The Mortal Kombat reboot will have to avoid the common pitfalls of video game adaptations associated with plot and character development.
According to Variety, Australian director Simon McQuoid is in talks to helm the Mortal Kombat reboot for New Line Cinema.
While 1995’s Mortal Kombat movie was a box office success and has gained something of a cult following, 1997’s Mortal Kombat: Annihilation was both a critical dud and commercial flop.
Nearly 20 years after Annihilation, a Mortal Kombat reboot is finally in the works with James Wan producing.
