Star Trek Voyager's Jeri Ryan To Play Sonya Blade In Live Action Mortal Kombat
Last summer the internet was all abuzz with a fan made Mortal Kombat live action trailer featuring Voyager's Jeri Ryan as Sonya Blade. It appears the trailer was actually made by director Kevin Tancharoen to pitch Warner Bros on a new Mortal Kombat live action project. The new web series is heading to development with Jeri along for the ride.
According to PasteMagazine.com; the project has been greenlit by Warners into a 10 episode web series. The series will follow character Jax Briggs, played by the same actor as in the trailer, Michael Jai White. Other characters appearing in the trailer were Reptile, Johnny Cage, Scorpion, Baraka, and Sonya Blade, the latter played by actress Jeri Ryan.
We definitely loved Mortal Kombat & Mortal Kombat II (especially that guy who would pop out of nowhere to yell "woooohoooo") and look forward to seeing Jeri in another action role.
