Warner Premiere's 'Mortal Kombat' Tourney Goes Websides!

[Travicity]

So much for the proposed Mortal Kombat remake that Warner Bros. Pictures had hoped to get off the ground. Still, fans of the bloody battle are in for a treat as we learned that director Kevin Tancharoen - who directed the awesome online short - will return behind the camera for a 10-episode web series dedicated to the popular video game. Penned by Tancharoen, Todd Helbing, and Aaron Helbing, star Michael Jai White leads the cast as "Major Jackson 'Jax' Briggs. Shooting will take place in Vancouver this coming February. Contested expected to be cast are: Shang Tsung, Liu Kang, Sub Zero, Durak, Kabal, Kitana/Mileena and of course Scorpion. No release date is planned, and there's no word on that R-rated remake. The only plot details we could conjure up is that a few Earthlings will fight to save the planet from Shao Kahn and Shang Tsung, two Gods ruling over parallel universes, or something to that effect.

Damn, I really wanted to see this movie :( Although the web series should be awesome anyway, especially with White involved still.

Me too, that trailer, or whatever you wanna call it, was friggin' awesome and I was really looking forward to this being a movie. But a web series is better than nothing, so looking forward to that.

No!!! I wanted the movie. I liked the two first movies they made. The Tv Series was ok, but the movies was more entertaining
