Filming said to begin next month.
A 10-episode web series based on gory fighting game series Mortal Kombat is in the works, the wonderfully-named website Bloody Disgusting reports.
Kevin Tancharoen, the man who last year attempted to convince Warner Bros. to fund a new Mortal Kombat film when he pitched the idea with gritty eight-minute short film Mortal Kombat: Rebirth, will direct.
Michael Jai White, who played Jax in Rebirth, will play Jax in the series, while a number of other characters, including Shang Tsung, Liu Kang, Sub Zero, Durak, Kabal, Kitana, Mileena and Scorpion are expected to feature. Apparently the plot goes something like this: “A few Earthlings will fight to save the planet from Shao Kahn and Shang Tsung, two Gods ruling over parallel universes, or something to that effect.” Classic.
