Why i think the Reboot Mortal kombat film is heading for a flop?

 

Written by Movie Knights

Mortal kombat started way back in 1993 with a arcade game, that grow in to one of the biggest frachines in gaming history that produce three films one of which was animated. with the success of 1995 mortal kombat it show the potential the movie franchise had until its sequel destroy any hope with  Mortal kombat annihilation.

The game franchise has survived for years especial with it Lastest Mortal kombat 11 with new character such as Terminator, Spawn, Xenomorph, robocop, now Rambo joining the franchise of bloody carnage.
Since 2018 their was word of a reboot film that was coming, but their was no confirmation or word on the film, until 2019 it was confirmed a mortal kombat reboot was on its way. 

It was meant to be a release date in 2020 but dur to virus situation its was delayed for march 2021, few days ago it was reported that the reboot has been push forward to january 15th 2021, which is great new as we get to see it early if nothing esle goes wrong. 

But here why i feel this film is gonna flop.

Accord to report that finished filming some time in january 2020, they were in the process of Editing the film. We were supposed to have been expecting a Trailer in sumer 2020 but the virus hit which is understandable, but the lock down has been lifted cinema have reopened, well some have but alot remain close but the Main issue i feel this film will flop is the lack of advertisement on this film. 

You can't just expect a film to be successful by just release a film without trailers, no one's gonna know the film is out or has been released, this is the same thing that happen with the outstanding reboot of Dredd that flop purely on the fact of no advertisement and no one knew it was out. 

I feel the same way is coming for this Reboot of Mortal kombat, its now coming to the end of October, the film is released in january, its only got two months to produce a trailer, still has produced one date or update on realising the trailer date so what going on? 

I having a feeling this film is being poorly managed and it why we havent see a trailer, if it doesnt produce on in the next two months they release the film in january, the film will head for a flop, which will be a shame since the film has a good casting.

Roberts made a statement teasing his "terrifying vision" for the reboot, while producer Robert Kulzer revealed that the movie will be set in Raccoon City in 1998. This is what the director had to say. 

"With this movie I really wanted to go back to the original first two games and recreate the terrifying visceral experience I had when I first played them whilst at the same time telling a grounded human story about a small dying American town that feels both relatable and relevant to today’s audiences - Roberts

After a dozen games, six live action movies and hundreds of pages of fan fiction, we felt compelled to return to the year 1998, to explore the secrets hidden in the walls of the Spenser Mansion and Raccoon City - Kulzer".

This will please fan of the original have its set in the mansion itself. 

There has also been other casting for those reboot with some formula names Robbie Amell has been casted as Chris Redfield,  Tom Hopper been cast as Albert Wesker, Avan Jogia  has been casted as Leon S. Kennedy,  Neal McDonough as  William Birkin.

Robbie Amell - Chris Redfield

Avan Jogia - Leon S Kennedy

Tom Hopper as Albert Wesker

Neal McDonough as William Birkin

Good thing as well as this director Roberts' experience in atmospheric horror films, rather than action, pointing to the fact that the movie should be pretty terrifying and dark which is what fans wanted.

The Resident Evil reboot is set to be released in theaters some time in 2021, hinting that production will start soon.

Lastest News as coming in that the Batman film could be delayed until 2022, due the fact Warner Brothers wanted to bring out their film Dune in 2021, but due to complication with virus situation it resulted in film being shifted until 2021. 

The Batman which Robert pattinson star as Bruce wayne / Batman was scheduled to be released in October 2nd 2021, but due to schedule changed Dune has now been given the October 2nd place which could mean that The Batman Film could be delayed until 2022 because of this.

But due to current situation with Cinema losing money because their arnt any film being released this year, it left a big question will these films be seen on the small screen at home or will cinema be open in 2021? 

Your guess is mine.

They want to turn Freddy Krueger woke with a Tik tok theme !!!!

Witten by Movie Knights.

Yes ladies and Gentlemen you are reading this Title right, the cult classic Horror icon that said your all my children now want to be turn woke by 2020 woke culture generation. (slap the face and wake up from this nightmare).

This story comes from Bounding into to comic here the link if you want to read it:  https://boundingintocomics.com/2020/07/23/robert-englund-claims-the-next-freddy-film-should-toy-with-a-kids-sexuality-and-have-a-focus-on-the-opioid-crisis/ 

According to News Robert Englund himself reportedly said The Next Freddy Film Should Toy With A Kid’s Sexuality And Have A Focus On The Opioid Crisis. HUH WTF?

He bascial saying that the new freddy film should be based on today woke culture with stuff like Tik tok saying it would be frightening for teenage to be stalked with a concept of using phones, (Is this guy losing his marbles).

With all the woke film flopping and reboot and remark just failing why would you want to destroy a icon of horror like freddy Krueger. Not being funny if anyone in this generation thinks this is a good idea you seriously need to lock yourself up and throw away the key. Having freddy invade someone tik tok to further on take their souls is the most ridiculous thing ive hear and will not work for several reason, Freddy is a dream demon that was give ultimate power to invade a teen dream and terrorize them before killing them.

By the whole concept of freddy wasn't just about him being a Children killing serial killer that the parents killed, the main focus of freddy and why he had the power to invade the dreams in the first place was actually through sleep deprivation (which is a real medical condition in which you can die).

The Sleep Deprivation came around because studies with people that were sleep, were suffering with day dreams and illusions before slipping into a coma and bascial dying. The very condition happens when you arnt getting enough sleep you brain can function you start seeing things that you not sure your awake or dreaming, this is because you brain is bascial shutting down.

This is actually where the character of Freddy Krueger come into play, being a dream demon the only way to kill a teen was to make them fall asleep, who would do this by haunting you slowly in your dreams, giving you nightmares to the point you dont want to sleep, after a time you get sleep deprivation to where Freddy got you right where he wants you, this is what made Freddy Krueger feared and one of the most icon and recognized name in horror.

Changing freddy character to be the woke demon, possibly change His sexuallity, which im sorry being a pedophile is not a sexuality its a mental ill with the brain with immoral actions and thoughts i will not support it being called a sexuality.

This would destroy what Freddy character is, yes the story is very darker which in 2011 remark explored the dark pedophile side of the story which was extremely dark for the film, but then that was the nature of Freddy Krueger, his character was a sexual predator and serial kill of children, which is what made his character more disturbing that he was given the power to invade dreams to kill children in the sleep.

 That in itself is more frightening knowing that you arnt safe, now that might make some people uncomfortable but its a horror film, it not meant to make you comfortable it might to scare to living crap out of you, sorry turn freddy "WOKE" is not frighting at all, especial thinking of using tik tok really its would flop so hard in the cinema because no one ill wont to watch that.

Those i do agree with today's technologies and making the film darker without the woke culture being involved, give freddy and New digital playground to get at teenagers in the modern era could work if done right while still keeping the dream element of the nightmares with a darker tone, then just maybe a New freddy film might work. But if you turn Freddy woke you just destroying an iconic character just to please a monity of audience that spend more time protesting on the streets then watching these films and you alienate the general audience who hate this political woke cancer culture.

What do you think, do you agree with Robert Englund in Freddy should go woke or Do you think that these film deserve better treatment?           

AMC just made a Move to Ban Universal films from playing in their cinemas.

WOW AMC just made a Move that might have just Bankrupt them before they reopen. Its been a rough few weeks with the Corona virus closing everything down, Cinema and hollywood have had to close down putting a strain on cinema companies and movie studios..

But some Hollywood studios instead of scrapping some of there film releases have had the good idea to release there films on VOD, one including Trolls tour which was slated to be a film no one was interested in but acord to reports it set a record by making million on VOD.

But Here where it get complicated Universal studios broke a contract with AMC cinema branch because they had a contract to show Trolls world tour as the first film when it reopens. But because Trolls has actually made millions on VOD, universal as decide to release their future films on both cinema and VOD at the same time which has piss off AMC and could very well annoy other cinema branches to ban universal film as well.

Because of Universal Move to do this AMC has now Banned all universal films being shown in their theaters  / cinema. which means Halloween kills, Candy man remake Jurassic world 3 and other universal films wont be showing in AMC Cinema due to the ban.

I see alot of Film companies doing this which does kind of stop piracy a little, though that will still happen, but im not sure if this is a good move or not for Universal financially or AMC when they are on the verge of bankruptcy due to the shut down this could very happen for alot of the other cinema companies like Odeon and other branches banning universal film's. what do you think?
