I think I'm just desperately hoping it's a movie, though it makes sense that it probably isn't.
A movie will affect me - I will see it. A game will not affect me - I will never play a Mortal Kombat game again.

What Is This Mortal Kombat Video?
This site claims it's just a demo reel to get investors for a new movie.

I really really hope it's for the new game! Please say it is so!
A new game would feel like a let down now after seeing this, unless it's just mega awesome of course :)
Alot of people don't seem to be happy with how Baraka looks and i undertsand why 'cause he looks alot different. But since this looks more grounded in realism they seem to have gone kinda stereotypical in this video by using a guy who went nuts and got into piercing the shit outta his body. I cant picture any other way to have a guy with blades in his arms

" This site claims it's just a demo reel to get investors for a new movie.I could see that being true, similar to what they did with Halo. Make awesome live action scenes, in hopes of securing an investor.

But aside from that, I'm sure it's been made primarily for the game.
That's the dude that played spawn. Just sayin'.
Yeah, I was amazed at how many MK terms they spouted off without making it sound forced. That's probably the first time I've ever associated good writing with anything Mortal Kombat related...
Wow! All of a sudden I really care about MK again. Seriously that video kicked mad arse.
and "Reptile's number of FATALITIES is in the double digits"" "I want you to go to that tournament and FINISH HIM" Well done, whoever the hell made this. "
and the name on the door reads JACKSon (with the ON faded out so it reads jacks / jax )
lots of cool little details in the video
...yeah I'm not impressed...let alone the crap fest they turned mortal kombats storyline and mythos into with each successive release, the movies sucked *the first one was only watchable*...now an entire reboot completely different from past games in story or even a new movie? yeah...no...
"I thought the same thing, which is weird considering Jeff hated that direction for Twisted Metal.I like this direction. It reminds me of the Twisted Metal Black story sequences which I really liked. I'll always enjoy the crazy stuff that Mortal Kombat used to be, but this new perspective is really interesting.
"
Oh god I hope and pray this is for the new game. And Jeri Ryan as Sonya Blade? Yes, god yes.
Reptile as a Harlequin Fetus that eats people's heads?
Words cannot express how excited I am for this.
well going on the idea that the video is set before the tournament looks like he wont. Unless they try to make him like zombie Liu Kang which would kinda fuck up the realism this video sets" This video either means that Johnny Cage will be in the game or that he won't be in the game, and I don't know which.

Having a video like this at the beginning and end of each character's "story mode" would be kind of awesome.
" what!!!!!!! weird, cool, and interesting...lets see how it plays out. doesnt seem to be a game however... "for the people that are saying this isnt for a game... I dont think anyone is saying this particular video would be a game, or in a game, just what the characters will probably look like and direction of the new game will be
According to chud.com this is just a demo reel for a movie.
