In a recent interview to SR, director Kevin Tancharoen, the man behind the Mortal Kombat web series and upcoming Mortal Kombat film reboot, talked about his love for fan-films and his wish to take on a new franchise, the Power Rangers.
Tancharoen
first got noticed when he made his own fan film, Mortal Kombat: Rebirth, which
then led to him being able to do the web series Mortal Kombat: Legacy and now
be thinking on rebooting the Mortal Kombat feature film franchise.
“I
see a lot of fan films and I just love that the Internet has allowed a lot of
creators out there to just go and make something. Like, that Portal short was
awesome. I recently saw some Dragon Ball Z short that was great. They made a
Naruto short that was awesome. I mean, there’s so many things out there that
people are making on their own, and I like to see their take on the franchise
because it’s so different from what the studios are developing.”
So Tancharoen’s
love for fan films isn’t really a surprise, because his own fan film was what
gave him the ability to be where he is, what is a surprise is that he revealed
that he would like to tackle another franchise, the Power Rangers.
“Kevin
Tancharoen: Zordon is dying and Red Ranger has to go find the Green Ranger,
who’s now an MMA fighter, and the Yellow Ranger died in a car accident and they
all have to reunite together. You know, just make it as dark as possible. I
thought that would be really fun to do.
Screen
Rant: That’s brilliant. I think you would set the Internet on fire.
KT:
[Laughs] You open up with the Red Ranger doing MMA. I would want to go there
and I think it would be a lot of fun.”
