Director Kevin Tancharoen To Take On Mortal Kombat Reboot

Kevin Tancharoen may be the director behind the Mortal Kombat: Legacy web series but now he’ll be adapting the video game to the big screen. From The Hollywood Reporter: “Tancharoen…who directed the 2009 remake of Fame and more recently the Glee concert movie, directed a short film Mortal Kombat: Rebirth as a proof of concept for a Kombat movie he tried to pitch…The short was viewed more than 10 million times on YouTube, and although no movie deal materialized, he was asked to direct the 10-episode web series, which debuted in April, attracting more than 50 million unique visitors. Off that success, Warners and New Line execs thought it was time to try to revisit a big-screen effort.”
