Mortal Kombat producer Todd Garner promises that the reboot will give Sub Zero and Scorpion justice after they were underutilized in the ’90s.
The producer of the upcoming Mortal Kombat reboot promises to do justice to Sub Zero and Scorpion. The Mortal Kombat series started off as an arcade game in 1992 and quickly grew to become one of the most well-known video game franchises around. A few years after the first game’s release, New Line Cinema attempted to adapt the games for two feature-length films, which didn’t go over well with fans and critics. Now, Warner Bros. is rebooting the franchise.
The Mortal Kombat reboot has been stuck in development hell for quite some time, but fans started to see more progress once James Wan signed on as a producer. From the very beginning, Wan assured fans that they weren’t going to rush the movie in order to make sure it was done right. Fans were thrilled to hear last year that the Mortal Kombat movie would not only be R-rated but also include game accurate fatalities. Mortal Kombat wrapped filming in December, and now the producer of the film is once again reassuring fans.
