　　Now Playing: Mortal Kombat Movie Side By Side Comparison (2021 vs 1995)

　　Mortal Kombat will be released in theaters and hit HBO Max on April 16, where it will stay for a month before moving to regular on demand platforms. The movie is directed by Simon McQuoid and stars Joe Taslim as Sub-Zero, Josh Lawson as Kano, Sisi Stringer as Mileena, Max Huang as Kung Lao, Lewis Tan as Cole Young, and Chin Han as Shang Tsung. Check out GameSpot's Mortal Kombat trailer breakdown here.

　　This is the third Mortal Kombat movie. The first was released in 1995 and was directed by Paul W.S. Anderson, who would go on to make the Resident Evil series. The movie made more than $120 million worldwide, but its 1997 sequel, Annihilation, was a disappointment by comparison with only $51 million. An internet video series called Mortal Kombat Legacy ran from 2011-2013, and there have been two animated movies.

　　In related news, it was announced this week that the highly-anticipated TV adaptation of the Halo game series will premiere on ViacomCBS's new streaming platform Paramount+, rather than Showtime. The first footage from the series was also shown to investors, but unfortunately has not been made public yet.
