Is the new era of Video Game Kino everyone has been talking about?
James Wan-Produced ‘Mortal Kombat’ to Shoot in Australia for New Line
nice
Since when are video games reddÃt
>want it to be hard R gorefest with lots of actual martial artists focused on the cast and plot of the original game only
>know it'll actually be a pg-13 cgi-fest with shaky cam, too many cuts, and some shitty OC Donut Steel main character
>James Wan
Cool. He generally makes bro-y stuff, and Asians are pretty strongly apolitical and hate social justice shit. This guy may actually make the proper teenage edgecore movie that it needs to be.
How do you capture the spirit of the 90s?
Who is playing Sonya Blade?
>Australia
KANO KINO KOMING UP
James Wan credits:
>Saw
>Dead Silence
>Furious 7
>Aquaman
He sounds like a perfect fit for this, actually. Edgy, bro-y stuff and horror... pure 'male branding' aesthetics which is what Mortal Kombat is.
>Tomb Raider
>Rampage
>Detective Pikachu
>Mortal Kombat
Can WB ever stop making video game kino?
The crucial thing is getting a good art director. None of this 'modern reimagining' bullshit. Just do Mortal Kombat as well as you can.
I didn't realize it's WB. That's a good fit too. WB have been the 'dark, gritty, edgy' branding company for a while now. Which can be dumb sometimes but it's perfect for this.
The first Mortal Kombat movie was kino as fuck and James Wan is based, so I think that kino is truly back on the menu.
the whole cast needs to be actors who already have martial arts training (people like Scott Adkins, Michael Jai White, Iko Uwais etc), stuntmen, MMA fighters and WWE wrestlers. The problem is Americans don't want those guys leading semi big budget movies which I assume this is. They will force some random big name actor (or worse a woman) as the lead who has no martial arts training and the action scenes, which is the only thing that matters, will suck.
Wan is just the producer, he has a pretty shitty track record as a producer
They better have this costume on Mileena.
Mileena probably won't be in it except as a cameo MAYBE
I can't wait to hear the Moral Kombat song with dub step.
I wonder if they will be able to capture to inner qt of Mileena.
You really think so with the new MK games? They seem so anti-fun and anti-sexy now. The female characters look like fucking soccer moms that hit the wall
Really? I think MK 11 looks beautiful.
>The female characters look like fucking soccer moms that hit the wall
Kitana looks fucking gorg
Once again it's WB
based anti-sjw WB
They should've filmed in Iran to accommodate all the muslim women they plan to add
