So, it looks like the pain inflicted by horrid game-to-movie adaptations will never stop. Not unless, of course, someone decides to murder would-be director Uwe Boll (a person for which, of course, we hold the utmost respect) and free the human evolution chain from its intermediaries. My bet is that you have witnessed, so far, the marvel and beauty provided by the first two Mortal Kombat movies - true artistic masterpieces, Oscar nominees and groundbreaking special effects whores, and by the same guess, I say you hated them. At least, in a certain “oh my fucking God, what the hell is this crap” way.
But war... war never changes. Director Christopher "Mink" Morrison
decided to pick up the remains of (what we have hoped to be) a dead and burried movie franchise and give it a go. Why not, he says, it can't get any worse than its predecessors, right? Right. So stay tuned for some (Un)Goro action in the near future, because the next Mortal Kombat will not continue the almost non-existent plot line set straight by the prequels, hell no, it will be a "re-envisioning of the Mortal Kombat franchise from top to bottom".
Oh boy, and IMDB lists Christopher Lambert as Raiden. Again. I thought Lambert died of old age 20 years ago. Ah well, at least they'll probably get Batman to jerk off from his Gay-Mobile.
