Oh, joy. There's going to be a new Mortal Kombat film, just as soon as the legality gets worked out between the studios in charge, there will reportedly be a new film based on the now-ancient videogame. However, don't look for it to be a sequel. What they have in mind is something else entirely. The plan is to 'restart' the franchise a la Batman Begins. Just to, you know, press reset on the whole thing and start again.
We're not sure why the powers-that-be think that a new Mortal Kombat is going to be any better than the old ones, and the heat is certainly not what it was on the franchise, but stranger things have happened. It's possible that something good could come of this whole thing, however unlikely.
