Hasil wawancara dengan Sutradara Mortal Kombat Rebirth : Kevin Tancharoen
Buat yang belum pernah liat film pendek Mortal Kombat Rebirth nih ane tampilin
Video ini sudah dilihat oleh lebih dari 3 juta orang di Youtube
Ini cuma film pendek buatan sutradara Kevin Tancharoen, kemungkinan besar maksud dibuatnya film ini adalah supaya menarik minat Warner Bros selaku pemegang lisensi film Mortal Kombat untuk mempercayai dia sebagai sutradara
Dari hasil wawancara Tancharoen dengan Collider.com ada beberapa hal informasi yang perlu digaris bawahi :
Film ini di shot dalam waktu 2 hari
Dimulai dari awal bulan April dan menghabiskan 2 bulan untuk post production. Sebagian besar pemerannya memberikan waktu mereka secara cuma2. Sehingga bujet untuk membuat film ini hanya sekitar $7,500
Agar dapat dipercaya untuk menjadi sutradara di versi film asli nantinya. Dia ingin membuktikan kalau dia bisa mengerjakan semuanya sendiri.
Tak ada seorangpun di studio Warner Bros yang tahu kalau dia mengerjakan film ini.
Naskah film ini ditulis oleh Oren Uziel. Orang yang memang akan mengerjakan naskah film Mortal Kombat remake nantinya jika dilihat dari data di situs IMDb.
Dia mengatakan kalau dia ingin membuat film yang menyeimbangkan antara dunia nyata dengan duina mistis. Mirip seperti cerita Harry Potter tentang dunia sihir. Dimana kedua dunia tersebut saling berhubungan.
Dia mengkonfirmasi kalau di filmnya akan ada "Fatalites"
Pastinya akan menggunakan kata "Get over here" yang sudah terkenal di game nya.
Michael Jai White yang memerankan tokoh Jaxx kemungkinan besar akan tetap tampil apabila film ini jadi dibuat ke layar lebar.
Scorpion adalah tokoh "bad guy" dan akan tetap seperti itu (tidak akan diubah menjadi orang baik2 )
Mereka hanya memiliki waktu 4 jam untuk melakukan syuting fight scene-nya.
Berikut adalah hasil wawancara lengkap yang dilakukan oleh Collider.com dengan Tancharoen :
Spoiler for wawancara 1:
C= Collider KT = Kevin Tancharoen
C: So lets just jump on in. This thing came out of left field on yesterday. It was everywhere. So how long ago did this project first get started?
KT: I had been thinking about this for awhile now. Just in passing, Ive always had these conversations about Mortal Kombat because everyone was talking about rebooting the movie. I guess thats the popular term everyone uses now. Reboot, reboot, lets just take everything and reboot it. Of course I had my opinions on it, because of the first two movies, and because I was such an avid fan of the game. I was a quarter dispenser, and I dont know how much I spent over at the Sherman Oaks golf course, whatever that place is called now. Right by the Galleria. And I had a lot of opinions on it. I really, really thought that something special could be made there. And it got to a point where we just kept talking about it, and I just had to do it. It took over a two-month span of time. I shot this whole thing in two days on two Red cameras that were donated to me with a group of friends who all believed in the cause. We shot it at Lacey Street Studios on Saturday and Sunday afternoon and we just kind of had fun with it. It all started at the beginning of April and it took two months to do all the post and the editing. I edited it myself and the visual effects were great people donating their time. It turned out to be pretty awesome. I was very, very happy about it. Its one of those passion projects that lived in my head. The technology is so accessible now. Theres was no reason why I shouldnt do it, so I did it. Im very, very happy that people are responding well to it. I know that theres definitely a handful of purists that have their opinions on the mysticism and the mythos of Mortal Kombat. But I do have an answer for that: this is just a prelude to what my movie version would be. And of course, when youre working by yourself, you have a limited resource of budget. I made this thing for $7,500. I couldnt go balls-to-the-wall on visual effects. I had to utilize what I could and make the best of it. I want the mysticism to be treated carefully and with integrity. We just kind of went for it, and did it. And everyone was available, they believed in the project. We picked up the camera, and we went, and we didnt stop.
C: Its just funny when I think one of the things that a lot of people thought was interesting was that the guy who directed Fame: hardcore Mortal Kombat fan.
KT: Yeah, yeah, heres the thing about that. Though I had some success in the choreography realm and if you look at my background its more plastered with Britney Spears, and dance fights, and Pussycat Dolls. But ever since I was a kid, and this has never changed, the first thing I did was take karate. Forever, Ive been nothing but a lover of comic books and video games. Ive been immersed in the fanboy culture. Thats me as a person. And somehow, because I got really savvy with the technology, I was able to utilize MPC and Pro Tools and really get into music, it steered me in the direction of the pop music scene and choreography and stage directing. My heart has always been deeply immersed in fanboy culture. As a kid, all I wanted to do was be a Ninja Turtle who morphed to a Power Ranger. As long as I was in the suit, I was going to be happy, because I just wanted to be in the suit. I think, of course, for the people that know me, this is not really a shock. Because they know that this is my love. And I do understand that its crazy to see such a shift in genre. But this is what I want to do, and this is what Ive always wanted to do, and am very passionate about. And I knew that because Ive always been in the performance world, if I ever wanted to make a genre picture, I had to do it myself first. So that was another reason why I felt like I should do this. And I went for it.
C: Oh, no, I definitely think that sometimes you have to show people rather than tell people for them to understand where youre coming from.
KT: Especially nowadays, were just coming into a world where people are very skeptical of taking your word anymore. And you cant just really draw a storyboard or concept art, because the technology is so available that they kind of expect you to have already made it. Seeing these handful of films from really great talent out there I think The Raven was one. Pixels was one. Carl Erik Rinsch is obviously a very good commercial director. But when his short films came out, everyone really responded to them. Its such a unique tool for younger filmmakers now more than ever. And to not use that, I think is a mistake. I think its great that younger filmmakers are really able to showcase their work on the web. Because the social networking is so huge now. Its such a great testing ground. Theres no reason to not do it.
C: So the big question is, did the studio, or anybody involved with the video game or anybody know you were doing this?
KT: No. They did not. (Laughs) This was something I did completely on my own. However, there is a little bit of a tie-in, because I happen to be friends with Oren Uziel. And since were friends, I just called him up and said Listen, I want to do this. This is what I have in mind. I want it to be contained, because I am not a studio with endless amounts of cash. Then we started storyboarding from there, and started calling my friends, and started pulling as many favors as I possibly could. And I was thrilled that they all said yes. (Laughs)
C: One of the things that, looking at the comments online and something that I like about it is the whole youre setting it in the real world without the supernatural thing. So everyone is sort of its a very real-world, grounded kind of feel. Obviously, a lot of fans out there are probably hoping you are going to land being able to do the movie. Is this your take on what would be your feature film?
KT: Oh, yeah. Definitely, this is my take on what I would want to do with Mortal Kombat. I would love it if Warner Bros. wanted to do it this way. But I was so passionate about doing this, that I just had to pick up the camera and do it. Now like I said, because I am such a fan of the Mortal Kombat series, I know theres a lot of concern about the mysticism and the special powers and all that kind of stuff. Well, like I said, this is really designed the short so far is really designed like a prologue to the movie. Now, in a movie version, I am going to have that mysticism there, but it has to be done in a very tasteful way. I wouldnt like it too campy or too cheesy. I know this is a weird analogy, but its the best one I can think of right now. Its kind of like when in Harry Potter, theres two universes that coexist with each other. Theres the real world, and then you get on the train and then you go to Hogwarts, and thats where all the magic is. It was actually kind of similar in the first Mortal Kombat, too. They had to get on the ship and go to the island, and thats where all the crazy stuff happened.
