Here's a little fun fact for you: The very first MK movie was made for under 22 million dollars. Within one week of its release the movie (based on one of the goriest fighting franchises out there) had grossed roughly 120 million dollars. Success? I would have to say so. Though the first film spit out a few less than reputable sequels, Mortal Kombat is priming its engine once again amidst all of the fallout from the recent Warner Bros purchase of Midway (creators/developers of the series).
The movie is (at this point in time) set filming in September and has even gone as far as gathering up some of the original talent like eighth degree black belt Chris Casamassa who played Scorpion in the first and second film. Chris is actually the lone gunman who dropped the hint that a third movie was in full swing. So thank him or he'll judo chop your face off.
Perhaps what America needs is a good old fashioned, corny, off the wall violent fighting movie to spruce up the economic whirlwind we are currently in. There's nothing quite like a good Mortal Kombat movie to take your mind off all the trivial malarkey this blue Earth is swimming in at the moment. Here's the full story provided by our friends over at gamespot.
