What is Mortal Kombat: Rebirth?
Source: Latino Review
June 8, 2010
Speculation has run rampant today with the debut of a short "Mortal Kombat" film (subtitled "Rebirth") that made its way anonymously to YouTube. Now, Latino Review reports that the film is, as many theorized, a test for a potential R-rated film reboot of the video game franchise.
The short is directed by Kevin Tancharoen, the director of last year's Fame, and features a cast that includes name actors like Michael Jai White (Jax), Jeri Ryan (Sonya Blade), Matt Mullins (Johnny Cage), Lateef Crowder (Baraka) and Ian Anthony Dale (Scorpion) with fight choreography by Larnell Stovall.
Though there is no guarantee that these actors will play the characters in a feature film version or even that a feature film will actually happen, the short is already a huge success online, with the word "Kombat" already a trending topic on Twitter.

Director of the short
Kevin Tancharoen is a newcomer with some not so great movies as of now, but maybe his could be the beginning of a good run for him.

Definitely, with the amount of momentum this is getting on the internet it would be crazy not to! I hope this starts a trend of "testing the waters" so to speak with movies that should be made, but for some reason studios think viewers are not interested.
