Jeri Ryan said it was just a proof of concept to try to "sell" the idea of a new Mortal Kombat movie. Here's the link:

In other words, if they did actually make the film, it wouldn't be some untarnished original vision, like that was, but rather a corporate merchandise shifting device. Which is all we can expect from such ventures, even if some surprise us.

Didn't you see in the Scorpion bit how the colour corrupted momentarily?
Ermac. *knowing nod*

well, maybe the movie will prove interesting and involing, but i seriously dislike and condemn all who decided the looks of the mk characters.. they look just ugly, not cool.Only the names are from mk.. :\

This looks like it may have just the right blend of stupid and awesome to work.
On a related note, trailer for the new MK game.
