Some interesting new footage has hit YouTube that appears to be a special promo for a new MORTAL KOMBAT movie.  It’s gritty, it’s violent, and… it’s pretty darn awesome.  CHUD is saying this is indeed from a new movie, and goes so far as to note that the fight choreography “comes from the mind of genius fight choreographer Larnell Stovall.  He’s the guy who did the fights for the excellent Undisputed 3: Redemption, on DVD and Blu-ray right now.”  Certain other sources including LatinoReview are saying Kevin Tancharoen (2009’s FAME) directed this footage.  Check it out below, but note, it’s pretty graphic.  The footage introduced the always awesome Michael Jai White (BLACK DYNAMITE) as Jackson “Jax” Briggs, Jeri Ryan as Sonya Blade, and gives pretty in depth intros to characters like Baraka (Lateef Crowder from UNDISPUTED 3), Scorpion (Ian Anthony Dale from the upcoming TEKKEN movie), Johnny Cage (martial arts sensation Matt Mullins), and Reptile (unknown actor).  The footage reminds me a lot of the first RESIDENT EVIL movie, in terms of tone.  It’s definitely going for an “R” rating.  Looks pretty cool!  Check it out below if you dare, and tell us your thoughts in the comments section.
