The New Mortal Kombat Movie Has A Director

You might have heard there's a new Mortal Kombat movie in the works. Of course, lots of projects are "in the works" before getting canned, but the prospect of a new, high-budget Mortal Kombat movie actually hitting theaters is now all the more likely, as the film has found a director.

As Variety reports, Simon McQuoid is currently in talks to direct the film, which James Wan (the director of the first Saw movie) is producing, among others. You may know McQuoid from the PlayStation "Michael" commercial he directed a few years ago, which featured a number of prominent PlayStation characters and revolved around the idea of the worlds we imagine when we play. You can watch that commercial here.
