Mortal Kombat movie writer discusses his first experience with the franchise

Writer Greg Russo is working on the upcoming Mrotal Kombat movie, and it's a franchise he's very familiar with. In an interview with Comicbook.com, Russo revealed where he first was introduced to the Mortal Kombat franchise.

"When I was growing up in high school, there was a bowling alley near my house that I used to go to a lot, just to kind of get away from the daily shit that we all go through, and I would just spent hours in ther eand they had [a Mortal Kombat 2] machine, and you know, back in the mid '90s [...] they had these things called arcades, I guess the new kids won't be too familiar with those. But back then we had arcades, and they became these really cool social hangouts, it was just where you'd go and you'd spend time with a bunch of fellow gaming nerds. And so yeah, the MK2 machine was my go-to. That's where I really cut my teeth and Kitana was my player, so I was well-versed in her moveset on that machine. And you had to be or else you'd be kicked out of the arcade."
