This past June, the internet was left floored by a video which at first seemed like a trailer from a new Mortal Kombat film. Instead of traveling through realms and saving the Earth, this short film grounded Mortal Kombat in a single city. All the characters were in some way human including Baraka and Reptile. We later learned the film was a pitch to Warner Bros. in the hopes that it would fund a full length project. That’s not happening, but we will see more of this concept on the web.

Weta Workshop, a film production company which also specializes in high-end, intricate and highly realistic artifacts and replicas, has been helping to produce a live action Halo 3 short film. The first released and teased at E3 this week, is titled “Arms Race.”

The live action project was put together by Bungie Studios, director Neill Blomkamp, WETA Workshop and Origami Digital, LLC.
