To me it's a bad idea for Warner Brothers to buy the rights to the movie.
Here's why:
Chances are they may waterdown the fighting sequence and fatalties. pst..
they might make it pg 13 friendly like.
The Fights should be like those of asian movies (like they did with both Mk movie and MK:A movie, jet li movies, jackie chan movies, Jean Claude-Van Damme movies, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, The Forbidden Kingdom..etc) They all have great fights, long fight sequences. They don't have the ridiculous american fights (boxing, a few punches, a few kicks (ie: X-men franchise) {even though i liked x-men}.
And this movie should be more darker and more gritter as stated by i think Mink. If Warner Brothers make this. I have a feeling it's going to be watered down. :O
And Heck nah, they better not make it kid friendly/watered down. Pst..
Tell me a few things:
1. Which warner brothers movie was not kid friendly and makes you think it's a great idea for them to buy mortal kombat....
2. How the heck did he lose to warner brothers? didn't he own the rights? Wasn't that his own work? If so, does that mean anybody can own the rights to your creation buy court?? that's not freedom.

1. 300; Friday the 13th; Final Destination; American History X; Eyes Wide Shut - just to name a few. I could list more but I think you get my point that WB make adult / mature movies too.
2. He may not have been able to sue them but I'm pretty sure he still retained the rights. The law suit was about that guysueing WB, therefore him loosing does NOT mean he looses the rights, it just means he doesn't get any moey from WB.
Personally I would rather WB makes an MK movie as they have shown they are capable, where-as the guys who made the first two MK films have only proven they are incapable of actuallt making a decent movie.

Shit, now I don't have anything to say about it... |
The thread had a funny title. It would have been hard to miss it.

And with the recent Harry Pothead movie being more sexual than porn, and still maintained a PG rating, I'm starting to think it might not be such a bad idea for WB to take over the MK films.

You are only to understand this community. We say almost whatever comes to our mind (especially me), and nobody cares about it (especially me). |
I second that.

I have something to say about WB making a MK movie (even if it is off-topic... Off MY topic...)
Everybody makes stuff so they could sell. If the WB would make a MK movie, it would be made in such a way that it would be suitable for as much people as possible (teen-adults, not kids...).
The story of the MK games is too confusing for the people who've never played the game, and thus wouldn't sell well.
If the MK movie was gonna sell, they would have to change the story in such a way that almost no MK fan would like it. And EVEN THEN the story would again be too confusing for a non-MK-gamer.
Sure, the first movie was pretty good, but that was when the MK story wasn't that complicated. As soon as it got more complicated (MK Annihilation), the movie sucked.
That's what I want to say, I don't think there's ever gonna be another good MK movie, or even a game, for that matter...

I could write a novel on the MK universe, and it would sell.
The storyline isn't complicated, it's abused.
The writers all want to put in their own insight, instead of coming together to figure out what works best. They don't take their time on writing a decent script. The storyline is flawed because people don't want to think anymore.
The only story within the MK universe that has never really been flawed was Kitana's. Throughout the entire franchise, she maintained her close friendship with Goro, her hatred for Shao Kahn, and her loyalty to the White Lotus Society. Jade's story intertwined with Kitana's and the choice of who she'd remain loyal to was revealed in MKD. Sindel's MK3 ending carried on throughout the series as well. I'll be honest and admit I even felt crestfallen seeing Kitana's ending in MKDA, because it was very realistic and people could relate to it.
If any character in MK should have a movie based on them, it should be Kitana, based on her entire life. Sure, it would be a Drama, but it could be Oscar-worthy, too.
Trust me. Think back throughout the series. Her story has remained untouched.

The novel would sell. The movie wouldn't sell.
"What the hell is this?? The description of the movie says it's a drama based on a fighting Video Game?? I ain't watching this!"
But on the other hand... : "What the hell is this?? I'm a big MK fan, but making a drama out of all that blood and gore is just wrong. I ain't ever watching this ever again!"

Of course, the neither the movie nor the novel would be for MK fans, but to pull in a new audience.
Though I must say, and no offense to anyone, only a true MK fan would appreciate a movie such as that.

Well, for me, someone who aspires to become a game designer and one day own his own video game franchise, the MK franchise has always been my moving force, a huge piece of inspiration.
Take a good look at the list of fighting game franchises:
Street Fighter
Tekken
Soul Calibur
Dead Or Alive
Killer Instinct (for the sake of discussion)
Def Jam
Super Smash Bros.
How many of these actually has a decent storyline, one that be dependable to keep the franchise alive in any form?
None of those franchises are able to move forward by means of a story, not even Soul Calibur, whose story is beyond well written. These franchises use engines and kick-ass graphics to keep the games rolling. While - and let's be honest with ourselves - Mortal Kombat has journeyed on not merely because of its blood and gore, but because of the curiosity we have on the whereabouts of these characters.
I'm sure you've played a MK game, saw an ending, and wondered "I wonder how this will play out in the next game." But have you done this with other fighting games? I doubt it, it's not possible.
Though flawed, the MK franchise still has a story, and a damn good one when compared to the likes of Street Fighter, DOA, or Tekken.
If I am wrong about this, please correct me. I don't want to continue sounding like a complete idiot, if that's what I'm doing.

Only problem is - and film companies are still too stupid to realize this - is that if they dumbed down a story that has already been established, then the movie will flop as no fan would want to watch it, and all the "possible" new fans wouldn't like it either because it's not what they would be expecting (expections for something relating to MK are: blood; gore; fatalities; brutal fights; interesting characters). In both MK movies we get none of these - and it's one of the reasons why the films flopped!
If the games are popular enough to get 6 sequels, about 7 spin-offs, 2 movies, a cartoon series, a comic series, and a number of other media - then I'm pretty sure it's popular enough to make shit-loads of money if they actually made a GOOD movie that has the same feel and vibe as the games.
So if they want to make a film that maximizes profit - make it like the games! But again, companies are too stupid to realize this and think giving it a lower age rating means more people are likely to see it - and oh how stupid are they!! Problem is, it's the fans who suffer the most!
