the popular ultra-violent video game series, this film follows a fighter named Cole,
who must team up with Earth’s greatest fighters against an invading dimension
known as Outworld. The majority of the cast are lesser-known, but qualified
actors. Because this film will not shy away from the crazy violence of the games, it
will have a hard “R” rating. Fans of the game will be in for quite the violent treat.

It’s comforting to see studios making an effort to produce new films after last year,
