New Line is planning a new Mortal Kombat movie, according to Deadline. The new film will be written by Oren Uziel and directed by Kevin Tancharoen, who self-produced an unauthorized Mortal Kombat short that ultimately led to this production. The short, Mortal Kombat: Rebirth, was an eight minute live action Mortal Kombat story. As a result of the short (which was leaked online), Warner Premiere commissioned a 10-episode Web series, which went up on YouTube this year. The Web series got a strong enough reaction that New Line put the movie deal together. New Line parent Warners acquired the assets of Midway Games, which owned Mortal Kombat, out of bankruptcy in 2009.
