THE RAID Actor Joe Taslim is Set To Play Sub-Zero in New MORTAL KOMBAT Movie
James Wan is producing the movie and the script for it was written by Greg Russo who previously talked about the tone of the film, saying:
“Yeah, I think that’s essential when you’re talking about this property. Is there really a super serious dark version of this? Yeah, I guess, but that’s not Mortal Kombat to me. Just look at Kano as an example, he’s a great character. He’s always cracking jokes. To me there needs to a certain levity and a fun tone. While there is violence and there is fighting and real stakes and emotional stakes for all the people involved at the end of the day it still should be fun and a sense of humor. As much as I hate to throw up the direct comparison to Marvel they’re still fun and always cracking jokes but obviously ours will be a bit more adult.”
There are no details regarding the plot of the film, but we know that there is going to be a lot of hardcore fighting between lots of different characters from different realms. They are all battling for ultimate supremacy.
While I loved the original Mortal Kombat film that was released in 1992, I’m excited to see an updated modern take on the classic fighting game. Sub-Zero has been a character of the franchise from the very beginning and it’ll be cool to see how he’s going to be portrayed in the new film!
The movie is set to start shooting in southern Australia later this year.
