The live-action Mortal Kombat trailer (above) was the director's pitch to Warner Bros. on how he would like to reboot the franchise -- but how did he actually make it? A Collider interview with director Kevin Tancharoen sheds some light on the motivations, methods, and how at least one person involved in the short is already officially signed on for the next feature film.
You might not know Tancharoen's name, and he seems like the last person to direct a dark Mortal Kombat film. His previous credits include dancing in You Got Served, directing music specials for Britney Spears and the Pussycat Dolls, and the feature film Fame in 2009. "It got to a point where we just kept talking about it," he said, "and I just had to do it. It took over a two-month span of time. I shot this whole thing in two days on two Red cameras that were donated to me with a group of friends who all believed in the cause." He says all the shooting took place in April, but the post and editing alone took two months, and effects specialists donated their time.
