Mortal Kombat: Rebirth to spark 10 part web series

So you all remember the badass, but mysterious and confusing, trailer-like thing that came out this past summer called Mortal Kombat: Rebirth, right? Well if not it's posted below to refresh your memory. The gritty re imagining of the Mortal Kombat world accidentally leaked on to Youtube in June and sparked the interested of many fans who were met with little explanation. Well, unfortunately it's not a precursor for a new Mortal Kombat franchise on the big screen, but it is the beginning of a 10-part web series directed by Kevin Tancharoen expected to test your might sometime soon as shooting begins in this month.



According to this quote from Joystiq Tancharoen didn't even intend to leak the initial segment of the series.

"It was still in its rough phase, but I couldn't send a 2GB file over email, so my friend said I could create a private page on YouTube and sent it to him to review," Tancharoen recalls. "It turns out it wasn't that private." 

 Another familiar franchise from the days of VCR's and MC Hammer has hit Youtube as well. This fan made short based on Raphael from The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT to you heroes in half shells)  hit the tube recently and it is pretty slick. Check out 'Fight the Foot' below.
