I guess Mortal Combat can now be crossed off the list of potential contracts.
The ''Mortal Kombat'' series will follow the adventures of Kung Lao and his companions as they defend Earth against the forces of Outworld in Mortal Kombat -- a tournament based on honor and tradition. The series will feature exciting martial arts sequences as well as special effects by Threshold Digital Research Labs.
Threshold Entertainment has produced all of the media related to the ''Mortal Kombat'' franchise, which has grossed more than $4 billion worldwide. In addition to being the best-selling video game in history, ''Mortal Kombat'' has been translated by Threshold into a top-rated animated series, a platinum- selling CD, a sold-out, live-event tour, a successful toy line, and a number- one animated home video.
