Director Releases Pictures From Live-Action Series!

Hot and Cold - Series Director Posts New Images from Mortal Kombat!

Posted at 02/25/2011 03:40 PM EST by

Director Kevin Tancharoen has joined the Twitter revolution surrounding his project (@KTANCH), posting new photographs from the set of Mortal Kombat!

Tancharoen teases two of the most anticipated characters in his photos, seemingly alluding to series mascots, Sub-Zero and Scorpion. This storied tale of two bitter rivals has been one of the best known plotlines from the Mortal Kombat canon, telling of Scorpion's rise from the Netherrealm to seek revenge for his murder against mortal nemesis, Sub-Zero.

In the games, Scorpion was revealed to have been successful in exacting his revenge during the events of the original 1992 release. It remains to be seen if the live-action series will adhere to this well known established version, or reinterpret it for a new audience. For all available details from the series, follow the story on MKO.

Mortal Kombat is a live-action series to be released through digital distribution channels in April by Warner Premiere. The first official still from the series, featuring twittering superstar Jeri Ryan in peril as Sonya Blade, can be seen on MKO! Follow us on Twitter, @MK_Online.

An actual ninja kunai? Sweeeeet.

I didn't really like that mechanical grappling hook in Rebirth. I mean, I get how it makes sense if you're trying to give "realistic" reasons how Scorpion's spear could dig into someone firmly enough to allow them to be reeled toward him...but I'm just not interested in that. He's a ninja, he's named "Scorpion", that's his "stinger", I wanna see a classic pointy ninja dart.

Very awesome! First time ever outside of the games?

Roll on speculation about how the series relates to the games...

Yes, thank god the days of Threshold's inexplicable lizard-head are over.

I still don't get what that thing was supposed to have to do with scorpions.

I don't care about the spear and stuff being exactly the same as the game, I'd have been fine with the spear they used in rebirth.

This does, however give me more hope that we get a more authentic Mortal Kombat. Maybe it'll even be a prequel to the game. That'd be SWEEET!

Eh, that was more common a few years back, but I think a decade of Scorpion wearing his spear directly on his costume, beauty shots on magazine covers of him clearly throwing a kunai, and trailers like the Kratos one where they zoom in close on it and you can see it's an ordinary bladed metal weapon, have done a lot to dispel that.

Not to mention that movies that adapt stuff have been big business since the MK films came out, so people are now much more understanding of the fact that adaptations are never directly accurate to the source and not to be trusted.
I'm sure there's still casual gamers and young'ns out there who haven't played MK since the arcade days and don't know it's not what the movies showed, but those people probably aren't gonna come here and post anyway, so who cares?

I had hopes for this but seeing as it is going away form the reel footage style i dont care anymore,but i shouldnt be surprised,as i've witnessed all the bashing from the most pathetic crybaby fanboys when the footage reel was leaked.

^ It will have it's directing style just not it's story.(Thank God)

But when you post on a discussing board you're right to condescend on any "fanboys" become null and void lol.

I can see why you'd be disappointed that a Mortal Kombat series would resemble Mortal Kombat. This is quite obviously the greatest travesty the community has ever witnessed, the likes of which we many never fully recover from. You maniacs, it was Earth.

^ Yeah God forbid they actually try to stay true to what they are adapting and not coming up with some new BS and calling it MK right?

I know people are worn out on the ninjas and whatnot, but damn if this doesn't get me excited.
