In an interview with IGN James WAN talked about how work is progressing on a new version of the film adaptation of the cult video game:We are still working on the film. With this particular story I have linked a lot of pleasant memories. And not only with game but also with the released movies. Our main goal is to make things right. I don’t want to rush. We are currently looking for the right direction for our project. I think it’s much better than shoot everything in haste and create something that others do not like. I love the characters of the story. I think they are very bright. Mortal Kombat as good as the film “enter the dragon”. This is a fantasy version of “enter the dragon”. I think this world with unique characters would be very interesting to develop. The game takes place in a huge mysterious world that exists in another dimension adjacent to ours. There is something to work with and where to develop the story”.
