Casper Van Dien And Mark Dacascos Pose For New Pic Teasing MORTAL KOMBAT LEGACY 3

In case anyone here needed anymore indication that another installation of Mortal Kombat Legacy was in the making, then leave it to actor Casper Van Dien, who just posted this photo of him in training with martial arts star, actor Mark Dacascos for said series. Take a look: (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’)); Post by Casper Van Dien. Van Dien already posted at least one photo back in June, indicating a possible return to the role of disenfranchised movie star Johnny Cage in Mortal Kombat Legacy: Season 2. Dacascos played the role of Shaolin warrior monk, Kung Lao, one of the chosen under Raiden, the God of Thunder (David Lee McInnis) to fight in the latest tournament that hinges on the brink of world take over by Netherrealm warlord, […]

MORTAL KOMBAT LEGACY: SEASON 2 Gets A Home Release Date!

Speculation continues over whether or not recent signs of a season three will come through for Mortal Kombat fans who have otherwise become fond of Machinima’s online webseries since any quantitative progress on a feature film remains to be seen. As such, given we have a new game on the way next year with a batch of hot new characters, I could see how some changes would likely need to be made if writer/director Kevin Tancharoen and screenwriter Oren Uziel so chose, but again, nothing is yet known since Tancharoen unceremoniously left the Mortal Kombat frey and mysteriously popped up earlier this year. It really is all just a mystery, and one that awaits solving as we approach a hopeful official announcement. In the meantime, Warner Bros. will be distributing last year’s Mortal Kombat Legacy: Season 2 on Blu-Ray on October 14. Fans can also find Mortal Kombat Legacy: Season […]

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’)); Post by Casper Van Dien. 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 […]

Kevin Tancharoen Surprises The Internet With News On MORTAL KOMBAT LEGACY 3!

Kevin Tancharoen Surprises The Internet With News On MORTAL KOMBAT LEGACY 3!

I’m a little beside myself this morning as I just sat in front of some really intriguing news involving the fever-pitch campaign of enduring patience for any and all news regarding Mortal Kombat. Ever since filmmaker Kevin Tancharoen shook the fan community with news of his departure from the franchise, one could only assume what would happen next only after a seven-minute pitch trailer for a potential feature film, and a two-season Machinima webseries based on the highly popular game. Well, after recently unveiling his latest collaborations with the Jabbawockeez for Regenerate, and the latest pilot episode for The Gable 5, the director is now on record stating talks with Mortal Kombat co-creator and producer Ed Boon and the execs at Warner Bros. will occur this week to get the third season approved. “We are starting to talk about it [Legacy Season 3] literally this week (knock on wood).” Tancharoen […]

Dallas Liu Unleashes In The New "Five Knives" Music Video, THE FUTURE

Wednesday was a great day to be young actor Dallas Liu upon the unveiling of the latest music video for electronic punk rock band Five Knives titled, The Future, from Red Bull Records. Directed by Lance Drake with action choreography by Mindy Kelly, the cinematic musical action short features Liu doing what he does best on screen. For those of you who don’t know, Liu himself happens to be an accomplished award-winning martial artist and a force to be reckoned with, merited by the competitive stats and viral online footage to prove it. I myself discovered Liu earlier this year upon watching a tricking sampler from Travis Wong’s JAM Winter Gathering back in Jaunary shot and edited by martial arts documentarian and filmmaker Pierre Rulon-Miller for Pockets Out Films. He’s already well on his way up with a promising future in martial arts and acting, and whatever he chooses from […]

Go Behind The Scenes With Dan Southworth On HUNTED

Set for a possible 2014 release, the film reunites Hellbinders helmer Mitch Gould, a fellow actor and action performer solely taking over writing and directing duties for this latest feature production with co-star and stunt coordinator Dan Southworth since both appeared in Isaac Florentine’s 2001 direct-to-DVD martial arts action blowout, U.S. Seals 2: The Ultimate Force. Southworth‘s official Facebook page just unveiled a small behind the scenes taste of what’s to come for the new film that stars Southworth in the hardhitting sci-fi action vehicle led by actresses Dominique Swain and Natasha Malthe in a story described as an “‘Expendables’ meets ‘The A-Team’” full-throttle action flick about a group of U.S. mercenaries who get ambushed and betrayed by their own government and must defend themselves against a deadly human droids programmed to kill them.

JUST FOR LAUGHS: Watch Actress Michelle Lee Try To Conquer A Squishyball!

Actress, martial artist, stuntwoman and Inside Kung Fu Magazine covergirl Michelle Lee is a bona fide badass. She recently doubled for actress Rinko Kikuchi in Guillermo Del Toro’s blockbuster Jaeger vs. Kaiju throwdown hit, Pacific Rim, and can currently be seen in Mortal Kombat Legacy: Season 2 as the half-Tarkatan warrior princess, Mileena. Lee has mastered many talents in her lifetime so far (i.e. screenfighting, wirework, weapons, etc.); basically she’s not to be underestimated. However, she may have just discovered her one weakness! **Dun-dun-DUN!!!** During her off-time on Friday while suited up in a motion-capture outfit on the set of a super-secret movie project, she decided to set her sights on a fuzzy, harmless little squishyball. It’s a toy you can pretty much manipulate to almost any level, and it won’t break no matter what. This is several kinds of cute and hilarious! Lee herself finds it pretty addictive, and I […]

Kombat Comes To Life In The New Shortfilm, NERD VS. SCORPION

By now, the internet is full of gems created by filmmakers sought after by the people over at Machinima to help promote the latest release of Mortal Kombat Legacy: Season 2. With that in mind, it seems the celebration continues with the latest interpretive comedic action short from independent filmmaker Aaron Schoenke and the crew over at Bat In The Sun Productions, who are best known for bringing some of the most famed and beloved fictional action heroes to life for fans to enjoy. If anything, Schoenke‘s latest work, Nerd VS. Scorpion will serve as a predecessor to the upcoming October release of his next project, which will see the classic ninja-clad black-and-gold Kombatant face off with the iconic The White Ranger from Saban’s Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, in what is one of the most highly anticipated match-ups in the history of Bat In The Sun. For now though, with […]

YouTube Stars Join Machinima In Celebrating The Release Of MORTAL KOMBAT LEGACY 2

  This week is chock-full of Mortal Kombat gems in light of the latest premiere of Mortal Kombat Legacy: Season 2. With the latest team effort from EMC Monkeys having released their own promotional piece for the series, several other directors also joined the fray, including Mike Dahlquist, Caine Sinclair and David Moore. For the first, Dahlquist (a.k.a. Mike Diva) brings EMC Monkey team members Johnny Yang and Tony Sre in a classic duel to the bloody finish as Scorpion and Noob Saibot. Unlike Yang’s previously clip as Raiden, this one brings fatalities, all the more reason to watch and enjoy. The next video features exquisite work from the team members of Sub Over Hype, with Kristina Baskett, James Hutchison and Solomon Brende starring as classic characters Kitana, Sub-Zero and Scorpion.

The EMC Monkeys Spoof Classic Characters In MONKEY KOMBAT

I’m not at this year’s San Diego Comic Con, and largely because I live too damn far and don’t have the means to travel. Yes, woe is me, indeed.

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.
