Today, Warner Bros. announced that its Warner Premiere digital production label will be making a series of shorts based on Mortal Kombat: Rebirth starting next month. Directed by Tancharoen, the series will "take gamers deep into the history of warriors they know and love such as Scorpion, Johnny Cage, and Liu Kang." It begins filming in Vancouver in February and will be distributed via "online digital retailers" in the spring.

As for casting, Warner Bros. said that "additional details would be revealed in the coming weeks." However, an unconfirmed report on horror-film blog Bloody Disgusting says White will reprise his role as Briggs in the series.

I'm sorry, but if this is going to be based off of the Rebirth trailer then the chances of this being good are slim. While Mortal Kombat is about beings entering a tournament and fighting to the death, it is not about criminals and assassins that have illnesses, birth defects, whatever the hell you want to call them entering said deathmatch tournament. They are supposed to be from Outworld, which to my knowledge was not mentioned in the Rebirth trailer. Outworld, is the whole reason the tournament even exists because Shao Khan. the emperor of Outworld, is trying to take over Earthrealm. The tournament was created so that the best fighters of Earthrealm and Outworld would fight to determine the fate of Earthrealm. Even Mortal Kombat: Conquest stuck to this formula.

Now, is there a chance that this will not suck? Probably, but we'll see.
