Help
Not quite sure what this is leading to. A new film? A new game? But it is pretty fucking good.

SCORPION!!! 
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; because there is not effort without error and shortcomings; but who does actually strive to do the deed; who knows the great enthusiasm, the great devotion, who spends himself in a worthy cause, who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement and who at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly. So that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat.

I don't know whether that is a film or a game, but I know that I want it more than anything in the world right now...

I think he was just trying to be realistic.

Might be fun to watch,..
I am undecided if I like the mundane characters... no outworld? no Raden? Just normalish crazy people to fight?
I dont know about this...

This looks incredible. They've taken the cheesy schlock and managed to give it some real edge in that short film alone. The fight choreography was EXCEPTIONAL. I thought Johnny Cage might even swing for an omaplota (when he grabbed Baraka's arm as he landed on the couch) and the suplex to end it was fantastic.
Great casting and a very nice sense of subtlety was displayed in the trailer.

Turns out the FAME remake's Kevin Tancharoen directed it as a test to try to get WB behind him and his crew.

Imagine if they made Mortal Combat into a TV-series like Heroes. Only instead of crazy over complicated storylines jumping back and forth, it would just be 45 minutes of people punching each other until their heads explode.

That Mortal Kombat Trailer? Jeri Ryan Explains
Actress Jeri Ryan of Star Trek: Voyage fame appears as Sonya Blade in a Mortal Kombat trailer dubbed "Mortal Kombat: Rebirth" that popped up online. Is it a game trailer? A movie trailer? Tell us, Jeri, tell us! "Okay, so... Mortal Kombat," she tweets. "It's not a game trailer. Actually was made for the director to sell WB on his vision for a reimagined MK film."
Ryan said she did her role as a favor to a friend. "No idea yet what WB's reaction to it was," she adds. I can tell you what my reaction was: stoked.
While a Mortal Kombat film was directed by Paul W.S. Anderson (of Resident Evil movie fame) in 1995, an updated take on the franchise has been languishing in development hell. However, a lawsuit has been filed by the development partner of the original film as it signed a contract in 2006 to do a sequel.
The Mortal Kombat: Rebirth short was helmed by Kevin Tancharoen. He directed last year's Fame remake.
