Warner Bros. Hitting Reset Button on 'Mortal Kombat'

[WyldeMan45]

This is one potential new franchise that could be awesome if handled correctly, since the first go round failed. I don’t really care about the “Outworld” or any of that crap. I expect to see a character rip off someone’s head with the spinal cord still attached. The movie doesn’t need stars. It doesn’t need cutting-edge special effects. It needs spinal cords.

And remember: ABACABB.

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!
