Warner Bros. has dated its new Mortal Kombat movie for March 5, 2021, with James Wan producing and Simon McQuoid directing.

Mortal Kombat will do battle on its opening date with Sony Pictures’ fantasy adventure Masters of the Universe, which Noah Centineo will lead as the Most Powerful Man in the Universe.

Pre-production on Mortal Kombat will start this month with cameras scheduled to start rolling in Adelaide, Australia, later this year. South Australia Premier Steven Marshall announced on May 13 that it will be the biggest film production in the state’s history.

Midway debuted the video game in 1992 with a story focusing on the monk Liu Kang working to save Earth from an evil sorcerer. The development of the first game was originally based on an idea that Ed Boon and John Tobias had of making a video game starring Jean-Claude Van Damme, but then evolved into a horror-fantasy fighting game.

Good to hear. That’s something for me to look forward to, since I loved the original movie when it came out and played the game for years.

When I couldn’t find my VHS copy of the original MK movie, I ended up buying the box set of the two movies that also came with fan made original MK films. The fan films are surprisingly good. Available from a Best Buy’s website.
