Short Film ‘Mortal Kombat: Rebirth’ Brings the Bloody Goods!
Update: Twitch is reporting that this is a promo for a feature film. Hmmmmmm. We’re not getting a new Mortal Kombat movie anytime soon (thanks to the ongoing lawsuit), so why not dabble in this 7 minute long online short entitled Mortal Kombat: Rebirth? While nobody knows why this exists (to pitch a feature, just for fun – or most likely to promote a new game to be announced at this year’s E3), it does star Michael Jai White (The Dark Knight, Spawn, Kill Bill) as some sort of detective walking us through the origins of the fighters. The production value is pretty insane, and it’s nice and graphic. Thank the Gods my friends didn’t make this because the fight scene would feature a leg sweep over, and over, and over again (dicks). Enjoy below and then tell us what you think! I’d love to see Scorpion as the lead character.
Ryan Gosling (Project Hail Mary) has made no secret of the fact that he’d love to play Ghost Rider in a Marvel Cinematic Universe movie, and it’s now officially happening.
Announced by Marvel out of San Diego Comic-Con tonight, Ryan Gosling will play the iconic Marvel character in a Ghost Rider movie being directed by Shawn Levy!
Expect Ryan Gosling to play Ghost Rider on the big screen in 2028.
Johnny Blaze is of course the most iconic and well-known Ghost Rider, selling his soul to Satan and becoming a supernatural badass. Nicolas Cage brought Blaze to life on screen in both 2007’s Ghost Rider and 2011’s Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, while Gabriel Luna more recently played the Robbie Reyes version of Ghost Rider in the series “Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.”
Luna was set to star in his own Ghost Rider spinoff series in the wake of that small screen appearance, but that Hulu project ended up being squashed before it ever had a chance.
Fans have been waiting for Ghost Rider to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe for many years now, with Ryan Gosling making it clear that he’d love to bring the character back to life.
That Hollywood dream is coming true. Stay tuned for more as we learn it.
