Jeri Ryan in Mortal Kombat????
- Thread starter exodus
- Start date
I'm keeping an open mind, but I'll admit the trailer seems a little "meh" right now. It has too much of a CSI feel to it. And while I have a lot of respect for Jeri as an actress and I think she's very attractive, she wouldn't be my first choice as Sonya. There's too little of her in the clip to really make any sort of judgment, but I just don't tend to think of her as being the action girl sort. Compared to someone like, say, Angelina Jolie whom I think can portray either an action character or a cerebral character.
oh yeah i forgot about that. Eh, he was still a good Raiden and followed his character pretty well. Yeah he didn't fight but he wasn't supposed to.They didn't even try to cover up the fact that French actor Christoper Lambert was playing what was supposed to be Asian when they cast him as Raiden.Not always. The one that came out in the 90's was pretty damn good at keeping its originality. Althought there we're a few quirks, it was still done with a good job. I think it was good because Ed Boon kept supervising it.I second that!
Besides, there's always a straying from the original storyline when a movie comes out based on it. I can deal.
Good point.
...or they could just use a stunt double for her fighting scenes. It's not like they haven't done this type of stuff before.
Jeri is in good physical shape. I'm pretty sure she could do most of her own scenes.
I don't doubt it but is she trained in the martial arts to pull off a proper fight scene? That's the question.
....but as I said, she doesn't have too unless she wants too. They can always insert a stunt double. Usually most of the other "masked" characters are just that.
Dana Hee is the most viable stunt double, she's stood in for Jeri before, and she's done stunt work for the original Mortal Kombat movie from the mid 90s.
I would most certainly check this flick out. How can one go wrong with Mortal Kombat and Jeri Ryan mixed together?
Jeri says she hasn't heard anything more about the possibility of a movie yet. We can but hope!
She's got Leverage to fall back on, plus that Mortal Kombat: Reborn trailer was quite high profile anyway so she'll perhaps find it easier to get roles in cop thrillers, ect.
