The trailer above was posted yesterday by YouTube user "MortalKombatRebirth," and it's much too professional and big-budget to be a fan-made video. Unless, of course, Michael Jai White is a huge Mortal Kombat fan who paid for it himself.
Most likely, Mortal Kombat: Rebirth is the name of the next game in the series, although it's also possible that it might be a new movie. Either way, it's clearly a dark new take on the series (which was pretty dark to begin with). More grounded in the real world, Rebirth re-imagines characters like Baraka and Reptile as serial killers, apparently does away with the "Outworld" concept and rubs the entire franchise in a coat of dirt and grime. Check it out.
