Trivia: This web-series was inspired by a fan-made concept trailer put together by filmmaker Kevin Tancharoen. The trailer, entitled "Mortal Kombat: Rebirth", sought to make a grounded and realistic version of the "Mortal Kombat" story, with emphasis on science fiction over fantasy.
Trivia: Though it serves as a "reboot" to the prior film series and is thus not related, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa reprised his role as the villainous Shang Tsung from the 1995 film due to the popularity of his portrayal of the character.
