Contested prod. Detetion request is per WP:NFF. According to [1], filming hasn't started, and won't start for months. Funnyfarmofdoom _{(talk to me)} 04:13, 2 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

PRIMEMAN3457: I know filming has not yet started. I read one source that said it'll start in March. However, when I got the message that the page was in nomination to be deleted, I decided to remove that from the page and to wait for further information. (This is the first time I been in a discussion like this on Wikipedia)

Incubate. My first thought is that since the film hasn't been made yet, it falls under WP:CRYSTAL in that we don't know if it'll get made at all or if it'll fall through. The thing about films is that anything can cause the project to get dropped regardless of how popular the project might be or become. Then again, this is already pretty high profile and there's been a lot of media buzz. The only thing that's making me lean towards delete is that no filming has actually started and the vast majority of the press was from September/October when the film was announced. My only true argument for keeping it is that there's going to be more press once the filming starts in 3 months, but that's a WP:CRYSTAL argument and not a valid one. I really, REALLY think this should be incubated or userfied by someone who can keep on top of it so they can re-post it once more sources become available. I posted what I could find, but most of the sources stem from the same date range. I don't think this has gotten enough publicity for this to fall under WP:NFF.Tokyogirl79 (talk) 05:13, 2 January 2012 (UTC)tokyogirl79[reply]

Redirect to Mortal Kombat#Other media per WP:NFF. --Rob Sinden (talk) 16:58, 4 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect title yes, but per WP:TOOSOON we can incubate this article so it can be built up through collaborative effort using multiple available sources. New Line Cinema and Warner Bros. Pictures are spending $40 million on this project... and even in pre-prodction it's getting a lot of coverage:[2][3][4][5][6][7] So we can use what we have available to get this one ready for mainspace as well as for expanding the redirect target in the meantime.
