The Mortal Kombat cast has officially been set..and there are some disappointing news as Kitana and Johnny Cage will NOT appear in the film and only 2 female mortal kombat characters will be in the movie, that being Sonya Blade and Mileena

The Reboot has fans yearning for a remake for years after the original film surprised fans of a good adaptation but failed in it sequel when much of the cast members did not return.

Producer James Wan and Australian Director Simon McQuoid will begin filming the movie in Australia next week and it will be a HARD R that will feature the gory FATALITIES from the video games as much of that was not done in the original adaptations.

The cast got together last week at an Australian bar and made a group shot showing all of them together

American Actor, Lewis Tan will play the main character of the movie as he's best known for starring in Into the Badlands and recently Netflix's Wu Assassins. He promises the reboot will NOT disappoint fans and will produce a true adaptation to the video games.

Do you have faith in this film?

I can already tell the film is shit when not even any of the actual cast is slotted as the main lead, and instead it's going to some new meat they created just for this. Absolute horseshit incoming.

And how is a characters portrayal in the game in any way related to a movie character that happens to have the same name?

It should be as close as possible. But a bad or boring game character doesnt have to be a bad or boring movie character.

This movie and its characters are going to be Mortal Kombat in name only and will share little connection to the games.

In todays movies, there are no miscasting of actors, only alternative reimaginings. Hollywood doesnt give a s*** if there are fans of a popular franchise it just bought the rights to make a movie of. Hollywood will outright change a lot of the source material as they see fit for better and for worse. But mostly worse. And when fans of the original, myself included, object to changes, we get criticised.

Well....Kano in the first movie was also completely miscast. In the games Kano was Chinese. It was because of the movie that the games changed Kano to Australian. The reimagining was so popular it changed the games.

Besides. Thats just one image. Make up. New haircut. You can make an actor look different.

Video game adaptions rarely work. I think the number of successful ones can be counted on one hand, which is to say there isn't necessarily five.

Thats the fault of Hollywood, not the videogame.

Same with comic book movies. The comic book original is usually a lot deeper and epic than the movie adaptation, even if the movie adaptation is well received. Marvels Civil War movie was a shallow adaptation of the comic book original.

Exactly, how do you compress 20 hours of story and gameplay down to, at most, 2 hours?

Either make an original story, or don't bother.

You see, Johnny Cage is an American White Male and Hollywood has no zero interest in that demographic. I noticed they didn't hesitate to include Jax, who went back in time to abolish the slave trade which allowed Africa to turn into a Wakandan super civilization.

After seeing Annihilation and losing track of the body count of characters who made a 30 second appearance only to bite it soon after I promised myself I would never sit through another MK movie.

So far this is my response to this movie:

It's funny, because Brandon Lee was first choice to play Johnny Cage until he died. He's probably the main character in another universe.

One thing that's funny about the original Mortal Kombat movie is that you'd only need to change two things to make Johnny Cage the star of the movie:

1) Liu Kang joins the tournament out of obligation to the Shaolin Temple rather than to avenge someone close to him.
2) Johnny Cage fights Shang Tsung at the end.

Jean Claude Van Damme was originally meant to play Johnny Cage, but opted instead to star in Street Fighter so that he could be the central protagonist. It wouldn't have taken much alteration to the plot to have accommodated him. That said, it's for the best that Liu Kang was the star. But it's funny to think that Cage is completely absent when he could have easily as not been the star of the original.

I get there are Cage fans, but the first Mortal Kombat movie and arguably the first game itself are near proxies of "Enter The Dragon." Both star an Asian martial artist out for personal revenge against a mysterious benefactor that owns an island where he holds a world wide martial arts tournament and has a personal enforcer by the name of 'Bolo,' and is the biggest motherfucker there.

Said protagonist ends up making acquaintances with an affluent playboy of Caucasian western heritage and a minority. Said affluent playboy wins his fight against the surrogate Goro motherfucker and the fight even ends with a kick to the balls.

Later on, Asian protagonist and mysterious benefactor whom is also Asian end up fighting in some elaborate hall of mirrors meant to confuse and disorientate our protagonist (much like Shang Tsung does when he transforms into Kang's younger brother to trick and deceive him). The fight ends when the Asian protagonist kills the bad guy by impaling him on his own spike.
