While many video game movies don’t work out, that hasn’t stopped some of them from reaching cult classic status. In fact, a handful of them are a lot of people’s go-to bad films to watch when looking to laugh or reminisce. That said, as 2018 draws to a close, it has become more apparent that reboots of these adaptations are on the way, and Mortal Kombat is no exception.

With new technology available, directors and film crews have more tools than ever to create faithful adaptations of players’ favorite games, which is what James Wan will be looking to do with the reboot of the movie based on the popular fighting franchise. The director sent out a tweet earlier this year that offered a bit of advice to those seeking new information about the reboot. Check it out for yourself below:

Please don’t be so easily baited by faux information. Good & bad news: nothing is happening yet. Literally. Still in early development. Anyone who tells you the movie is location scouting or casting is trolling you. #MK

As it turns out, not much has changed since the above tweet was posted. “That has been such a tricky one just trying to get the script to a point,” Wan recently told Heroic Hollywood. “People don’t know this, fans don’t understand this, but there’s just so much on the business side of things… to try and get the right budget for it, and we want to make sure we have enough resources and the budget to do the film right.”

“If I can’t get the right resources and find the right filmmaker for it, I don’t want to do it, and I’m so busy already,” he continued. “I don’t need to clutter my plate with more stuff if I don’t believe it can be done right.” While fans are always hesitant when it comes to video games movies, we can all appreciate Wan’s need to take his time and get it right.

The Mortal Kombat reboot producer’s latest work will be on display later this month when Aquaman, which Wan directed, hits theaters on December 21st.
