Alright everyone. Let's sit down and make a list of really good franchise prequels. Ready? Go!

Revenge of the Sith…

Hm.

I think I'm done.

Wait! I think Temple of Doom counts.

2! Beat that.

Hey here's some good news! They're making a Mortal Kombat prequel! That's right, Moviehole says it's in the works, and will star the villain of the previous films, Sub Zero as its hero.

Apparently the idea is to take a page out of the Scorpion King's playbook, because that worked so fantastically there, and have a bad guy return in a prequel as a good guy.

The bad news (aside from the fact that this movie is even being made or the fact that you're lame enough to actually be reading a Mortal Kombat news article) is that none of your favorite actors (sarcasm) from the previous movie, including the great Christopher Lambert, will be showing up; maybe not even Keith Cooke who played Sub Zero. Well, actually that's good news. They could always find someone who can act to play him. Wait, this is a prequel isn't it? Fat chance of that happening.

What's the over under on this being worse than Dumb and Dumberer? Make the prequels stop!
