It’s a good time to be a Mortal Kombat fan. The video game has officially gone gold (that means it’s gotten the green light for mass distribution), and the stellar looking Kevin Tancharoen web series has officially set its premiere date!

Mark your calendars, kids, because on Tuesday, April 12, the good folks over at the Machinima Live Stream (link below) are hosting a very special Mortal Kombat event from 12pm-4pm.

Throughout the stream they will be playing the new Mortal Kombat game exclusively with Sark, Hutch, and web series director Kevin Tancharoen. After they’ve knocked the hell out of each other, the event will conclude with the very first episode of the “Mortal Kombat” web series!!

Based on the iconic gaming franchise, Jeri Ryan, (“Star Trek: Voyager”) will reprise her role as the headstrong “Lieutenant Sonya Blade” from the unofficial fan short. She is joined by Michael Jai White (Spawn, Kill Bill, The Dark Knight) as “Major Jackson ‘Jax’ Briggs” and Darren Shahlavi (300) as the sly and cunning “Kano.”

Kevin Tancharoen, who directed and produced the popular unofficial “Mortal Kombat: Rebirth” fan short (see below) that garnered over 10 million views worldwide, is bringing the same immersive directing style to this live-action digital new media series. Fans will be able to delve deep into the history of the warriors they know and love including “Sub-Zero” and “Scorpion.”
