Real talk, I'd watch the shit out of a Mortal Kombat movie directed by Gareth Evans and starring Tony Jaa as Liu Kang and Iko Uwais as Scorpion.
Yayan Ruhian as Shang Tsung.

It's a story about a bunch of famous fighters: Lieu Cangue, Freezing-Point, Spider and Obama. Yea they couldn't get the license.
Finally, the best film adaption of a game is coming back to take the crown and re-introduce a new generation to the best track ever created: Techno Syndrome
MORTAL KOMBAAAAAAAAAAAT

Expected to create 580 jobs and inject 70mil into the economy.
Heh, "Mortal Kombat" in Australia. It's not going be set in the MK-verse, just Australia. The fighters are going to be trying to survive encounters with the local wildlife.
This movie really doesn't need a remake.
It's a fitting adaptation of the material: Character designs are on point, campy humor, 80's action movie vibe, memorable dialogue and death scenes and one of the most iconic soundtracks of the 90's.
I rarely say the following combination of words, but Paul W S Anderson's movie is perfectly fine as is. Maybe add some CG gore, but beyond that there;s no reason to remake it unless you've got a fresh take on the material (the mid-2000's miniseries for example).

Did Trump just morphed into Shang Tsung?Mortel Kombat huh ?
Yep makes perfect sense once you think about it screw the tournament when you run Earthrealm and gather all the souls you want without any legal liability whatsoever.
I would be happy if this ends up being better than the original but I just don't see how they could possibly do that.
I don't see the point in MK films anymore.
The games provide you with basically feature length films anyway now.

Fun fact: When video games were finally allowed to be R-rated here in Australia, South Australia was the only state to oppose the decision. One of the first games to be "unbanned" was Mortal Kombat 9.
It's weird to me that a Mortal Kombat movie will be made in my state. Looking forward to it though.
This is never not funny lolMortel Kombat huh ?
Also the churchiest, most anti violent place in Australia is making this?
The irony
South Australian here: this is really bizarre news.
Hey, we're the serial killer capital of the country, I'll have you know!
I don't see anything to suggest it's a remake.
I'm pretty interested if James Wan is producing. I'd rather he direct though, Aquaman was awesome.
Edit: also, lol @ thread title. Nice one.

Yeah SA is a pretty chill and quiet place compared to other places I've lived. Didn't expect a movie to be filmed here.
Would be awesome if they got the tone right for this. Like imagine the palette and choreography of a Marvel film except with people's spines getting ripped out. Cartoonishly ott violence
I remember years back there was some attempt at a miniseries that got it all entirely wrong by trying to be gritty and dark

Daniel Radcliffe was just in town to film Escape from Pretoria so it's not like it's unheard of. Also, Rising Sun Pictures is based in Adelaide and has worked on tonnes of movies including recent Marvel and Disney stuff.
