Mortal Kombat 2010

I was doing some searching today and I came across some legit Mortal Kombat filming info. Turns out they are casting Christopher Lambert as Lord Raiden from the first movie, but it seems like it is going to be a reboot. (aka Batman Begins) The screenplay has been completed and they are currently casting at this time. Currently, Chris Casamassa as Scorpion, John Medlen as stunt coordinator, and Larry Kasanoff as Producer are the other confirmed people in the film. One of the other "strong" rumors is Linden Ashby as Johnny Cage, but that hasn't been officialized yet.

I listened to a podcast interviewing Ed Boon and he stated that they had completed the script, shooting locations are being discussed, and that Lousianna is one of the shooting locations. He also said he believed it was going to be a reboot.

As one of my favorite games as a kid, I hope this turns out to be a modernized version of the first Mortal Kombat film with an R rating. I just think that an M rated game that prides itself on blood/gore should have the R rating. RE was an R rating and that was ok so I think they should be able to pull that off with MK.

Yay for MK
