Want a Mortal Kombat reboot?

Ah, remember those cosy days of the ‘90s when video game adaptations were actually good?

Wait, sorry, what are we saying? Yes, Paul WS Anderson’s 1995 vid-game-movie-adap Mortal Kombat has a loyal cult following who will defend it to the death (and probably have on numerous occa﷽sions). But let’s not kid ourselves, it was p𒁃retty ropey fare.

No surprise, then, that Warner Bros are looking to reboot 🍌the franchise with all this fancy new equipment that they have lying around.

Unknown writer Oren Uziel (his Shimmer Lake script made Hollywood’s blacklist of the best unp⛦roduced screenplays)ℱ has been contracted to write the new script.

The original had Christopher Lambert and Robin Shou (recently seen in the awful new Street Fighter ).

No clu🐠e who the studio have their eye on for the reboot, but you can bet they’ll be drawing on their own stock – so, Daniel Radcliffe? Robert Downey Jr? Emile Hirsch?

One thing we’re sure of൲ಌ: we’d bet last night’s leftover dinner that it’ll be in 3D.

Dream casting ideas if you will...
