During a recent 24-hour live stream hosted by Machinina to celebrate Machinima Prime’s first birthday, host Khail Anonymous sat down for some game time and a little talk with Kevin Tancharoen, the either loved or hated, but VERY talented writer and director of the highly acclaimed short film, Mortal Kombat: Rebirth, both seasons of the hit webseries, Mortal Kombat Legacy, and the currently developing Mortal Kombat feature film with “Rebirth” and “Men In Black 4” scribe Oren Uziel. It was yesterday that fans finally got past a day to view a new clip from the webseries shared by Tancharoen near the very end of the 24-hour anxiety driven waiting period, which adds to the excitement already heightened by several bits of promotional footage now available online, including an official trailer, a television trailer, Cannes footage, and talk of a September release from some of the cast members at a recent cast and crew screening.
Unlike its predecessor, Mortal Kombat: Legacy – Season 2, based on the hit fighting game which spawned films, comic book, a television series and various other vehicles since its conception more than twenty years ago, will focus its story solely on the tournament featuring new and returning characters, including Casper Van Dien as movie star Johnny Cage, David McInnis as Raiden the god of thunder, Samantha Jo as outworld princess and heroine Kitana, Michelle Lee as her half-breed Tarkatan sister Mileena, Eric Jacobus as lawman Kurtis Stryker, Mark Dacascos as the warrior monk Kung Lao, Brian Tee as conflicted anti-hero Liu Kang, Kim Do as ninja sorceror Ermac, Dan Southworth as blind swordsman Kenshi, Eric D. Steinberg and Ian Anthony Dale as bitter rival ninjas Sub-Zero and Scorpion, and Cary Tagawa in a returning reprisal of his 1995 film character as the evil sorceror, Shang Tsung.
Check out the clip below, featuring the amazingly choreographed round between Scorpion and Sub-Zero and stay tuned for updates as they come!
