But where's Lui Kang, they can't leave him out can they? 
 
I don't know it feels weird he's taking a backseat to Scorpion I fully thought it was Lui Kang Jax was talking to.

Better not let me down.

I don't care if this is a movie or a game, I literally just shit myself.  This is exactly what the franchise needs.  i can't wait until E3.

I am not the biggest MK fan but I enjoy playing them when I get the chance.  This video gets me pumped for MK and I can't wait to see what actually comes about from this.

If videos like these are going to be cut scenes I'd be fine with that.

This is the right way to build hype. 

Great, if this is real

Wow...just....wow

No Johnny Cage = No sale for me.

Video is pretty sick but dude, stop killing Johnny Cage.  Seriously.  Please.  Stop.

This was awesome and a great way to relaunch MK and get everyone hyped up about it.  
 
it got me interested!

" Definitely not a movie.  They've been talking about the new game for some time now, and more recently been teasing about a big E3 reveal.
More importantly, there's not a movie studio in the world that could have kept a big production like this secret, if it's so far enough along to have a 7 minute trailer. "

This is a game, you don't get super specific with shit like fatalities and using Scorpions real name when you are doing a movie.  Besides, while Mr. White and Ms. Ryan are fine actors, they aren't exactly who you go to for a movie, that's video game casting if I ever saw it.

I liked Quan Chi, though never played him because of his moves (MK4 on N64). He looks very similar to kratos

i completely flipped out over this video. 
 
as much as i love how the lore was shaping up post mk4, this seems like an awesome way to reboot the series. i can't wait to see what comes up next week.

" I don't think this is for a game. That looks like a pretty well made movie to me. Who has been sneakily working on a Mortal Kombat movie? "

I don't give a fuck what this is, I just want to watch/play/have sex with it <3

It sounds like it would of already happened but a new direction and tone for MK like this could be just what it needs. I think it looks great.

Yes please, I'm thinking game as well

This was crazy awesome! I want that to be real!

wat. That was awesome.

tight

Holy shit! this looks great. That video was better choreographed than any of the movies.

lol. I kept thinking about the Nolan Batman films and the Arkham Asylum game when I was watching this. I mean, Killer Croc would probably be just like this Reptile if Nolan ever used the character. It's probably a game...

That video is awesome regardless of where it came from

Wow Scorpion working for cops? I want more.

" @Jeff: I dunno, like I said before, fan movies can get really intense, quality wise:
 
 

 

"

There was no way that was "fan-made" it had freaking Seven-of-Nine. I also wanted that to continue and reboot the movies.

I hope the mystical/magical side of MK isn't totally gone.
I mean if the Raiden gets the gritty/realistic treatment like everyone else in the video, then the game/movie is gonna have to be really good to make up for it.
But Mortal Kombat meets Se7en vibe definatly seems very cool.
Also Shang Tsung back as the main villian.
 

Looks promising.

I will INDEED be getting over there!

Awesome video.  Mortal Kombat has it's origins centered in Live Action any way, via photographed and digitized actors as the sprites.
 
Just hasta' be rated M this time.

No Stryker? Rats!

If you're going to embed videos in news posts you should resize the player so part of it isn't cut off.

It's too different since I grew up with mortal kombat games and movies. It's way too different for me to accept right now.

Oh god, this is freaking awesome.

dude that was fucking awesome!!
at first I was like realistic mortal kombat, no thank you. Then I watched the whole thing and thought it was actually pretty clever

As a long-time MK fan, I'll offer my comments. For many years, there have always been rumors of a new MK film. It's taken years for anything to happen, but this could definitely be it. I think this is way too deep to be a teaser trailer for the next game, though I expect the new MK game will go in a darker direction, much like this. 

My biggest issue with the video is Baraka. I'm not enjoying his new appearance, I think the dreadlocks are dumb, and I don't like the face tattoos, however, if they're giving the series a more realistic approach and avoiding things like Outworld, I guess some big changes were necessary. I like how Reptile and Baraka were at the forefront of the murders, considering they're two of my favorites. I love the changes they made to Reptile. Totally awesome. I was thinking it was their own twisted version of Quan Chi, but making it Reptile is even better.  
 
I'm sure most of us thought that was Kano sitting across from Jax, and that they would reveal his red eye at some point. Going with Scorpion as the lead character is an interesting idea, and he's generally considered the franchise favorite anyway. Also, I love that image of Sub-Zero. It looks so disturbing and twisted. This is a good direction. While I'm not totally sold on the Dark Knight style more-realistic approach, I definitely love the darker tone.

So the greatest killer in the world has a really bad case of cataracts?  Realism!

This has effectively gotten me interested in MK again. Most intriguing.

So... Mortal Kombat: Black?
