scorpion.”
