Last June, an 8-minute short was released, serving as a reintroduction to the world of Mortal Kombat. Directed by Kevin Tancharoen, the trailer sparked plenty of speculation that a new Mortal Kombat film was in the pipepline. Now, Kotaku alleges that instead of a movie, we'll be treated to a web series.

Web series? Really? The only good web series I've seen was Dorm Life and that was low-budget comedy on Youtube. At most they had a few cameras and some sound equipment. The production value on this one betrays the good chunk of change spent for an 8-minute short/pitch.
Looks like Hollywood didn't get hooked on this one. And I can't really blame them, noting their recent entries into the franchise. Who knows. With a healthy budget, it might end up actually being good. But with the history Mortal Kombat has on film...well...we'll just have to wait and see. Here's hoping Black D makes an appearance.
