The New Mortal Kombat Movie Planned As "R"-Rated

Post by Gambid »

In an interview for Entertainment Weakly Kevin Tancharoen, the director of the new Mortal Kombat movie confirms that the production team is currently aiming at "R"-Rating with as realistic as possible fighting sequences:
One of the problems with the earlier films was that they were PG-13. For a video game series notorious for its creative violence (and for irritating Sen. Joe Lieberman), that’s essentially the equivalent of the lame grey sweat they subbed into the SNES version. They don’t plan for that to be the case here. “Up to this point, we’ve only been talking ‘rated R,’” says Tancharoen. “I like realistic takes on things, I like it when it’s a little darker and grittier. And I want the martial arts to feel real as opposed to balletic and super-choreographed. It needs to feel brutal, because that’s the nature of the video game itself.” New Line is aiming on having the film hit theaters in 2013, and we’ll see then whether it’s a flawless victory or a fatality.
The development of the third Mortal Kombat movie has been going back and forth for the past 14 years. Our dedicated News section tracks down every single news that has appeared over the years, starting as early as 2003. It is definitely interesting to see how much the project has changed over the years and how many times it has gone in production with even actors thinking that this movie is going to be their next.

Why not, it will be a great experience. I only watched Annihilation on the big screen and even that one was great.

No announcement has been made. I wouldn't count on it. May be we will see some of the Mortal Kombat Legacy cast return.
