Mortal Kombat: Rebirth director says film was made public by mistake, hopes to create feature film
“I am not the most technically savvy YouTube person. What came out wasn’t the final product in my mind. I wasn’t done yet. It was still in its rough phase, but I couldn’t send a 2GB file over email, so my friend said I could create a private page on YouTube and sent it to him to review. It turns out it wasn’t that private. I looked on Twitter and saw MK was trending and thought ‘Oh God, did someone beat me to the punch?’ The actors could have quickly rebelled against me. Thank God people liked it, because it could have gone really bad.” - Director Kevin Tancharoen
Mr. Tancharoen is now working to create the episodic series for Mortal Kombat: Rebirth, but he hopes that the project’s success will allow him to take the idea to the big screen.
“The bigger thing for me, of course, is I want to translate this to a feature. I would love to tell the stories that lead the character up to a certain point, then have them merge together in a big 3D movie.”
