samo kao d sam negdje čitao da se ljudi čude što je ovo izašlo jer je došlo do nekakvih problemima sa pravima za Mortal Kombat pa kao teško da će izaći uskoro novi film.

kak se samo nadam da nisi u pravu...

Technically Warner Brothers owns all rights to Mortal Kombat, but they've been in legal battles over a pre-existing contract with Threshold Entertainment for movie rights. To my knowledge, the contract was void the moment Warner acquired the rights to Mortal Kombat, as it was a contract made with Midway who no longer owns those rights. Threshold, on the other hand, believe that the contract is still valid.

Amazingly enough the short was directed by the same man who helmed the Fame remake, Kevin Tancharoen. Turns out that behind all that pop culture stuff he is just a fan of the video games who really wants to get the job of directing the feature film. Somehow he managed to shoot this thing in only two days and spent nearly two months doing post production. All of this was done by calling in favors and borrowing two RED cameras.

Some highlights:

* They shot the short film over two days on two RED cameras
* Started in early April and it took 2 months to do the post production. Most people donated their time. The short was made for $7,500
* Knew if he was going to get a chance at a genre picture, he’d have to show he could do it on his own. This is a calling card for a chance at making the next Mortal Kombat feature film and it’s his vision for how he’d do it.
* No one at any studio knew he was doing the short
* Oren Uziel wrote the short. He’s currently listed on IMDb to write the next Mortal Kombat movie at Warner Bros.
* Says he wants to make a movie that balances the real world with the mysticism and the special powers. Compares it to the way Harry Potter exists in two worlds. As in there are two universes that coexist with each other.
* Confirms “fatalities” are definitely in his movie. He wants to put them in the tournament in an “organic way”
* Definitely would use “get over here” (the classic line from the game)
* Michael Jai White plays Jax Briggs in the short and he’d definitely be a part of the feature.
* Says Scorpion is the bad guy and will stay a bad guy
* They only had 4 hours to shoot the big fight scene
