There's a new Mortal Kombat movie in the works, one that will not only film in South Australia but have its post-production work done there too. Writer Greg Russo, who's also working on a Resident Evil movie reboot has taken to Twitter to note that at this stage the Mortal Kombat film will be rated R and will feature Fatalities.

Now, the U.S. R-rating could mean an MA-15+ rating for the Australian release - but with Mortal Kombat 11 being given a hard R-18+ rating due to the violence seen in the many fatalities, it could definitely be the case here too.

Since it's already been stated by other members of the team, I'm gonna put this one to bed. MK WILL be R-Rated and for the first time EVER, FATALITIES will FINALLY be on the big screen (and no I'm not gonna say which ones) You'll just have to wait for the movie & see!!! ;) pic.twitter.com/aVTewH4t28

The Mortal Kombat movie project is moving pretty steadily too, as actor and martial artist Joe Taslim (The Raid) has been cast as Sub-Zero. And when it comes to Fatalities, Sub-Zero's usual setup of freezing someone and then having them break apart is something we can definitely see popping up in the movie.
