The Explanation Behind this Mortal Kombat Movie June 9, 2010
Posted by Maniac in Game News.trackback
By now many of you have seen this movie, which hit the web and went viral yesterday.
As of one day later it currently has over a million pageviews, and that’s just from the YouTube version. It is obviously a realistic take on Mortal Kombat, in movie form, and it features easily recognized Hollywood actors like Jeri Ryan and Michael Jai White. Likely without the star power, most would’ve filed this under fanfilm, but with the star power, many considered this to be an in progress look at a new, unannounced Mortal Kombat movie.
Through several gaming news blogs contacting the easily recognizable actors, and my own questioning of a Hollywood insider, we have determined what this video is.
It is not a teaser or a trailer for an upcomming Mortal Kombat movie, it is a pitch, an offer to the movie studios, for funding. Likely due to the high traffic of the video (and the fact that most movie studios will throw millions of dollars at anything) this will probably get funding.
If any new developments on the film comes up, I’ll be sure to post it here.
