Lambert: We’re Making Mortal Kombat 3

Man it’s been a while since I’ve ever heard the name Christopher Lambert.  That guy was always lurking around, back in the day.  If there were no new VHS movies with Sylvester Stallone or Schwarzenegger, you’d go to Van Damme or Seagal.  Failing that, Christopher Lambert.  Sorry Christophe, but a 1990’s C-lister is often manlier than a 2010’s A-lister.

So anyway, we never got that third Mortal Kombat movie.  But now according to Lambert, it’s coming.  While speaking with Loaded, the actor claimed that he is in talks to reprise his role as Raiden in a third Mortal Kombat movie, and that it will be quite a bit different than the first two. Yes, it wil introduce inter-dimensional time travel to the mix. Here is what he had to say.

“They have a great idea for the third one. It will be very different. We are going to be traveling through time but in a very special way. So imagine characters having a battle in the middle of London and then whoosh, you smash through a window and find yourself on the hood of a New York cab.”

Say what you will, but to me the first movie has aged very well.  It has some cool fights;
