A NEW Mortal Kombat Movie?

[PS3FTW]

I've heard of a new Mortal Kombat movie being developed soon - or even currently in the works. Anyone else hear anything of the sort?

Well yes there is a new Mortal Kombat movie in the works,
but at this point it doesn’t even have a name... It is being
referred to as "Mortal Kombat (2010)" right now... It will be a
Action / Adventure / Fantasy, and it will be put out by:
Warner Brothers... But as of right now the script is still
being written... Christopher Lambert is (rumored) to play
Lord Rayden... But that is about all I have heard about
it so far... I'll try and update you, if I hear anything else...

2010?! That is going to take forever! I am sure by then I would have completly forgotten about it all. Thats a good bit of time to wait, when was the last done?

I just checked my Annihilation DVD and it didn't say so I'm checking Wikipedia...

It was done in 1997 and it was directed by John R. Leonetti and produced by Lawerence Kasanoff.

And CopyCat, to add to your information, here's some stuff I found via the Wikipedia info for Mortal Kombat Annihilation:

Pre-production on Mortal Kombat: Devastation was initially scheduled to commence shortly after the release of Annihilation, but it was shelved due to Annihilation's poor box-office performance. Nearly a decade later, it is currently in pre-production; however, MK:D has been mired in development hell for a number of years with numerous script rewrites and story changes, along with the destruction of New Orleans by Hurricane Katrina (near where part of the movie was planned to be filmed), further complicating things; however, mink said that they may still shoot there "in the future if that is appropriate place to work for the picture." Limited information regarding the film exists on the official MK website, or from Threshold Entertainment.

Christopher Morrison has been confirmed to direct. The only plot information about Mortal Kombat: Devastation is that it will be a reboot of the MK film saga. he said that the story of the film will draw from the entire universe of MK from the beginning until now. He has also stated that the reason the film is taking a long time to develop is because the intellectual property or project of the script, which Drew McWeeny and Scott Swan originally wrote, is being "handled by the producers and their writers at Threshold Studios in conjunction with Midway, of course" and that "each party has a significant say about the script and the project overall," and because it is an independent film.

2010, thirteen years after Annihilation, has been listed as a tentative release date, but mink expressed concern that the writer's strike may have affected the film. The status of the film as of today is that ". . .the producers are working out their deals with the studio and arranging their financing."
