Wait, Mortal Kombat and serious drama? Happening at the same time?

Directed by Kevin Tancharoen, the man behind the rather excellent reimagined, real-worldMortal Kombat short "Rebirth", part one is a grimy, punchy re-telling of one of Sonya and Jax's early run-ins with a pre-metal-face Kano and the Black Dragon group. There's also a couple of nice foreshadowing references, and the promise of much more reworked MK lore to come in the next nine parts. It's worth a watch however you feel about the game series.
