Said he'd been thinking about a Mortal Kombat reboot for some time, and when the technology became available to him, he felt the time was right to make a short film. Tancharoen wrote and directed the film over a weekend without any studio involvement. With help from friends and colleagues and a $7,500 budget, the film was completed in two months.

Before submitting the film to, Tancharoen intended to privately upload the short to YouTube to gauge the response of a colleague. He accidentally made it available to the general public, who quickly voiced an overwhelmingly positive response. While the public release may have been a mistake, Tancharoen was glad it happened the way he did.

He saw the positive response coming from fans and realized the power of social networking in helping small-time directors gain a following to take to film studio executives. Armed with the favorable fan reception, Tancharoen met with executives, who stopped short of a major motion picture, but agreed to fund a based on the Mortal Kombat franchise. The final step was convincing, co-creator of the franchise and executive producer at, who had just produced the latest video game installment, to agree to the series. Boon was impressed with Mortal Kombat: Rebirth, but not entirely sold on Tancharoen's re-imagined vision.

After he met with Tancharoen, Boon was surprised by his enthusiasm for the franchise and quickly offered his support. Development [ ] Season 1 development [ ] Mortal Kombat: Legacy is produced by Digital Distribution, and.

Tancharoen, Lance Sloane and Tim Carter serve as producers. It consists of nine 8-12 minute episodes, each written by Tancharoen and writers Todd Helbing and Aaron Helbing, with Tancharoen directing. Larnell Stovall, who worked with Tancharoen on Rebirth, is the stunt coordinator.

The series was filmed in Vancouver in February and March, with Tancharoen tweeting daily updates of their progress. Post-production began in March and continued alongside release. Visual effects were handled by Goldtooth Creative Agency. When Tancharoen made Mortal Kombat: Rebirth in 2010, he took the traditional Mortal Kombat story, which was for 20 years based in a supernatural world, and re-told it based on real-world scenarios. The characters and the basic plot of a tournament remained, but most mystical elements like alternate realms, sorcery, and the backstories of characters such as Baraka and Reptile were adjusted to fit the new realistic universe. This new take on the franchise is what prompted Ed Boon to remark that Rebirth 'probably crosses the line' in terms of re-imagining. Was receptive to the new style.

Despite the changes, Tancharoen promised fans the web series would be true to the franchise, including the mystical and supernatural elements famous to Mortal Kombat. The small budget forced some stories to be set in a realistic world to avoid the high costs of creating a fantasy world with visual effects. Of Boon's involvement, Tancharoen said he was instrumental in this show adhering to the canon of the series, but that he allowed Tancharoen to include his own ideas. The first two episodes are based mostly in a true-to-life universe.

Episode three follows suit, but ends with the first hint of supernatural themes when Shang Tsung appears to freeze time to converse with Johnny Cage. Episodes 4 and 5 reveal the most in the issue of Tancharoen's stylistic approach to the real-world/mysticism debate.

Baraka is portrayed true to his original backstory from the video games, and ideas such as sorcery and multiple realms are fleshed out. Criticism has been leveled at the production team for abandoning the original real-world approach of Rebirth for Legacy, despite Tancharoen continuously stating that the supernatural elements of Mortal Kombat would be included in the series. Tancharoen said that some stories could be told in his realistic Rebirth approach but that other stories were too grounded in the supernatural to be converted to a real-world portrayal. The release of Episode 6 includes a note from Tancharoen himself, written to the fans before the episode begins: 'The following episode represents my different take on the Mortal Kombat universe. I think it combines the perfect amount of gritty realism mixed with a hint of mysticism. I hope you guys enjoy it.' Season 2 development [ ] On July 15, 2012, revealed an exclusive video made by Tancharoen directed at fans announcing Season 2, adding that all of the scripts were complete.

Digital Distribution. Bandito Brothers replaced Goldtooth Creative to handle visual effects. The production concluded in December 2012. Season 3 development [ ] At 2013, Tancharoen noted that Ryan would not be returning as Sonya for the second season due to her commitment to, but had hoped to bring her back for the third, in which was also slated to appear after Tancharoen had been unable to accommodate the character in the second season because of budget limitations. Tancharoen departed the series in October 2013 due to the lack of progress on the reboot film.

However, on March 27, 2014, he told Nerd Reactor that both he and Warner Bros are still planning season 3 with him directing. On January 13, 2015, martial arts trainer and stunt coordinator Garrett Warren confirmed his involvement in the third season of Mortal Kombat Legacy, without revealing his role.

Release [ ] On April 7, 2011, a scene from the series was released on Machinima's YouTube channel as a teaser trailer. The short clip revealed the title of the series to be Mortal Kombat: Legacy.

On April 11, 2011, the first official trailer debuted. It comprised clips from all nine episodes of the series, confirming characters Sub-Zero, Sektor, and Cyrax, and revealed the story to concern the motivations of several characters before the beginning of the tournament portrayed in the first Mortal Kombat video game.

Tancharoen confirmed the first episode's premiere to occur before the release of the latest installment of the video game. On April 11, 2011, the first full episode of the series was released on Machinima.com and on YouTube, with episode 2 airing one day before the video game's release. After episode 2 was released, it was quickly pulled down and replaced with a censored version that eliminated some of the more gratuitous violence and imagery. Episode 3 was released beginning with the censored version, muting profanities.

On April 29, both episodes were released in their uncensored format. Episode 4 was released without censorship. Tancharoen later explained that the censorship was required by YouTube after an overwhelming amount of inappropriate 'flags'. An agreement was reached between the studio and YouTube that any episodes requiring censorship will be released with offending material removed, with the uncensored versions released several days later requiring age confirmation.

In several tweets in June 2011, Tancharoen stated that the final episode would not be released along the usual pattern of midnight Tuesday morning, but will premiere some time during the 2011 Comic Con event to be held between July 21–24, 2011.

The cast and crew of Season 2 featured in a panel at the 2013 Comic-Con in San Diego, and all season 2 episodes were released simultaneously on September 26, 2013.

DVD and Blu-ray [ ] Tancharoen revealed plans for an uncensored and release. On August 10, 2011, Warner Premiere revealed a release date of November 8, with no mention of a DVD release date. Special features will include 'Mortal Kombat Legacy: Fights', a feature exploring how fatalities and extreme violence aid in Mortal Kombat storytelling, 'Mortal Kombat Legacy: Fan Made', a feature with Tancharoen explaining his interest in the franchise, as well as documentaries 'Mortal Kombat Legacy: Expanding the Netherrealm', 'Mortal Kombat: Mysticism', and 'Mortal Kombat: Gear', covering the franchise universe, the powers of its characters, and the weapons they use, respectively. Season 2 was released on October 14, 2014. Reception [ ] Reviews of Mortal Kombat Legacy were generally positive.

The first episode became YouTube's most viewed video for that week, accumulating 5.5 million views, whereas Tancharoen's short, also considered a success, received only 2.1 million in total on the official account. President of Warner Bros.

Digital Distribution, Thomas Gewecke, expressed excitement about the first episode and its prospects for future adaptations, saying, 'it's an incredibly powerful, strong and well done piece of filmmaking. It's a reinterpretation of the franchise in live-action form that we'd like to explore as different concepts and see what approach works best.' Episode two aired with considerably less attention, possessing only a quarter of views when compared with the first episode.

The release of the fifth episode garnered only 424,000 views in the first 24 hours. One day after the release of episode five, the total views for the entire series to date surpassed 30,000,000. IGN described Legacy as the 'most elegantly produced web series', giving particular mention to episode one for 'effective action sequences and some great cinematography'.

It looked favorably upon episode 4 for the first use of 'extraordinarily effective' animation and 'poetic' voice-over narration, the removal of censorship, the 'fascinating character lore and dazzling fantasy [and] a beautifully crafted land of Outworld'. Episode five was praised for the score, the attention paid to the character development and story, the editing and the 'quite great' visual effects. Praised the animation style used in episode four, saying Mileena's emerging heritage and the Tarkatan invasion were the episode's best parts. Praised the third episode in the series for its shift towards character development, while not at the expense of the action sequences set forth in the first two episodes. It 'allowed the series to broaden its horizons a bit' by creating a likable Johnny Cage, commenting, he 'finally lets loose and makes you appreciate the character in a whole new way'.

Also joined in the praise of the series' devotion to character development upon the release of Raiden's episode. They stated that while the martial arts took a backseat, the drama of Raiden's 'Christlike' story was well executed, giving audiences a reason to identify with his character in a way the franchise has never been able to do. Called the Scorpion and Sub-Zero-themed episode 7 'one of the best episodes' in the series, lending an emotional weight to the most famous tale in the franchise. The series has also received its fair share of criticism, led by the very same agencies who have praised it. CraveOnline was not pleased with the new Johnny Cage, rating the episode a 4 out of 10, claiming Mullins' Johnny Cage 'doesn't quite have the right look, a good delivery or impressive martial arts moves'.

IGN noted of episode one that the 'production values don't seem quite as tight and concise as [ Rebirth]' in addition to light story and 'flat' editing and performances. By far the most criticized have been episodes four and five for their shift away from the realistic style of Rebirth and the first few episodes, to the 'traditional mythology well known to longtime Kombat fans'. Tancharoen also acknowledged the audience split that the 'Kitana & Mileena' episodes created, stating that theirs was a story that could not be told in a realistic environment, and that Warner Bros. 'wanted to make sure this web series tied into some of the story lines of the Mortal Kombat canon.' Unlike episode four, IGN criticized the use of animation this time, stating it cost the episode its energy and created a glut of continuity errors. Cheaper make-up, costume effects, and set design due to budgetary constraints, and a short running time were among the other criticisms.

Upon the release of the Raiden-themed episode six, suggested that Tancharoen was forced to steer episodes four and five into the traditional Mortal Kombat mystique by Warner Bros. To test how fans would react. Episode six, according to the reviewer, was the studio allowing Tancharoen to return to his own style, finally delivering 'cinematic greatness' and 'the best [episode] he's done so far. Possibly even better than the original Mortal Kombat: Rebirth'. Bemoaned the series' expectation that its viewers be knowledgeable about the franchise's history, explaining that without previous knowledge of the games, the viewer is left with too many questions that may never be answered. Feature film project [ ] On September 29, 2011, revealed that New Line has hired Tancharoen to direct a new feature-length movie based on the franchise.

With a budget initially estimated by Warner Bros. Head of digital production Lance Sloane at between 40-50 million dollars, the film will be written by Oren Uziel, who wrote Rebirth, but was not involved in Legacy. No actors or crew have been confirmed and the only known story details state that the film will not be an extension of the game, nor of Legacy. Tancharoen revealed that the film will introduce a new character to the franchise that he hopes will be incorporated into the new game.

New Line president Toby Emmerich said that the success of the video games combined with Tancharoen's vision means, 'You don't have to squint too hard to see how it might make a good movie', while Tancharoen says discussions have only concerned an R-rating, with darker, more brutal martial arts. After discussions at the 2011 Comic-Con with Uziel and Mortal Kombat creator Ed Boon, Tancharoen said to expect an origin story in the style of Rebirth and Legacy as opposed to the traditional Mortal Kombat mythology.

He said, 'I've always been a fan of properties like where you can expand the universe in different directions. Mortal Kombat is big enough that you can allow for multiple different kinds of storytelling.' But as for its continuity with the web series, he said 'you won't have to have seen all ten episodes previously - or have played the video game - to understand the movie.' Shooting was expected to begin in March 2012. The film would have a budget up to $100 million and a release date of September 2015, coordinated with the next installment of the video game series being produced by the same studios. On December 4, 2012, Michael Jai White announced he would not be appearing in Season 2 of Legacy, but would be returning for the feature film.

On October 25, 2013, Tancharoen announced on his that he would not be directing the film. On August 7, 2015, it was reported that had signed-on to produce the film. The Film itself will not be related to Legacy. In an interview with Cinepop, actress stated that she wanted to portray Kitana when she was asked about playing a Superhero. In July 2016, Digital Spy reported rumors that the film will have Time travel and will be reprising his role as Raiden. In August 2016, Wan told IGN that he's confirmed as the producer of the film and won't rush the film but want it heading in the right direction. On November 18, 2016, Variety reports that Simon McQuoid is in talks to direct the reboot.
