Casper Van Dien Begins Training For MORTAL KOMBAT LEGACY 3

Not many casting details are not yet known about the surprise forthcoming production of Mortal Kombat Legacy: Season 3 following the intial report from late March when director Kevin Tancharoen stated he was actively speaking with game franchise producer Ed Boon and executives at Warner Bros about the new installation. However, at least one actor from season two is taking to his Facebook page to share a little something-something with his followers:

(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = “//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1”; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); }(document, ‘script’, ‘facebook-jssdk’));

Hopefully this bit of news will lead to the active production of the feature film that has been developing since 2010 when Tancharoen put himself on the map with the stellar fan shortfilm, Mortal Kombat Rebirth. For those not in the know, it was that very shortfilm that ultimately led to the hit webseries, first airing in 2011 with season one and late last year with season two before Tancharoen announced he was transitioning to other creative opportunities, essentially stepping away from the franchise altogether.

“With Legacy Season 1, it was kind of a big experiment.”, Tanchareon said in March. “No one has done it before, and we didn’t know if should be an anthology or connected. We did the first one as an anthology and the second one more serialized. In the future, it will definitely be more connected and more cohesive…. We all feel right now that we have such a trajectory to the series. There are so many more stories to tell in that format.”.

I suppose aside from casting, other questions to consider may be… well, how do you top what this webseries recently did? Could this mark a major comeback effort with Tancharoen in the director’s seat for the series AND a film? And what will this mean for the current script in light of the new characters created for the new game, Mortal Kombat X?

This is gonna be nuts.
