MORTAL KOMBAT

The trailer for the latest live action MORTAL KOMBAT has dropped, adapting the notoriously uber-violent video fight game yet again for a new generation (The "last" feature was in 1995). Along with the sprawling cast, I am also jazzed to see Singapore-born Chin Han (playing "Shang Tsung") on screen.

In U.S. theatres and streaming exclusively on HBO Max on April 16th. Scroll past the trailer for synopsis (from www.mortalkombatmovie.net) and some select stills.

SYNOPSIS: "In “Mortal Kombat,” MMA fighter Cole Young, accustomed to taking a beating for money, is unaware of his heritage—or why Outworld's Emperor Shang Tsung has sent his best warrior, Sub-Zero, an otherworldly Cryomancer, to hunt Cole down. Fearing for his family's safety, Cole goes in search of Sonya Blade at the direction of Jax, a Special Forces Major who bears the same strange dragon marking Cole was born with. Soon, he finds himself at the temple of Lord Raiden, an Elder God and the protector of Earthrealm, who grants sanctuary to those who bear the mark. Here, Cole trains with experienced warriors Liu Kang, Kung Lao and rogue mercenary Kano, as he prepares to stand with Earth’s greatest champions against the enemies of Outworld in a high stakes battle for the universe. But will Cole be pushed hard enough to unlock his arcana—the immense power from within his soul—in time to save not only his family, but to stop Outworld once and for all?"
