I totally see where you're coming from. To me, it's not truely "Mortal Kombat" if they don't include some other-worldly characters. I wouldn't mind if that element is played down a bit in the first movie, as the first tournament took place on Earth. But it would be difficult for me to fully accept a "Mortal Kombat" movie that didn't have that element at all.
To be fair though, as far as the actors go, we have no guarantee that even if Warner Bros. were to pick this up as a full length movie, that they'd still cast the same actors from this "pitch" film.
While I'm not really a fan of the hyper realistic Dark Kinight-ification of the characters in here, I really like the tone of this short. If they could keep the dark tone and just incorporate a story that was more like the traditional "Mortal Kombat" story line it would be perfect, imo.

this kind of movie would shit all over the other two they made. Not sure how they could make a movie that stays true to the mortal kombat story without it being campy. I'd rather watch a badass movie like this than another campy trash movie that plays to the fanboys. I don't know about you but I'm amped for this if they make it. Especially Scorpion. He doesn't need to be a demon to be a badass.

Well, I wouldn't want it to be anywhere near campy. The tone of this "pitch" film is perfect. Just introduce a supernatural element to it. Don't make it campy. Make it scary. Keeping Scorpion a demon could be bad ass. I would say just tone down some of the more video game-ish elements. Like Lui Kang's bicycle kick. That was one thing that should have never been put in a movie version of "Mortal Kombat." In fact, they should leave out most characters' special moves, and keep the fighting more reality-based. Although I don't know how they'd do Sub-Zero without his freezing power.
