Remember that cool, gritty, serious fan-film series about Mortal Kombat? I do, and so do the people who are making it!

That trailer starts out amazing, but goes off the rails a little when the super-powers and costumes come in. Then it gets better again in the end. They’ve definitely got a great look going. I hope they don’t lose themselves too much in the crazy stuff. I’m a big fan of this whole project, and I want to see it be awesome. The new episodes start on Sept. 26.

No word yet on whether or not Smoke is in the show. He’s my favorite kombatant. So I’ve got my fingers crossed!
