Mortal Kombat Gets Ready for Third Installment

Source:  Moviehole
The filmmaker mink has recently signed on to direct the third Mortal Kombat movie. According to Moviehole, though Drew McWeeny and Scott Swan wrote the original draft of the script, the writing has been handled by the producers and their writers at Threshold Studios in conjunction with Midway games.

The third Mortal Kombat motion picture has not yet been cast and there's been no word on whether Christopher Lambert will return as Rayden. Filming might be shot in Louisiana, though nothing at this time has been scheduled.

The third Mortal Kombat film is currently in pre-production.

the sub-zero movie sounds cool! but the Jax thing wouldn't interest me, but then again, "Annhilation" probly fucking ruined Jax as a character for me!!!
  (Delete)
February 9th, 2008 8:06am
Give me a movie based on Sub-Zero (like the game on PSone)... or even a movie set around Jax and Sonya pre-mortal kombat (but nothing like the game)

February 9th, 2008 7:49am
but if you go with the story Kung lao and lu kang are from different time periods! :(
and now that i've started thinking bout all this again, i'm fucking raging that Annhilation was so crap!!

i remember watching the 1st movie and loved it!! then the second fucked it all up!! they should redo the whole idea for mortal Kombat rather than do a sequel!! i'm sure there are better actors about now to play the roles than them fuckers in Annhiliation!!
