During last week’s New York Comic Con, we were lucky enough to get the chance to chat with the creative team behind the latest Mortal Kombat Legends movie. Snow Blind finds the cocky and talented but undisciplined Kenshi refusing to take a knee when Kano, vicious and power-mad, becomes determined to take over Earthrealm. The film is available now on digital platforms as well as on disc.
In our final interview for this film, Neil chats with director/producer Rick Morales. Rick has produced all three of the Mortal Kombat Legends movies, working with writer Jeremy Adams on each project. In this interview he discusses stepping in to the directors chair and staying true to the franchises’ three-decade history.
