I will not post the full interviews and chats here as none have been solely geared towards MK3, so I just took parts out of various interviews and transcripts that involved MK3. Excerpts are listed in chronological order. Interviews were not done by me. What? John Medlen (Ermac of MK:A) interview at MovieWeb. When? May 2006. Originally found here: Q: What are you currently working on? What’s next? A: I’m scheduled to do Mortal Kombat 3. That doesn’t have a start date. The producer Larry Kasanoff, he’s pushing for his other animation feature, it’s computer animated called Foodfight!. I think that’s the first thing on the list. And then when the right time happens, Mortal Kombat will kick in. Q: I know that you were in Mortal Kombat: Annihilation. Will you be acting in Mortal Kombat 3 or just doing stunt coordinating? A: That hasn’t been determined yet. When the time comes, depending on how much I have to deal with, as far as coordinating and if I’m going to second unit direct. That’s gonna be a very busy show because I think they’re running simultaneously, first and second units just because of the way they want to schedule it. So it’s gonna be very busy. Of course I’d love to perform, just for having a good time... so I’m hoping it happens but I’m not gonna be disappointed if it doesn’t. What? Chris Casmassa interview over at MK Outworld. When? January 2006. Originally found here: Q: First off, Threshold are taking a long time to announce any shooting dates, cast updates etc. Is there any reason for this that you are aware of? and is there any new info on the production you could tell us? A: Nothing new to tell - Hurricane Katrina set us back a few months. What? Linden Ashby Interview at TV Guide's Soaps Site. When? June 13, 2004: Q: And is it official that you're set to star in Mortal Kombat 3? A: I have been talking to the producers for the past month or so pretty intensely, and they say we are set to go. I'll be reprising my role as Johnny Cage. It's supposed to start shooting this summer. What? Linden Ashby Interview at CBS Soaps Site. When? June 13, 2004. Originally found here: Despite the aches and pains, though, Ashby isn’t about to call it quits. In fact, he recently talked with the producers of Mortal Combat about doing a third installment. "I’ll fight to save mankind. Battle evil," he chuckles. "Good will triumph… Now I just need to be ready!" What? Josh Wexler (worker at Threshold Entertainment) snippet at E3. When? May 13, 2004: (Talked to by ]{ombat) In regards to Threshold's 'legal troubles', Josh commented that 'The delay was not because of any legal troubles between Threshold and New Line, but because of Midway's change in management' (not a direct quote, but that's what he said). What? Marjean Holden (Sheeva in Mortal Kombat: Annihilation) Interview at MK Center. When? May 2, 2004. Originally found here: -Marv- You saw Robin.. maybe you know any rumors or maybe facts about upcoming third MK movie? Maybe you could give us away something? -MarjeanHolden- No news on a 3rd MK. people always ask us this question, and none of us have any idea. Including Robin. noone has said anything to him about it. What? Chris Casamassa (Scorpion in Mortal Kombat) Interview at MK Center. When? Early March 2004. Originally found here: MK Center: We heard that MK3 Movie is comming, can you tell ous Something more about it? Will you play in it ? (as Scorpion of course). Chris Casamassa: I will be SCORPION It Should start filming later this year and be in theaters 2005. Cant say more I've been sworn to secrecy. What? Robert Shaye (President of New Line Cinema) e-mail. When? February 4, 2004. Subject:RE: Mortal Kombat franchise From: "SHAYE, BOB" <*******************> Date: Wed, 04 Feb 2004 16:19:15 -0500 To: 'Anthony G Maurizio' We no longer have any subsequent rights. Good luck. Robert Shaye What? Ridley Tsui (Smoke in Mortal Kombat: Annihilation) Interview at MK Center. When? January 25, 2004. Originally found here: MK Center: Is there a third mortal kombat film in the works? Ridley Tsui: I heard they are working on MK3 at the moment. What? Drew McWeeny (Co-writer of MK3) e-mail to me. When? January 24, 2004: I have no idea if the film will be made or not. At one point, it was a priority for Threshhold Entertainment, and that was before MK:DA became a hit or MKVI was released. That said, MK:DA was a hit, and if our film resembles any of the source material in particular, it's that game. I'd say there's a good chance they're still planning to make it, especially since it sounds like they have worked out all their previous problems. When I worked on it, it went through many different
names. MK3 was always the working title we went back
to. I don't think they've decided yet what they want
to call it. What? Drew McWeeny (Co-writer of MK3) e-mail to me. When? January 21, 2004: Hey, Cory... I have to tread lightly here for contractual reasons. I can tell you that in 2001, I was contracted with my writing partner to write MORTAL KOMBAT 3. We wrote several drafts of it at that point. As I understand it, Threshhold has been dealing with legal rights issues for the two years since. Word is, they're untangling those rights now finally and plan to move forward with the film. I seriously doubt we'll be doing any further work on it at this point, and I'm not sure what script they'll finally put in front of the camera. Hope that helps some. Drew McWeeny What? Linden Ashby (Johnny Cage in Mortal Kombat) Interviewed at Soap Talk. When? May 26, 2003: Download the audio clip here (622 KB). Download the video clip here (12.8 MB) What? Josh Wexler (Threshold worker) Interview at Underground online. When? Sometime in early 2002. Originally found here: UGO: There's a third Mortal Kombat movie in the works. Are you involved in that at all? JW: Yeah, we're producing it! UGO: Can you talk about it at all? JW: Absolutely not! (laughs) I can just tell you that we're going to reinvent the fighting genre. You're going to see fights like you've never seen before. What? KungLao Forum Question and Answer Archive. When? Sometime in 2001. Originally found in MK forums, but archived at Aivar1987's site. Thanks goes to Aivar1987! -Is the script really in the works, or finished? -KL - finished. *script is complete for a while now. -Is Mortal Kombat 3 really in production, and what actors are confirmed? -KL - not in production, and not really. Talking to lots of actors, no one is officially signed. Some actors have a 3 film option, but honestly no one is attached. If I was a betting man, which I am, I would say the only actor(s) you can bet on to be in this movie is Sung Hi, Red, and maybe Lambert. *most likely to be in: Red (Jax in MK:A), Lambert (Rayden in MK: The Movie), Sung Hi Lee (Kiri in MKC) *nobody hired yet, no scenes shot -KL: "If any new characters make it to the next movie, I guarantee it'll be Kenshi." *Kenshi fans - good odds your blind soul hunter is in -quote by KL: "Since Quan-Chi was responsible for the detah of Scorpion's family, I think it would be cool if Sub-Zero and Scorpion teamed up to take on Quan-Chi. The alliance of Scorpion and Sub-Zero would be unbeatable." Next post - "In my last post I stated about Scorpion and Sub-Zero teaming up. As well as Quan Chi being the bad guy, either Scorpion or Sub-Zero could turn on each other with one of them finally dying. I have mentioned in another post that they accidentally kill eahc other, another scenario would be one to kill the other on purpose.". Was he saying how it is, or how he'd like it... Take that and other info and then, make a guess. *possible plot around diversed alliance (not another DA...;) between Sub-Zero and Scorpion? -KL: "And, you shouldn't trust a site that calls MK a sci-fi movie. I'd say because there probably won't be any automated ninjas in the movie, it's more fantasy then anything. Don't you agree, or am I getting carried away?" *most likely no robots. *it will likely be about Sub-Zero, which was hinted by KL: "Subby's a good pick." Plus during a chat with Joshua Wexler, some "looney" went about saying how he knew it was going to be about Subby. Add that to the fact MKDA's story wasn't done by the time the script was, and that they had already used Shinnok (MK4), and that he was closely related to the game MKMythologyes, Sub-Zero... it seems like the only way. MK people are known to hear fans' voices and Sub-Zero is popular. All this together makes me belive that Sub-Zero will be the main character, and the game will be based on MK: Mythologies (even though not 100%, movies don't follow the exact same story). Add to the plot the part I quoted earlyer, about Sub-Zero and Scorpion, or the quote below about Smoke... -quote: "I think it would be a good idea if Sub-Zero helped turn Smoke back into a human and then have them go after the Lin Kuei for truning Smoke into a robot." - KL. Smoke died in MK:A, so... I wouldn't count on it being a revealing. *it will be named Devastation. "If it gets made, it'll be a more "devastating" name..." - KL. More specificly... KL:"Devastation". After a while, it was repeated in the same topic: "Uh...hello? DEVASTATION." *Liu will NOT be the one to die. This was most strictly confirmed, a few times. I'd say sorry people, but I'd be laughing, because I like him as the champion. *he also said he wouldn't count on Shou being on it. And as reppy_reps said, Shou filled his 3-movies-contract. *he confirmed, there will be a female Sub-Zero. What? Josh Wexler (Threshold worker) Chat Transcript. When? April 21, 2001. Originally found here: -NosajMKD> My question is for the 3rd film with the movie be released with New Line or who will it be with and this time will Threshold have control over how the movie goes unlike the New Line MKA matter? -Joshua_We> Nosaj - we have gotten all the rights back from New Line - Threshold will be in control!

DreamMast> OK, what kind of drugs were being passed around when MKA was made? And also, can you share them with me? I'd like to make a movie that sucks ass and make money for it too. -Joshua_We> DreamMaster- no drugs - just a studio that wasn't in sync with the Producers McDaniel> so any truth to the sub-zero based movie? -Joshua_We> McD - don't know what you're talking about McDaniel> Any MKC stars playing any characters for MK3? -Joshua_We> McD - don't know Shaddow18> I would like to say thanxs alot Josh for answering my Question and i know you are a great Business man and i know you wont let me down with Quanchi Please bring him back ......u are the Best josh thanxs alot Much Props -Joshua_We> Shadow - Quan Chi is going to open up a can of whoop-ass soon enough (Webmaster note: MK3 reference?) Orchid> is Keith (Cooke) gonna be in the next movie? -Joshua_We> Orichid - don't know McDaniel> bring back jeff meeks as shao-kahn in mk3 if he's in it McDaniel> and get chris lambert back as rayden -Joshua_We> McD - working on it Orchid> is there any chance of Christopher coming back? Orchid> to work as Rayden? -Joshua_We> orchid - yes Takeda> josh, any chance of future MK music albums? -Joshua_We> Takeda - you can count on them (Webmaster note: Yay!) Gold-Fire> In the Mortal Kombat Annihlation talks about Kabul and Stryker are they going to be in the 3rd movie? -Joshua_We> GoldFire - maybe... Orchid> when is the mk3 movie coming out about? -Joshua_We> Orchid - can't answer that yet (Webmaster note: perhaps they just haven't released a date?) -Joshua_We> Alright crew - I have to get jamming, lots to do, got to get MK3 and MKFOMA in the theaters and on the air! -Joshua_We> Thanks everybody for coming. I'm going to ask Kung Lao to post some questions I have on the site in the next few days for everybody -so this next movie is frickin awesome What? Ed Boon (Co-creator of Mortal Kombat) Chat Transcript. When? April 11, 2001. Originally found here: KungLao> QuanChi> question : what about a 3rd mk movie ? when will it be released if eb boon knows of course -ED_BOON> I don't know for certain, but there's been a lot of talk! -Dr_Mayhem> Question: Can you tell us anything about the MK3 movie? -ED_BOON> I think the guys at Threshold will be better suited to answer that question. Although I would love to see a third movie. What? Dana Hee (Mileena in MKA, Sian MKC) Chat Transcript. When? July 28, 1999. Originally found here: Darth_Yoda says: Hello, is there a third mortal kombat film in the works? Dana Hee: Will there be another MK movie? Who knows? But my guess is that it would be inevitable. What? Lynn 'Red' Williams (Jax in MKA) Chat Transcript. When? July 21, 1999. Originally found here: AAlexis says: Are they going to make a 3rd movie? Lynn Red Williams: I sure hope so! QuanChi says: Would you please tell me if there are any plans of doing a MK3? Lynn Red Williams: I've heard rumors, I'm waiting, like you MKfan says: If there will be a MK3 movie, are you going to play Jax again? Lynn Red Williams: If you guys keep supporting me, I'm sure they'll have to put me in it. What? Chris Cassamassa (Scorpion of the first MK movie) Chat Transcript. When? July 14, 1999. Originally found here: cb1 says: Is there going to be a 3rd movie? Chris Casamassa: I hope so. I'm looking forward to donning the scorpion suit once again. Keep telling everyone on the site that you want another movie and hopefully we'll get one. |
