Mortal Kombat director Simon McQuoid has detailed the extent of the brutality in the R-rated reboot of the film series, which is set to debut in theaters and on HBO Max in April.
Speaking to SFX Magazine via GamesRadar, McQuoid discussed how his upcoming Mortal Kombat movie lives up to its ultraviolent roots in order to deliver a faithful adaptation that brings the blood and gore strongly associated with the series to the big screen in a way that pushes the limits of the MPAA's R rating without completely overstepping the boundaries.
"We wanted to push the [blood, gore, and fatalities] right to the limit," McQuoid explained, speaking about the fatality-filled flick. "Obviously, there's a point where the film becomes unreleasable if you push it too far, and that would be a very unwise return on investment for the studio but from day one it's been, 'Okay, we're doing this and we're going to do it properly.'"
