I have bean working on putting together an idea for a killer instinct movie.
The setting would be in the post-apocalyptic future ruled by Ultratech that was used in the original games. It would tell a version of the story of KI1, with elements of the new story.
My idea is that the films protagonist would be TJ Combo. He is the character who is best suited to be the traditional movie “normal relatable guy.”
Tagline: "After being exposed as using illegal enhancements Ultratech, boxer TJ Combo gets tangled up with a group of misfits in his search for revenge against Ultratech.
The Characters
-
