Supposedly this a promo a director made to try and get this movie into production. I like the realistic take on it, even though Jacks is uber corny.
From Latino Review: "The short was directed by Kevin Tancharoen, who did the remake of Fame last year. Judging from this short, Kevin is the perfect director for this movie. Jacks is played by Michael Jai White. Michael played Spawn and was in Undisputed II. Michael makes a great Jacks (Jax). Sonya Blade is played by Jeri Ryan, who played Seven of Nine in Star Trek: Voyager. Baraka was played by the very talented Lateef Crowder, who plays the Brazilian fighter in Undisputed III. Scorpion is played by Ian Anthony Dale. Ian plays Kazuya in the upcoming big screen version of Tekken. Johnny Cage was played by up and coming martial arts sensation Matt Mullins. Still working on who played Reptile. Will update when I find out. The fight choreography was done by Larnell Stovall. Larnell did the fight choreography for Undisputed III and is one of the best fight choreographers in the business."
Spawn = Awesome Michael Jai White = Awesome Mortal Kombat = Awesome I hope they don't mess up all the awesome this movie is built around. I'm looking forward to this.
Im actually really buzzing over this now. If this guy gets the go-ahead with that kind of directing capabilities then I fully believe he will be able to make something great.
