This spring, ‘Mortal Kombat’ fans were delighted by ‘Mortal Kombat: Legacy,’ a series of viral short films directed by Kevin Tancharoen (‘Fame,’ ‘Glee: The 3D Concert Movie’) which started as ‘Mortal Kombat: Rebirth,’ an unauthorized short film Tancharoen directed to prove he could handle a live-action reboot of ‘Mortal Kombat’ for Warner Bros. Apparently, it worked! Deadline reports that New Line is going forward with a new ‘Kombat’ with Tancharoen set as director. Oren Uziel will write the script. Watch an episode of ‘Mortal Kombat: Legacy,’ with Michael Jai White and Jeri Ryan ahead to get a taste of what you can expect from Tancharoen’s video game reboot.
