I'm confused by hate for Cassie Cage. IMO she's a really good character. Maybe I'm biased, partly because I've been an OG Johnny Cage fan long since before he was widely considered "cool" until MK9/MKX.

I suppose with a new movie literally anything could happen at this point. We've seen people go all kinds of different directions with Rebirth, Legacy, and MK9.

At the risk of sounding arrogant, there was a point in time where I wanted to try writing a screenplay for a rebooted Mortal Kombat movie. I wouldn't dare dream of trying now, this was years ago, around the time of Deception. As much as it would be my life's dream to be the Chris Claremont of Mortal Kombat, I know that'll never happen.

I just hope that whatever they do is nice. It sounds like they're taking their time with it to try and make sure it will be good, which is the right thing to do, especially when one considers the track history of video game adaptations to film...

I remember reading an article in Electronic Gaming Monthly a long time ago where they interviewed Ed Boon. They asked him whether he liked the first Mortal Kombat movie better or the second. He said, "Are you kidding? That's like asking, 'which do you prefer, lemonade, or piss'?".
