Mortal Kombat: Legacy

With the "concept trailer," Mortal Kombat: Rebirth, director Kevin Tancharoen, who, without the studio's participation in the making of the short, showed Warner Bros. (who holds the rights to Mortal Kombat) what he would do, if given the chance to make a new Mortal Kombat feature film.

Warner Bros. took notice of Tancharoen's work and the positive attention it got, though a movie is not the result. Instead, Bloody Disgusting reports that Tancharoen will be directing an official, Warner Bros. produced, 9-episode Mortal Kombat webseries titled Mortal Kombat: Legacy. Tancharoen, Todd Helbing and Aaron Helbing will write the webseries, while Michael Jai White, Jeri Ryan, and Matt Mullins will reprise their roles from the short as Jax, Sonya Blade, and Johnny Cage respectively.

Bloody Disgusting writes, "The only plot details we could conjure up is that a few Earthlings will fight to save the planet from Shao Kahn and Shang Tsung, two Gods ruling over parallel universes, or something to that effect." This is the a curious part of the story, given how the trailer was much more rooted in a real world take on the Mortal Kombat story. Oddly, while the first episode of the series is rated "TV-MA", the second episode has been critisized by fans for undergoing censorship of key scenes (namely the destruction and subsequent reconstruction of Kano's eye) several hours after it had aired on YouTube. Machinima, the hosts of Mortal Kombat: Legacy, have yet to clarify why they felt it was necessary to do this despite the now constant fan outcry.
