If you have a movie that’s adapting the Mortal Kombat video game, it better be jam packed with action, right? Director Simon McQuoid promises an “unapologetically brutal” film in a new interview with Total Film.
McQuoid revealed:
“There’s a lot of fighting in the film. Some fights are big, some are small, but my main goal was to make the fights mean something. I wanted the fights to look and feel like they didn’t just sort of pop out of the story and then come back in. I didn’t want anything generic. I didn’t want anything that you could see in any action movie. The stunt team on this were just amazing, and they designed some pretty fucking incredible things.”
McQuoid then continued:
“It’s unapologetically brutal. We spent a lot of time talking about blood and what it looks like, but we just wanted to do it in a smart way. We have to make it mean something and we have to make you care. When we need to push it to 10 we definitely pushed it to 10, so there was no one shying away from that. And there’s one moment I saw today that had me leaping for joy. It’s like Christmas morning every day in the editing suite at the moment – I go in and the effects company have revved everything up… I just can’t wait for you all to see it.”
