Mortal Kombat Reboot voor de rechter

Afgelopen september hadden de opnames van Mortal Kombat 3 moeten beginnen maar volgens de vrienden van IMDB gaat het nog wel even duren voor ie in de bioscoop komt.

Hieronder een heel verhaal in het Engels, komt erop neer dat ze Mortal Kombat in de rechtbank gaan doen omdat een bedrijfje genaamd Threshold Entertainment niet blij is dat ze niet zijn gekend bij de nieuwe film. Gaat dus weer om centjes.

"Threshold Entertainment Inc. filed suit Tuesday in Los Angeles, claiming Warners had shut it out of production of the martial arts movie, in which it owns a licensing interest. In the early 1990s, Threshold had entered into a partnership with arcade-game developer Midway to develop "Mortal Kombat" into a variety of media, including two feature films.
The lawsuit states that Threshold and Midway entered into an additional contract in 2006 to develop a third "Kombat" movie, including script development and pre-production. But Midway filed for bankruptcy last February, and Warners successfully bid on its properties. Threshold says a federal bankruptcy court upheld its interests and licenses as a part of the sale.

The lawsuit states that Warners has "failed to work with Threshold in the development and production of the third 'Mortal Kombat' film," and has avoided communication with the Connecticut-based company, which has offices in Santa Monica. In late January, reports surfaced that a "Mortal Kombat" reboot by Warners was under way, including the hiring of a new screenwriter"
