Short Film “Mortal Kombat: Rebirth” Debuts Online Dan Koelsch, June 8, 2010 Today there was some mystery brewing about a short film that debuted on YouTube yesterday titled Mortal Kombat: Rebirth. The 8 minute long video looks well done (and possibly made with at least some budget), but there is very little info given about who made it and why. There are no credits, but Devin at CHUD figured it out. It’s some kind of demo reel/proof of concept for investors for a new Mortal Kombat movie. With the previous MK attempts falling flat, “gritty realism” seems to be the selling point this time around. It’s still unclear whether thus is meant directly for investors or simply to show them the appeal of the material, since views and comments on YouTube are a good indicator of how the potential audience would receive the movie. What do you think of it? Would you want to see a full length Mortal Kombat movie that was in this style? Viral Marketing Mortal Kombat: RebirthViral video
