That said, the sheer passion and potential on display in Legacy's nine episodes is, at the very least, intriguing and, if all turns out well, an experiment in project-pitching and studio green-lighting that will pay off big for Tancharoen, fans of the videogame series, and the Mortal Kombat franchise as a whole. Legacy isn't perfect - some of its shorts have proven to be as divisive as they are daring - and director, man with a dream, and fanboy on a mission Kevin Tancharoen doesn't exactly make an airtight case for resurrecting Mortal Kombat on the big screen. It doesn't happen very often and it doesn't always work, but when it does, it can be very, very exciting. It never ceases to amaze me when someone with a credit card, an open weekend, a few connections and some cinematic know-how earns the full attention of a major studio, drums up tremendous buzz and support, and pulls off something like Mortal Kombat: Legacy.
