Welcome to yet another new series here at The Flickcast. This time around we’re calling it Trailer Time. No, it won’t feature pics or vids of cool trailers being pulled behind trucks or vans. Although, that might be fun too.

Instead, we’re featuring the usual kinds of trailers we discuss here and on the podcast. Movies, television shows, games and things we’re interested in and potentially excited for. 

First up is the trailer for the New Line / Warner Bros. refresh of Mortal Kombat. Which, of course, is based on the video game of the same name. 

It’s violent and people kick a lot of ass, as you’d expect from a trailer from a movies based on a video game that’s violent and people kick a lot of ass. But seeing it in a movie, instead of a game, is a bit different. It is the “Red Band” trailer, after all. 

So, we’re gonna put the trailer after the break to protect our more “sensitive” readers and viewers. Sure, you can just click through to watch, but we hope you do so responsibly. 

Mortal Kombat drops in theaters and on HBO Max April 16th. Let us know what you think about this trailer and be sure to check back for more cool trailers for movies, television shows, games and more!

Over the weekend, Midway released a trailer for the Mortal Kombat reboot. Unfortunately it is not tied to the much darker and more violent minimovie that has been floating around online.  Rumors surrounding this mini had it pegged as the newest reboot to the series but writers of the third Mortal Kombat film have denied this.

As mentioned in our E3 preview, the rebooted Mortal Kombat will have a presence on the show floor. As you will see below, the game will feature a retro look over much improved graphics. It almost looks as though the events of Mortal Kombat II and Mortal Kombat 3, as well as the characters, will be combined for Mortal Kombat.

Favorites Johnny Cage, Sub-Zero and Reptile have all returned while classics like Liu Kang, Scorpion and Sonya are all notably absent from the trailer. Old school levels like the Deadpool and the Pit II also make their return, hopefully with their respective fatalities as well. New to the series will be tag team fighting mode where four players enter Kombat together, switching back and forth and performing double team maneuvers. Midway has already boasted the game will feature the most brutal fatalities of any Mortal Kombat yet. With the preview of Kung Lao’s new fatality, we are inclined to agree.

Take a peek at the reboot trailer for Mortal Kombat after the jump and keep it here all week long for your up to date information on all things E3.
