Kevin Tancharoen envisioned his short, Mortal Kombat: Rebirth, with a Hollywood adaptation in mind. While Warner Bros. didn’t quite see it his way, they did fund what eventually became known as the first season of Mortal Kombat: Legacy. The highly successful web series blends the supernatural with a realistic re-imagining of the Mortal Kombat franchise. And we’ve got the first look at season two!
The second season of Mortal Kombat: Legacy started filming back in December and nobody has seen a thing, but thanks to Ian Anthony Dale, who plays Scorpion in both Legacy and Rebirth, we have our first look at the cast in full costume. Check out all your nerd dreams coming true after the jump.

With Thanksgiving this week, our thoughts will turn to the gift getting holidays soon enough. Yes, all day everyday, it’ll be all we think of. (You know it’s true!)
The Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim is no exception, and fresh from the Bastards’ e-mail inbox comes a reminder that the network has a pair of holiday specials coming up that you might find interesting. Here’s the press release:
Adult Swim stuffs your stocking with two holiday specials this December from NTSF:SD:SUV:: and Robot Chicken.
Thursday, December 6 at 12:15 a.m. (ET, PT): NTSF:SD:SUV:: – “Christmas Activity” – While celebrating Christmas together at Kove’s house, the team is attacked by the evil Alaskan Santa Claus.
Sunday, December 9 at midnight (ET, PT): Robot Chicken Holiday Special – “Robot Chicken’s ATM Christmas Special” – The Robot Chicken Christmas Special has Santa nearly missing Christmas; Kano from Mortal Kombat shares the holidays with Mrs. Cage; Justin Bieber’s new song is bound to be a Christmas hit; The writers give G.I. Joe a very special Christmas.
Sounds like good watching. To set the mood, let’s revisit Robot Chicken’s hilarious opening sequence from last year’s Christmas special, an especially sadistic mash-up of Santa Claus and James Bond.

If you were around in the mid-90s, you may remember the birth of horrible video game films. One in particular, Mortal Kombat, managed to upset the stomach while at the same time spawning several sequels. In order to erase the crimes of the past, the Mortal Kombat franchise will see an update and the numbers on the budget have just come in.
Kevin Tancharoen, the man with the plan, will get a decent-sized pile of cash, to the tune of $40 or $50 million. This is just the starting budget too, so if the powers-that-be like what Tancharoen puts together, he might see an increase in his funding. Tancharoen is known by many as the creator of the Mortal Kombat: Legacy web series, a take on the franchise that is unique in its vision. Unique enough to warrant a briefcase full of C-notes to make a movie, anyways.
It may end up pretty, at the very least, but whether it can avoid becoming the train wreck that the majority of other Mortal Kombat projects are remains to be seen.
