Filmed entirely in South Australia, from New Line Cinema comes the explosive new cinematic adventure “Mortal Kombat,” inspired by the blockbuster video game franchise.

The film is helmed by award-winning Australian commercial filmmaker Simon McQuoid, marking his feature directorial debut, and produced by James Wan (“The Conjuring” universe films, “Aquaman,”), Todd Garner (“Into the Storm,” “Tag”), and E. Bennett Walsh (“Men in Black: International,” “The Amazing Spider-Man 2”). In February, Warner Bros. Pictures debuted the first trailer for Mortal Kombat with such hype that it now has the honour of being the most watched red band trailer of all time.
