Mortal Kombat 3 may soon start filming

Avideo game franchise is about to get a new sequel. One of the stars of the original Mortal Kombat, Christopher Lambert, says that the new film, currently in development, has an intriguing gimmick planned: inter-dimensional time travel.

Christopher Lambert was the biggest name attached to the original Mortal Kombat film, but did not return for sequel, Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, he is currently in talks to reprise his role for an upcoming third movie. This time he likes the unique idea they’re playing with for the premise. There is going to be time travel, but in a very special way. So imagine characters having a battle in the middle of London and then whoosh, you smash through a window and find yourself on the hood of a New York cab. A third Mortal Kombat movie has been in development for years, and while it’s never completely died, it’s also never seemed to gain any real momentum.

Fantastic Beasts… 2 has already been written

It’s been five years since the Harry Potter movie series concluded, and while Harry’s latest story in adulthood is currently being told on stage, Warner Bros. is aiming to expand the wizarding world on the big screen by delving into the past.

Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them is jumping back to the 1920s to follow Newt Scamander’s adventure in the US. We already knew that Fantastic Beasts is the first entry in a trilogy, but now director David Yates tells that the second movie has already penned down Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them 2 by author J.K. Rowling.

Yates further said, “We’ve done the first one, she’s written the second one, she’s got ideas for the third one. No one quite has ownership of them quite yet, in terms of having a relationship with the material, other than the relationship they’ll have with the movie when it comes out.”

The first in the franchise Fantastic Beasts will be released in theatres November 18.
