When the Mortal Kombat reboot was announced many were happy but also concerned. They were worried as they didn’t know if this will be able to hold up to there characters. A concern many share given how sometimes that can happen in movie when they adapted it from any material much less videogames. With that said the trailer gave fans hope as we saw the characters in action as there actors brought them to life. The producer is proud of this and has come out and stated how the casting is staying true to the game many of FGC(fighting game community) has become so attached to.
“so going back to being true to the game, all those characters for the first time in a movie, are really cast the appropriate way, whatever nationality they are. And if they’re an alien or demon woman, they didn’t really have an origin or nationality,
[It’s] a testament to Warner Brothers and New Line, to allow us to do that. We want to, you know, you notice… I mean there’s big-name actors for their genres but nobody is… There’s no Christopher Lambert in the movie, no offense. You know, in the ’95 movie, Sub-Zero was a French gymnast. So we wanted to make sure that we were very true to the game, and again, in order to do that, you have to take certain licenses. Otherwise, you’re just jumping into Mortal Kombat. We felt like that would be limiting in terms of just the rest of the world.” Producer Todd Garner
Again it looks great as for whether or not it works out we have to see when the movie drops. If I hear more I will let you know.
