Actress Jeri Ryan, the actress portraying Sonya Blade in the video, has confirmed via Twitter that this is a short film created by a director to sell Warner Bros. on his Mortal Kombat pitch. "It's not a game trailer. Actually was made for the director to sell WB on his vision for a reimagined MK film," Ryan says on her Twitter page, adding " I did it as a favor to a friend. No idea yet what WB's reaction to it was.".

The actors themselves have declared that this movie was directed as a pitch to the studios.

Mortal Kombat: Rebirth is a 2010 action short film directed by Kevin Tancharoen with fight choreography by Larnell Stovall. Based on the Mortal Kombat series of fighting games, the short-film "actually was made by the director to sell WB on his vision for a reimagined MK film."[1]

Initially appearing on YouTube, the video was received with confusion by websites such as IGN and 1UP.com, both of which were uncertain if the video was a viral marketing ploy to promote either a new film or a video game. Contradicting reports came from the actors involved, with White's representatives believing it was an advertisement for an upcoming Mortal Kombat game,[7] while Ryan admitted her appearance was as a favor to a friend and described the video as a pitch for a film.[8] Tancharoen made the movie for $7,500.[2]

I'm afraid that accordin' to the trailer, it's gonna be somethin' Uwe Boll's style

If that trailer is hinting at how the movie will be, it'll be one of the worst movies ever. They completely disregard EVERYTHING about each character's real bio, let alone not taking advantage of utilizing all the different realms...because when I think mortal kombat I think of a police station

I think they have to disregard the character bios if they want to reboot the series, or make a reasonably well-received film. The back stories are too absurd; finding real-world equivalents for each character can be inventive and ground the story in a degree of reality that the other films couldn't dream of.

I hope it happens.

It'll probably work best as a satire of our postmodernist obsession with dark, realistic remakes.

Unfortunately it won't be, which is why it'll most likely suck.

The post was created before this faux trailer hit the web, so the title is fine. The thing we've seen isn't an actual movie; no actual movie even exists yet, or has been approved. The first title was a rumor, and the trailer is just a sort of proof-of-concept to try to gain funding.
