<\/em><\/strong>The upcoming Mortal Kombat movie reboot has been confirmed by Warner Bros, along with a huge budget that should bring some fatalities to the big-screen.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe’re preparing right now for the film with Kevin Tancharoen, [who<\/em>] directed the digital series for us,” Warner executive Lance Sloan confirmed.<\/p>\n

Tancharoen was given the job after he made a short Mortal Kombat web film, which garnered an immediate cult following. Tancharoen was then put onto direct a 10-episode web series for the company.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe sent the piracy people after him, to take it down and put him in jail. And cut to a couple months later he was directing the digital series for us. And now he is at the helm of a forty, fifty million dollar feature film.”<\/p>\n

There are no other details regarding the project, although Oren Uziel (who wrote the web series) has been slated for script duty.<\/p>\n
