Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Mortal Kombat: Rebirth (2010)

Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.

  • Kevin Tancharoen made the short for about $7,500, shooting it over two days in April 2010 with borrowed cameras and taking two months to produce everything.
  • Nobody was ever meant to see it. Tancharoen shot the short purely as a pitch to Warner Bros. for his reimagined Mortal Kombat, then made it public on YouTube by accident.
  • Even the cast did not agree on what they had made: Michael Jai White's representatives said he believed the shoot was an advertisement for the coming 2011 Mortal Kombat game, while Jeri Ryan said she appeared as a favour to a friend and called it a pitch for a film.
