Mortal Kombat Rebirth




Director, Kevin Tancharoen, with the help of screen-writer, Oren Uziel, has released this 8 minute short film showcasing a revamped storyline for the famous Mortal Kombat franchise. Tancharoen has stripped the franchise of it's fantasy based roots and given the characters a more reality based/sci-fi make-over, focusing the storyline around Agents Jackson Briggs and Sonja Blade as they work to infiltrate the Mortal Kombat tournament and hunt down a cadre of violent murderers who've turned their city of Deacon upside down. The fight scenes, done by Larnell Stovall, are amazing and the short itself is a down-right intriguing concept (despite a pretty gross scene involving a refrigerator and a detached body part). I'm hoping this actually gets turned into a full-length movie.
