Actress Explains Mysterious Mortal Kombat Clip
Remember that awesome Mortal Kombat re-imagining from yesterday? It turns out that it wasn't a trailer for a new game or movie after all - but it could become one.
Yesterday, we got a glimpse at about 8 minutes of what appeared to be "reboot" of the beloved 1995 movie [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/101195-Mystery-Mortal-Kombat-Trailer-Will-Blow-You-Away]? In coming a week before E3, was this something to get us hyped up for the announcement of a new, brutal
Mortal Kombat game?
According to actress Jeri Ryan - perhaps best known to nerds as spandex-clad Borg hottie Seven of Nine on
Star Trek: Voyager - who appeared in the clip as agent Sonya Blade, it's neither of those things. Speaking via her Twitter account [http://twitter.com/JeriLRyan], Ryan explained that it had essentially been a movie pitch - a short clip that a director friend of hers had put together to sell Warner Bros. on his vision for the franchise reboot.
Quoth Ryan, Tweets [http://twitter.com/JeriLRyan/status/15751686472]: "Okay, so...
Mortal Kombat. It's not a game trailer. Actually was made for the director to sell WB on his vision for a reimagined
MK film. More
MK FAQs: I did it as a favor to a friend. No idea yet what WB's reaction to it was. And I'm not sure how you can contact WB [...] to push them to make it. But you guys are resourceful...! ;-)"

You heard the lady, everybody. If you want to see this become a reality, pick up the phone and get Warner Bros. on the line
right now.
