Som du måske allerede ved så er en storstilet Mortal Kombat-filmatisering undervejs, og denne gang kommer filmen til at holde sig tættere på kildematerialet ved at benytte en hård "R-Rating", som betyder at spilseriens ikoniske voldseskapader også bliver at se på det store lærred.
Nu bekræfter én af manuskriptforfatterne bag filmen, Greg Russo, i et interview med ComicBook, at filmen for alvor vil gøre sig fortjent til den R-Rating.
"And in terms of the content, yeah. I mean we're ... I think there's always a thin line, you know, you don't want to be over the top, right? With your violence and I don't know that that's really going to ... that may put people off. I'm not sure that's even necessary. So you want to be truthful, but you also you don't want to be so ridiculous and gratuitous that you may turn people off in the wrong way. So I would just say that it's going to be faithful to the games, but yeah. And it's going to earn it's R rating, I guess I'll say that."
Russo har desuden bekræftet at der kommer til at være Fatalities i filmen. Den ankommer i biograferne d. 5 marts 2021.
