Remember that fantastic Mortal Kombat movie pitch that was aired several months ago? Titled ‘Rebirth’, it seemed to take the fantasy element out of the Mortal Kombat universe and slap it with a healthy dose of reality. Unfortunately it seems the movie fell through, but ‘Bloody Disgusting’ is reporting that a ten part web series based on the pitch is to start filming next month.
Not much else is known, but it is thought that actor Michael Jai White is set to take on the role of Jax Briggs.

Its definitely got potential, Im liking the dark and gritty atmosphere, This is what the original MK film should have been.

It looked great, good choice of actors and hopefully Jeri Ryan can appear in the series. And another thing, how come some peoples TSA gamercards have their own pics in?

Gutted that the film seems to have fallen through. Although could be quite good done this way.

Didn’t like it personally, the best thing about MK is it’s fantasy aspects, take that away and it’s not MK anymore. I’m not surprised the movie fell through if that was the pitch, it’s hardly inkeeping with the current game reboot.

Agreed. Mortal Kombat is Earth vs Netherworld. Take out the fantasy element and you lose the entire plot, and it’s not Mortal Kombat.

Even though I agree with some of the comments – take away the fantasy and it’s not MK, I still really enjoyed that short clip Rebirth.
