Speculation has run rampant today with the appearance of a new short 'Mortal Kombat' film (subtitled 'Rebirth') that made its way anonymously to YouTube. Although nothing has been officially confirmed, word is that the footage is a test for a potential R-rated film reboot of the video game franchise.
The short is directed by Kevin Tancharoen ('Fame')Â and features a cast that includes name actors like Michael Jai White (Jax), Jeri Ryan (Sonya Blade), Matt Mullins (Johnny Cage), Lateef Crowder (Baraka) and Ian Anthony Dale (Scorpion), with fight choreography by Larnell Stovall ('Undisputed 3').
Though there is no guarantee that these actors will play the characters in a feature film version or even that a feature film will actually happen, the short is already a huge success online and you can check it out below.
