This a MK reboot I chose who should direct, writer, actors.The film will take place on the 1st game only maybe bit of 2. Some characters will not be on here but maybe some cameos for surely no reptile,kitana(maybe..),shao kahn perhaps I will start with the director

It took me awhile but I found who should be the director
James McTeigue

I chose him because I believe he can do an awesome MK film I really liked NINJA ASSASSIN V for Vendetta he did a good jobs on those and why not let him try

It took me awhile to decide who should write the film i had to think of it for awhile here he is
David S Goyer

I really think he can write an awesome MK film he was 1 of the 3 writers of TDK and 1 of the 2 of Batman Begins also wrote all 3 Blade films even though the 3rd wasn't as good as the other 2 but he is writing the upcoming Superman The Man Of Steel and TDKR (also known as The Dark Knight Rises well 1 of the 3)

Now the Heroes

Liu Kang
Rain
I chose him to play Liu Kang because he can act well like on NINJA ASSASSIN and also gets along well with his co-stars and I think he can do an awesome Liu Kang but we haven't seen him in much movies so it won't hurt to let him play Liu Kang

Johnny Cage
Chris Evans
I chose him because 1 he is a good/funny actor like on Fantastic 4 and The Losers 2 he can act like johnny cage who doesn't think that Chris Evans can be cage also will be Captain America on the upcoming 2011 film The 1st Avenger Captain America

Sub-Zero 1
Rick Yune
I chose rick yune because he is a good actor he can do an awesome sub-zero he can show that he can do a good job as well but sadly he will be playing the 1st sub-zero he will come back for a little role on MK2 but goes missing after the end of the film which we will find out on the sequel

Sonya Blade
Erica Durance
okay I got to admit that Sonya was the hardest to cast but I chose durance because she is a good actress she can do a good Sonya Blade she is almost the same age as Chris Evans I think or a couple years younger I don't know. My point is reason I cast her is because I wanted somebody who can be on these MK films for like sequels

Raiden
Russel Wong
I chose Wong because I know he does martial arts also can act so I thought hey why not let him try out Raiden he seems like he can do it I originally wanted Thomas Jane to play Raiden because he kinda looks like Christopher Lambert is it just me who kind of realize that.

Neutral

Scorpion
Byung Hun Lee
the reason I chose him is because he can play a awesome scorpion thought he did a good job on GI Joe he played a good storm shadow I can see him do a couple more sequels on these MK films but want Scorpion to voiced by none other than ed boon who doesn't want to hear ed boon shouting GET OVER HERE!!!!!!!!! to sub-zero or johnny cage right.

Villains

Shang Tsung
Ian Anthony Dale
I chose him because he did an awesome job playing kazuya on tekken he can play good villains on this film Shang Tsung will be old on here till the last 3rd of it so they can CGI or make up on Ian to look old

Goro
Brian Steele
I chose Steele because he is taller then Derek Meers also Steele can motion capture Goro after watching PREDATORS I realized how tall Steele is to Meers but voiced by Clancy Brown

Cameos

Sub-Zero(2)
Jon Foo
I thought he can be the 2nd Sub-Zero after the 1st Sub-Zero goes missing at the end of the film but his scene will be during the credits the Lin Kuei will tell the clan that Shang Tsung was not killed at Mortal Kombat and the disappearance of the 1st Sub-zero then they summon well ask up his brother telling him he will be the new Sub-Zero but in a different uniform telling you must find Shang Tsung and your brother.

Shao Kahn
Brain Steele
he will be only on a throne sitting than one of his servants tell him that out world has lost at Mortal Kombat and he stands up looks like he's gonna say something then it goes to the credits Brian just needs to be dressed like Kahn and next week I will find who should play Kahn

THAT"S ALL FOLKS come back next friday or tomorrow depending if I'm not doing anything tomorrow and work on the next MK film or might work on a Dragon Age Origin fan cast you decide !!!!!

James McTeigue as Director - Fail

David Goyer as writer - Fail

Rain as Liu Kang - Fail

Chris Evans as Johnny Cage - Fail

Erica Durance as Sonya - Fail

Wong would be a better Tsung

Byung Hun Lee would be a better Subzero

Ian Anthony Dale would be better as Scorpion

Jon Foo should be saved for Kung Lao in a sequel

Everything else is ok I guess but seriously no A-listers or known actors for MK(especially teen idols like Erica Durance). It's best to cast mostly unknown martial arts for MK to make it easier for them to embody the characters.

Am I the only one who would like to see Vinnie Jones as Kano? The guy's big, great at thug roles, and at times, just plain old "F**ked in the head".

I'm glad you picked Clancy Brown for the voice of Goro, although I now fear for Johnny Cage's jhorblochs... (MEGAS XLR reference for those who've never seen the old CN animated series. And yes, I think it'd be better if he voiced Goro the way he did Warmaster Gorrath.)

I could see Durance for Sonya for her look and it'd be a great bridge for her between Smallville and becoming a movie actress. But Smallville actresses becoming fighting game characters is kind of, shall we say, O and one? Then again, there's an excuse for THAT sucking: It's STREET FIGHTER!

I'd like to see Ian Anthony Dale in a MK capacity, due to his portrayal of Kazuya, but I thought he was just wrong for Scorpion. Shang Tsung (or possibly saving him for Quan Chi in the future) would be a better use of his unquestionable evil act. It's also what made you think you were sooooo smart in thinking he was the killer in his Dollhouse episode. However, let's hope he doesn't become the next Robin Shou.(the one guy EVERY fighting game movie has in common these days)

@Sweetre15: the only TRUE A-Lister on this list is Chris Evans. FOR THE MOST PART, I agree with you on the "no A-list", but you have to have ONE to put on the poster to attract the non-gamer but interested crowd. The original '95 movie had Christopher Lambert (fresh off Highlander movies) and it worked perfectly. Also, at age 32, I'd highly doubt Durance can still be referred to as "teen idol"

all in all, I think this is a really good list. The best I've seen in, maybe 5 years. My only real disagreements are a lack of Kano and Evans as Johnny Cage. He just doesn't sit right with me for some reason, but Hell, I could live with it. Till next time...

Did you know that Clancy Brown voiced Rayden in the short lived Mortal Kombat: Defenders of the Realm. lol
TheEmperor
TheEmperor - 10/30/2010, 12:17 PM
@subzero1077: yes and he had a great line in the first episode. Sonya said something reeeally stupid to Raiden and his response?

"You really do have a death wish, don't you?"

Clancy Brown's great, as was Lambert. James Remar, while a great ACTOR, not so much a good RAIDEN. My favorite Thunder God had to be Jeff Meek from Conquest(too many great lines to Kung Lao, Siro and Taja to not call him awesome)

______________________________________________________
Kung Lao: What should I do?

Raiden: Me, I'd beat the hell outta them, but I'm a god. I do that sort of thing.

Kung Lao: So your answer is to be no better than them.

Raiden: No, you have to be better than them, much better than them to win.

You should have Katheryn Winnick play Sonya. Look her up she's blonde and a good actress and a martial artist. Same Age as Durance. Durance as Sonya sounds just as bad as Kate Bosworth as Lois IMO.

The only "popular" actor type casting I wouldn't mind is Gerard Butler as Kano and maybe Rhona Mitra as Kitana in a sequel.
TheEmperor
TheEmperor - 10/31/2010, 12:47 AM
NO, keep Butler AWAY from Mortal Kombat, you fool! Last thing I need is "Madness? THIS IS OUTWORLD!". He wouldn't say it, but it'd still run through my head forever! I'm just sick of people thinking every action movie needs him or Jason Statham. I do like the Katheryn Winnick idea, though, and if you still wanna use someone riding off Smallville popularity, I'd suggest Justin Hartley (Green Arrow) as a Stryker cameo and in a bigger Stryker capacity in the future. He's got the right look for the MK: Armageddon version.

@TheEmperor: I don't really want Butler Im just saying that I wouldn't lose any sleep if he was used to attract the mainstream audience.

The person who said Katheryn Winnick to play sonya is right and I forgot about Kano sorry my fault I was tired as hell when I did it and I chose Kevin Durrand to play Kano I think he is a really good actor he can play a good Kano but I think he is a bit tall for it but who cares Hugh Jackman was like 6ft and wolverine was like 5.3ft so it won't hurt and MK2 fan cast will be out on Thursday at 4:45 and need to decide what should I work on after MK2 A. MK3 fan cast
B. Dragon Age Origins fan cast
C. Star Wars reboot part 4-6 fan cast well weekly

TheEmperor - 10/31/2010, 9:44 PM
I could see Durrand as Kano. I actually kinda saw a half-shortbus Kano in him when he did Smokin' Aces for some reason.

Good Cast. I especially liked Liu Kang, Sub-Zero, and Scorpion. However I feel Chris Evans' name is being throw in everyone's cast lately so we need some new blood. Other than that and Sonya, pretty good.
