Mortal Kombat To Be Rebooted As Web Series!

Mortal Kombat was one of the very few movie adaptations of a videogame to actually work. No surprise then, that the franchise is making a comeback – the surprise is that it will be a web series starring Michael Jai White [Spawn, Black Dynamite] and Jeri Ryan [Star Trek Voyager, Dark Skies], according to a report by ew.com’s Darren Franich.

Shooting for Mortal Kombat is underway for a premiere somewhere around the time of the new Mortal Kombat game.
