Mortal Kombat was never going to be easy to adapt to the big screen. Although, I do love the cheesefest that is the original big screen adaptation.
The new movie seems to be taking what can only be described as a ‘unique direction’ as Bloody Disgusting reports that Oren Uziel’s screenplay will follow the fortunes of a supermarket employee.
The trolley pusher discovers he has ‘out of this world powers’ and must help win the battle between good and evil.
In a twist, Team Evil are the ones who help the plucky employee discover his arse kicking abilities – will that lure him to the dark side?
No. Of course not, that never happens in movies, he’s going to be a goody two shoes.
How the plot moves from a supermarket to a magical island and fights to the death is anybody’s guess.

Why does it have to leave the supermarket? Sub Zero in the frozen foods section, Raiden in the electrical aisle, Scorpion BBQing chickens in the deli and Goro… can you imagine FOUR arms on checkout?
