Big Names, Jeri Ryan, Michael Jai White, Sign on to Mortal Kombat Live Action Web Series

Warner Premiere is calling it a ’digital new media series,’ which basically means, a web series. Jeri Ryan Seven of Nine from Star Trek: Voyager will be Sonja Blade while Michael Jai White will take on Jax and  Darren Shahlavi will be “Kano.”      

Kevin Tancharoen who directed and produced the popular, unofficial “Mortal Kombat: Rebirth” fan short that garnered over 10 million views worldwide, is bringing the same immersive directing style to this live-action digital new media series.  Fans will be able to delve deep into the history of the warriors they know and love including “Sub-Zero” and “Scorpion.” Shooting for “Mortal Kombat” is currently underway in Vancouver.

Written by Kevin Tancharoen, Aaron Helbing  and Todd Helbing, and available online this spring from Warner Bros. Digital Distribution, the “Mortal Kombat” digital new media series is an anthology of multiple live action shorts.  Each episode will provide never-before-revealed insights into characters featured in the upcoming video game as well as the game’s universe.
