edit: might actually be a promo for the new game.
Yea saw that on SRK this morning. I dunno. As retarded as it is, I kind of like the terrible Mortal Kombat lore.
aww poo, this was just a director's pitch for a re-imagined mk movie.

Really ? You'd think with some
actual actors it may be worth watching though - I thought it was mildly entertaining - would watch it drunk as with the boys lol
If they went the way they had pitched it would have come across as a good movie. The director had it going the right way though I'm not sure if scorpion would do well as the lead character.
this looks like it could be really good
scorpion as main character could be really cool
scorpion and subs are like the ryu and ken just more badass
be a nice change to the we must save the world lui kang is our only hope garbage
i think its funny they just took the killer croc concept from batman and applied it to reptile :D
i like how they imply scorpion is the lead here, but i thought the second sub zero was a good guy.
Baraka owned my mk2 main lol.

Scorpion is more of an anti-hero. They probably only made him the lead because hes the most interesting character in the MK universe.
This is awesome.

holy shit
holy shit
holy shit
Dark and realistic = lame.
i reckon this looked awesome , would be a good way for the mk franchise to sorta get reborn .
is this really a hoax cause that was mean :-\
It wasn't a 'hoax'.
It was a directors pitch for the movie essentially. Pretty sure it didnt get picked up though. Thats what i heard anyway. Thats where the hoax crap is coming from.
Someone on Kotaku said that they thought the movie would be what the Resident Evil movies did to the games. I.e, crappy story etc woven around mentioning a few characters names etc etc.
What do you guys think? I personally think it might be a bit of a revival for the mk series, esp with mk9 set to come out like what, March next year?
And the art direction in this pitch is actually very, very nice.
Also, Scorps is prob the most interesting character, and I fully support him being the lead 8)
not like MK story was particularly great anyway.
i think not following the game story is whats needed
story lines in games work because game play is generally the most important part
in a movie the story line is most important and fighting games are not known for their storyline
