New MK Movie To Double as Theme Park
The Inquirer is reporting that a new Mortal Kombat movie is in the works. Not only that, the production company plans to keep the sets up and running after the film is done, using them like a kind of theme park. From the article: "I believe there's an extraordinary opportunity to build a state-of-the-art production studio-slash-Hollywood theme park and training facility right in the middle of town. There would be actual movies being made there, and an observation platform to watch."
I can see it now:
Director: "Action!"
Sly Stallone: (unintelligible)
Some kid from the observation deck: "Hey, it's Rocky!"
Director: "Cut! Dammit! That's the 8th time today!"
oh yeah...I'm sure it will be a really popular place to film movies.
They're redoing the Mortal Kombat movie(s)?!
<sarcasm>
Why, Was there something wrong with the originals?

In the meantime various cast members from the previous Kombat films are negotiating contracts to return in the third installment.
Kooke: "Pleeeeeease?"
Casting Agent: "No!"
Kooke: "But I played Scorpion and Mr. Freeze!"
Casting Agent: "Sub-Zero. And that was somebody else - you were Reptile"
Kooke: "I wasn't that bad."
Casting Agent: "What do you think Lambert?"
Lambert: "I've been alive for four and a half centuries, and I've never seen an actor as bad as you. Except maybe that Sonya girl. Or the guy who played Johnny Cage. Oh, and that guy who played Ted from Bill and Ted."
Kooke: "Acting advice from Mr. Beowolf"
Lambert: "Hey! I was born in 1518 in the village of Glenfinnan. I needed the money."
Kooke: "You need to stop hanging out with Adam West and start taking your pills."
Lambert: "Your acting is stale and inhuman. You looked dead on the screen."
Kooke: "Hello? Undead lizard with Paul Anderson directing?"
Casting Agent: "...Good point. Welcome to the cast."
