Premier Of South Australia Announces A New Mortal Kombat Movie Is Entering Pre-Production
Yesterday, Steven Marshall, the Premier of South Australia and a man not prone to making announcements related to video games, made a pretty big announcement related to video games. The Premier said that Warner Bros. long awaited Mortal Kombat film, seemingly doomed to development hell for ages, has finally begun pre-production in Australia.
The Premier made the announcement as a way of showcasing how many jobs the movie would bring to the country as well as dollars to the economy:
SA will be the stage for @newlinecinema's highly anticipated action film, Mortal Kombat.

The film will be shot in Adelaide, utilising our world-class crews & acting talent, with postproduction in our internationally acclaimed VFX and post-production facilities. #SAJobs pic.twitter.com/QVrBSYrF3V
Premier announces action film “Mortel Kombat” will be the largest movie ever filmed and produced in SA. Expected to create 580 jobs and inject 70mil into the economy. Pre-production will begin this month @abcadelaide pic.twitter.com/mpMOUR2gvs

This means that the movie itself is still a long way away but that producers are actually attached to the product and it's moving along toward production.
