Rebirth

Deacon City Police Captain Jackson Briggs informs assassin Hanzo Hasashi about the criminals Reptile and Baraka; the latter has recently killed actor-turned-undercover-officer Johnny Cage in a fight. Briggs believes they were both working for a man named Shang Tsung. This short film was made by the director to sell Warner Bros. on his vision for a re-imagined Mortal Kombat film. After positive response to the film, the pitch eventually evolved into the web series Mortal Kombat: Legacy.
