Moviehole got the chance to speak to director Christopher 'mink' Morrison (Into the Sun) about the status of the upcoming third installment in the "Mortal Kombat" franchise. While not much has happened, mink assures fans that the project is still moving forward.
"Mortal Kombat is still in the money stage," he explained. "As I have said in the past inquires, independent films need to be financed before you start making money based creative decisions, and as you may have noticed, the economy in general is a little sluggish at the moment especially in Hollywood. Indy investors are more cautious at this particular time than recently, so it takes longer than ever. MK more than likely will be an Indy film. The film's projected budget will be between $50 and $60 million so it is a bit more tricky than just running down to the ATM or writing a cashiers check. Currently Threshold is working out the financing through a studio and or equity situation. This will take as long as needs to take. I know the frustration this causes the awesome MK fans but that's the fact Jack..."
Mink also mentioned that he has contacted some of the original cast members about possibly reprising their roles in the new film. "In regards to the past cast, they and myself have met with a lot of the previous cast and they are all in the mix but as the money must come first so casting is still a few steps away. So for now efforts are best spent on the non money creative for someone like myself in regards to visual style, locations, photography style and concept art ideas."
