The film will be opening against Sony’s Master of the Universe film starring Noah Centinho. Mortal Kombat is a really popular video game franchise and it has seen a couple of film adaptations in the past. One of it came back in the year 1995 and is still held as one of the best video game adaptations of all times. After the sequel Mortal Kombat: Annihilation got received poorly, the franchise went out of business and has never been adapted ever since.
Mortal Kombat Will Be R-Rated
The Mortal Kombat franchise started catching fire around 2010 when a web-short titled Mortal Kombat: Rebirth came out. It came from screenwriter Orien Uziel and it got the web series a lot of popularity. He was later asked by New Line Cinema to make a script for Mortal Kombat reboot.
