First Clip from Mortal Kombat: Legacy Digital Series Emerges!

Kano vs Jax -- First Preview of live-action series, Mortal Kombat: Legacy!

The first glimpse of director Kevin Tancharoen's upcoming Mortal Kombat: Legacy Webseries has just been unveiled over at prominent gaming website, Machinima as a brief teaser trailer, showing off an ensuing fight between Darren Shahlavi as the ruthless Kano and Michael Jai White as Jax.

Featured during this short tease of what to expect is a vicious battle taking place in what appears to be a Power Plant or an industrial building with Jax and Kano trading blows with one another, guns and knives are wielded and added into the fight also. As the fight draws to a conclusion, a struggle over a Grenade Launcher results in a grenade being fired into the ground beneath which seemingly ends their conflict in a stalemate as both Jax and Kano attempt to evade the explosion by fleeing.

Machinima is set to host an advanced screening of the first episode on Tuesday, April 12th via their website [full Story]. The Mortal Kombat webseries is expected to release in under a fortnight, being distributed through various digital streaming channels on Thursday, April 19th which coincides with the games release also. For the full scoop on the new Webseries along with it's cast, you can view our comprehensive coverage right here.

You can catch this trailer embedded above or view it over on Machinima's Youtube Channel!

first?

Good clip, but the fighting felt more viceral in the Rebirth trailer. Perhaps it will pick up in other scenes. Loved the look on Jax's face when that grenade hit the ground. lolz

I like it. Looks fun and a little cheesy. Right up my alley.

The man may not look like Kano, but I sure saw Kano there. This is looking pretty good, I can't wait!

As long as they don't eliminate the magic and realms and gods I will like this series.

Expand on the backgrounds and not touch the current lore...that's the vibe I'm getting and it's perfect. Every movie that tries to base itself off of the story established in the game always gets it wrong anyways. Everyone asking what this 1 minute clip has to do with MK are dumbasses who can't grasp things beyond colourful magical ninjas and blood, and because it's just 1 minute. Obviously there was a time where Jax had no metal arms and Kano didn't have a faceplate. Seeing it is really exciting, for me at least. And seeing the events that led up to Kano losing half is face exhilarates the MK fan in me, even though it might not be considered canon!!!

Stop focusing so much on Jax KTanch. We could've easily gotten a Sub Zero/Scorpion fight to show that this series really WAS MK. Instead we get a fight between Jax and a man who I'm sure most people won't recognize as Kano. If you showed this to the most casual gamer in hopes of roping them in, they'd be shocked to learn that MK is actually full of magic ninjas and pantless overlords. Hopefully the full series will be better

Yes it is an origin show remember what KT said in the interview from last week.

Not to mention, the fantasy realms will be in this. Y'all forget what has been said about this so far already? Just go read the page recapping everything so far on the webseries. Can't judge the whole series' direction on a fight scene from one episode especially an episode revolved around the human characters.

I thought it was cool, the fighting looks great to me. I'm actually excited to see these, especially if they end up being a close tie in to the games than the Rebirth trailer, truly impressed.

here's a new press release with cinformation of Ed Boon and Netherrealm Studios's involvement:http://www.comingsoon.net/news/gamenews.php?id=76069

Kevin Tancharoen who directed and produced the popular, unofficial “Mortal Kombat: Rebirth” fan short, is bringing the same immersive directing style to this live-action digital series. “Machinima is the perfect entertainment destination to premiere the series,” said Kevin Tancharoen, Director, Producer and co-writer of “Mortal Kombat: Legacy.” “They have a massive audience of gamers from around the world. We worked very closely with NetherRealm Studios and Ed Boon, and we’re now putting the finishing touches on the episodes. I’m confident we’ve stayed true to the Mortal Kombat lore and am hoping the fans will be blown away by what they see.”

Love it.. definitely its Kano with those moves and mannerisms..

As for the focus on Jax, it's because I think they've said the Sonya - Jax story will start it off

lol,and then we'd have the usual people bitching about how Scorp and Sub are the posterboys of MK who always hog all the glory and why can't any of the other characters get a spotlight for once.

Ofcourse i know that, i never implied they all are, but this scene just doesn't feel right to me, because it's a fight that could actually happen in this day and age And to me that isn't what Mortal Kombat should be about.
