I'm as freaked out as you are man. This whole thing is a bad idea, I think and it will only make the MK series look worse, unless they can get a better director. The guy from MK: Annihilation did a terrible job with the movie and so did Paul Anderson, with the first one. The fight scenes were good, but overall, the movies just stank.

Yeah that idea is just bad but who knows maybe they might produce a good movie out of it we'll have to wait and see.

A fat chance they will make a successful movie out of it, considering the fact that very little of the movies followed the storyline of the classics, killing off the main two villains: Shang Tsung in the first one and Shao Kahn in Annihilation. How many times had we thought Kahn was for sure dead, but he came back? Since MK II, he has come back quite a bit and they ruined the movies by killing the both of them off. Like you said, though, Doug, we will have to wait and see.

...I meant I was excited and I still think it's a great idea. MK needs a new start. Of course the first two weren't perfect, perhaps this one will be. And main villains have to die, that's what ends a movie. A villain living only works in games, 'cause you at least beat 'em, but in movies you have to watch him get away. What kind of crap is that?

The only way they can properly reboot the series is if they actually follow closely to the game storylines (yes, I know they're vague, but I think that's where the foundation of the movies should be). There have been too many movies that don't follow their game/book/comic series counterparts well enough.
And as far as the main villain dying at the end of the movie, that doesn't have to happen, cuz look at Casino Royale, that Mr. White dude is, as far as we know, still alive and his superiors are still at large.

Perhaps it should be based on the canon storyline, though that leaves out key points in movies. This includes romanticies (Liu and Kitana, Cage and Sonya, then Liu and Jade, that pimp). There were none in MKI, no love. Liu and Kitana were slightly showing affection later on though she was never on the island canon-wise. You may say you don't need romanticies and that's not what MK's about, and like I said, that's okay for games, but not for movies.
As well there's the limited story. They'd have to add many things and then we'd say, 'Hey! That wasn't in the game!' Crap, the fight scenes would have to be half an hour long.
Another thing is the equality in fighting. According to the game all that happened was Kang beat Goro and Tsung, Scorpion killed Sub-Zero, and Sonya beat Kano...and that's it. Four fights? Who else would fight? Rayden and Cage are on the same team, so they wouldn't fight at all.
Come on, it has to differ somehow.

They could probably do what they did with the first acutal fight in the 1st film...have the characters beat unnamed, powerful warriors.

That still solves only one problem, the conversion from game to movie will force their difference. It's no problem though, they can still make bad-ass movies out of 'em. Should they be more artistic with an intelligent srcript they could pull it off perfectly. They would be forced to create other characters that will die or the main characters are forced never to see again that were romanticies. And also there may need to be another really strong warrior who forms a rivalry with Cage or something so you can still watch him kick ass while Kang gets to take on both Goro and Tsung.
But I highly doubt the script writer will be creative enough to come up with shit that would follow anywhere near how it's meant to be. Still, I can live with that.

the way i see it is, if they make it way close to the games, then the movie will fail, just because of the unrealistics of it all, the first movie was not bad in my opinion, but the second one was just a massive overload of characters and no point for being there, like it was slapped togheter just make money of the success of the first one. for a third one to actually be a good movie it would haVE TO IGNORE MOVIE #2, If not, then ignore 1-2, and start all over again kinda like batman series did recently IMO, as i have heard rumpors of this happening, but kinda like a prequel, but in all cases ignore movie number 2, and have Boon write it or atleast have key plot points or have the writer research the games not just what is known by everyone, actually put effort, but i wont hold my breath on that one.

How about starting from the Shujinko line?I mean like the quest mode.So we could follow Shujinko's life while seeing other characters:young Shang etc...
There could be a chance that this can happen?
Peace,

...an entire movie following Shujinko? Sounds like a box office record breaker...

Damn straight there, Doug. We can't have a great film if the movie's all about Shujinko because let's face it: if he wasn't given that gift, Shujinko would be a nobody, especially since all his special moves are from other characters. He disgraces Scorpion with his spear move, followed by a terrible, "Get over here!" We need a new beginning, but not with it following Shujinko's storyline.

Hmm, well, I almost missed this post.
I would like to sincerely add that I actually enjoyed both films.
Ok... so the last one actually sucked in terms of both acting and story telling.....and ok, some visuals were down right crappy, but I still bought the slut because it had Cyrax, Ermac, Rain, Scorpion and a young Sub-Zero!  haha... ok. Im not helping myself here. But I will have to jump on the same boat with Kombat K, that Im too, excited about the new MK film!
And when it does come out, I will be ready to geek out! ....uh maybe. 
I hope the movie has that ancient asian vibe going through it similar to that one scene in Kill Bill 2 where the bride trains with Pai Mei. So mystical and powerful. Serious too.
We'll see.
