Kombat Begins?
When philosophers look over the major travesties of the 20th Century, you can be sure that when they argue over which was the cruelest blow to humanity, this argument will be concerning the holocaust, the 9/11 disaster and the attempts at converting Mortal Kombat into a movie franchise.
That said, it looks like fate has swung around one more time to take a fresh dump on anyone who ever enjoyed the game in it's purest form. It is reported that Threshold (who hold the rights to the game) are looking to reinvent the series not unlike the way that Christopher Nolan did with BATMAN BEGINS. The director of the film, mink (INTO THE SUN) has apparently been fielding questions about the direction of the upcoming movie on the boards at Imdb.com. Hopefully this time we'll get something good, rather than... well... what we got last time.

Extra Tidbit: Jean Claude Van Damme apparently turned down the role of Johnny Cage in the original MORTAL KOMBAT to play Guile in STREET FIGHTER. He must have felt like Meryl Streep in SOPHIE'S CHOICE.

As for another one? Sure, why not. Can’t be any worse then the second one.

Also, I enjoy Street Fighter the movie. Not cause it's a great movie -- cause it's not -- but just because it's fun to watch.
ADD = Wow, just read...

ADD = Wow, just read some of the other comments...apparently the minority of people who loved the first movie isn't as small as I thought. Cheers, mates.

Not only that, but I'm pretty sure the reason he goes by that awful nickname (I have a lame nickname, but it's not like I'm using it as a director's handle or anything) is because his mom is somebody famous with a ton of cash. He didn't want people associating his "success" with her. I don't know if what I heard is the absolutely truth, but it sounds pretty believable. He doesn't seem talented enough to be given the opportunity to direct a film like this.
I mean, all he's made are two godawful movies - one is a gangster/rapper flick called Full Clip (with a 2.7 rating on IMDB), and the other's a Steven Seagal movie called Into the Sun (as was mentioned in the article).

I'm surprised that they'd be trying to make another since most people just don't play (or remember) it anymore.
