Looks like a movie to me, but I've never played a Mortal Kombat game before, so who am I to judge?

Whether it is for a movie or a game, I am totally for it.  If it is a movie, I will definitely see it.  If it's a game, I may buy it but who knows.

That's what happens when Warner Bros. is your publisher.

I watched it over at 1up.com earlier and was blown away. While I think attaching the MK name and it's characters is kind of silly, the movie looks like it could be awesome. Also, anything that gets me more Seven of Nine is good my books. I cant wait to see if she can pull off fighting. Interesting choice to make Scorpion the main character.

Wow.  That was frikkin' gruesome.
Mortal Kombat - the Eli Roth version?
 
I'm assuming that with the high(ish) production values and the inclusion of the likes of Jeri Ryan, that this will be a movie "re-imagining".

YES! I think this most likely is a game, otherwise it wouldn't have gone into so much detail for some of the more minor characters and wouldn't have been in this style. No movie trailers are like this.

I think people are getting a little too crazy all because they personally haven't heard about the movie, I've heard they had some legal problems regarding this movie back in January but that is was in development and being made.  
 
The alternative is that Mortal Kombat the game is now Command and Conquer, that just sounds ludicrous.

If this was produced just as a promotional for the next game then it's the best of its kind. I'm hoping it turns out to be a movie of its own.

I don't even know what to say. Seems too high production values for a game trailer, but it doesn't feel like a trailer for a movie, considering Jeri Ryan is the only one involved and either way, a realistic Mortal Kombat sounds insane.

Kinda cool they're making all the fighters have somewhat realistic reasons for their superpowers and such. Pissed they already killed off Johnny since I love using him.

That is pretty crazy, and I find it hard to believe that that would be a movie because they just gave away then entire plot basically

The guy playing Jax (or "Jacks"), was one of the mobsters from the movie "The Dark Night" - he's the one that puts the bounty on the Jokers life after he crashes their meeting, and later gets killed before the Joker breaks a pool cue in half and has "tryouts" for his former bodyguards. 
 
His name is Michael Jai White.  He also played Spawn in the Spawn movie.
 
While he isn't a top-shelf actor, he certainly seems to be higher profile than simply filming game trailers...

Yep - Michael Jai White, though most people probably know him as Spawn.

I hear she's been made the ambassador of Monaco. That or the Star Trek convention circuit. I forget which.

What the fuck is this? It's not fake, no one would pay   Michael Jai White and Jeri Ryan just for a goof. But that just deepens the mystery. I really, really hope they aren't making a new movie and this is just some high quality story FMV.

If it's a game, please let it have that cheesy look that the first two games had. Otherwise doesn't look too bad for a popcorn flick.

Movie or not that was pretty damn good. I wouldn't play a Mortal Kombat game I am not into fighting games but I would watch a movie like that though I still have my doubts about video game movies.
