The producer of Mortal Kombat says that the film’s violence is more like ‘Bambi’ than sports.

Recent trailer For the upcoming film adaptation of mortal Kombat Looks at the movie Extremely Violent. In one scene, mortal Kombat Icon Sub-Zero cuts an opponent’s hand with a sword, freezes the resulting blood splatter into a dagger, and uses that blood dagger to stab his enemy. But in an interview this week, producer Todd Garner revealed The Reporter Door Because the film’s violence is not nearly at the top because it is in the classic game series.

“Compared to sports, we’re like Bambi,” Garner says. “We are more like a G-rated film than a game. The game is incredibly contrived in terms of violence, and the Motion Picture Association of America has never allowed us to commit so much violence. “

Fights in mortal Kombat Games are brutal, with blood often appearing after each punch, kick, throw, or weapon slice. And the series is famous for its fatality finishing moves, where the characters kill their opponents in a horrific manner. (They are often involved in some sort of disintegration.) Violence is part of the game play, and it is something that is only at its peak as the series progresses – it can also be so bad Influenced members of the development team. mortal Kombat According to the film Garner, however, is not trying violence for violence.

“We’re trying to make a film where you care about people, it’s the foundation, there’s a realistic tone to it, and the violence comes from the rules of the world that have been established, but you’re not just trying Let’s make torture porn, “he says.” You’re trying to do something that’s loyal to Ip, but comes from an inspired and grounded place that is inspired by real characters who feel they are Live the real life by the moment. “

In a separate interview, director Simon McQuid talked about how he wanted to do the series’ rights by incorporating violence, but also how it allowed him to make a more authentic film. “I just wanted to mortal Kombat Justice, ”says McQuoid. “It was about studying and looking at fundamental materials mortal Kombat. What are the major strands of DNA that make it.

“One of them is, obviously, kind of cruelty [of the series], “He says.” And what I liked about the blood aspect of that is that we can be authentic. We didn’t have to control fights. “For example, if someone had a knife through the head “Blood would probably burst backwards if it was killed,” McCoid notes.

McQuoid is not just fictitiously saying. I’ve watched the first 13 minutes of the film, which includes a large, blade-filled fight scene. One of its most memorable moments is a knife that has fallen on the upper part of one’s head, and yes, blood oozes from the wound.

But as long as the film can be completely violent, “everyone knows mortal Kombat Known for that and was fine to do so, ”says McQuaid. “It wasn’t a great surprise. It’s not like this is Jane Austen’s novel that we’re making super violent. It’s not going to be good.” “Violence to this property” matters, “he says.” Allowed to be authentic in a stylistic approach and [it was] What is right for this mortal Kombat“
