After years of anticipation, this Monday, the Mortal Kombat movie begins filming in Australia. News of the development milestone comes way of writer of the movie, Greg Russo, who revealed a picture from set earlier this week, noting that it’s been a 42 month-long fight to make it all happen. For those that don’t know: the movie, which was first announced all the way back in 2011, is being filmed in South Australia, and will be the largest production ever shot in the area. Behind it will be first-time filmmaker Simon McQuoid, who will be joined by producer James Wan, who is perhaps best-known for producing Aquaman.
